WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[glasspusher]

He's out

 

[johnmd20]

Safe

 
Um, no.

 

[DJnVa]

Harold, Joe don't need good eyes to see that.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Love love love.

 

[glasspusher]

Tried to decoy the runner into thinking he caught a line drive.

hah. If I was the runner looking that way, I'd have thought that white thing flying over his head was a giveaway

 

[DJnVa]

Harold is stupid for saying that's a good play to try to get to third. You gotta assume the pitcher is an easy out and that means someone needs a 2 out hit. He doesn't risk it, the pitcher can either sacrifice the runners over or get the K and sit down and you have leadoff man up with 1 out.

 

[glasspusher]

nice bunt. Should have let him swing

 

[strek1]

Joe shouldn't be so presumptuous saying "Looks like the Mets will win this challenge".  We know better. Visual Proof doesn't always mean a reversal.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Haha

 

[glasspusher]

wow, both teams have had some slop

 

[DJnVa]

Of course, then the passed ball makes it moot.

 

[Spacemans Bong]

The Mets need to stop stepping on their dicks.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

So Blue's mistake costs the Mets two runs .. And one in the first

 

[strek1]

KC seems so loose at the plate.  Granted a 2-0 lead will help but damn, so much contact.

 

[ifmanis5]

Mets pitchers are frustrated.

 

[topps148]

Mets pitchers are frustrated.

Heartbreaking.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Terrible throw.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Crunchwrap  baby!

 

[DJnVa]

So Blue's mistake costs the Mets two runs .. And one in the first

 
I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but what?

 

[Gdiguy]

I assume he's referring to the two missed strikeouts (on the check swing and the ball in the zone)

 

[Average Reds]

So Blue's mistake costs the Mets two runs .. And one in the first

Don't care.

I hope the Mets get boned on every call. And I'll scream"that's for 1986" every time.

 

[mauidano]

It's getting late early.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cespedes has yet another new glove, or painted last game's glove partially blue.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, but what?

Zobrist should have been out in the first and he went on to score. In second the Royals hitter (don't remember which one) should have been out on an obvious check swing .. Called a ball .. He goes on to reach .. Leading to two runs that wouldn't have scored otherwise

 

[DJnVa]

 
I assume he's referring to the two missed strikeouts (on the check swing and the ball in the zone)

 
Oh...Blue was capitalized so I was looking for some player's name.

 

[Ale Xander]

 
Wait, what?

Lack of crack plus 1/2 piazzas production elsewhere

 

[DJnVa]

Don't care.

I hope the Mets get boned on every call. And I'll scream"that's for 1986" every time.

 
Yeah. The dude called himself Thor. Fuck the Mets.

 

[Ale Xander]

It's getting late early.

Yogi put you in his will?

 

[crystalline]

I think Reynolds is right, Thor needs to start throwing the breaking ball for strikes. So far besides Zobrist just now all we've seen is KC take breaking balls and swing at fastballs.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

I despise Ventura .. His hat is two sizes too big

 

[Ed Hillel]

Dude, every fucking AL team can play "both styles."

 

[topps148]

 
Yeah. The dude called himself Thor. Fuck the Mets.

When the Royals get through thwinging at his pitches, he'll be thor indeed, I hope.

 

[Average Reds]

I think Reynolds is right, Thor needs to start throwing the breaking ball for strikes. So far besides Zobrist just now all we've seen is KC take breaking balls and swing at fastballs.

It's a fair point, but please try to find a way to articulate it without including the phrase "Reynolds is right."

 

[glasspusher]

Blue squeezing Ventura again. Unfair!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Buck definitely has a Mets bias tonight.

 

[terrisus]

 
Oh...Blue was capitalized so I was looking for some player's name.

Vida?

 

[glasspusher]

I despise Ventura .. His hat is two sizes too big

Really look like he stole it from his big brother

 

[Average Reds]

What the fuck is a "tad bit?"

 

[DJnVa]

Buck definitely has a Mets bias tonight.

 
Well, it seems the storyline they had planned was all about Thor and the Royals give zero fucks about what you want.
 

 

[glasspusher]

Vida?

IBM

 

[Al Zarilla]

I despise Ventura .. His hat is two sizes too big

Guy I coached ball with would tell the players to put a curve in the bill of their cap so they don't look like Donald Duck.

 

[topps148]

IBM

Deep.

 

[mauidano]

GJGE NY.

 

[Al Zarilla]

What the fuck is a "tad bit?"

Redneck?

 

[mauidano]

Wait a minute. What the? No Marlin Man tonight behind home!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

What the fuck is a "tad bit?"

.??? Tad bit = a little .. As in a tad bit outside

 

[mauidano]

How can American Idol still be on the air????

 

[DJnVa]

Redneck?

 
Uh no.
 
Tad originally meant small boy.

 

[johnmd20]

How can American Idol still be on the air????

 
Once a juggernaut, it's now dying and almost dead.

 

[Al Zarilla]

 
Uh no.
 
Tad originally meant small boy.

I meant it's kind of redneck talk.
