WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[kieckeredinthehead]

"We need to make baseball more appealing to the younger generation!"
"No, we must keep its august reputation and play up being a traditional, grown up game."
"Why don't we compromise and produce it for kids and have the most important parts way past their bed time?"
"Fucking. Brilliant. You got any other ideas?"
"Pete Rose."

THERES NO CRYING IN BASEBALL

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Gotta fit some promos in.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Yost is out of his everloving titties.

He's still got Herrera.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

He's still got Herrera.

 
The point still stands.

 

[MakMan44]

Hahahaha Robles. That's a white flag if I've ever seen one

 

[Norm Siebern]

Collins tries to steal time with Clippard, Yost goes straight to Davis.

We will see, but to me Yost manages circles around Collins.

 

[brienc]

Did Strawberry cross the plate yet after his HR in game 7 in the 1986 Series? So glad I lived long enough to see this.

Edit: spell check let me down

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Kelly Johnson using Money for Nothing as his walk up music. That feels more like a Pabloa Sandoval song.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Herrera's been a little shaky. I like this.

 

[staz]

Johnson hit it all the way to Orlando! /Berman

I'm with you there. So many people on the east coast do NOT see the end of these games, except for maybe the Saturday night game. Or if you do see them, you're a zombie for a week.

Watching Yost this year .. He seems to evolved somewhat .. He used to be incredibly dogmatic with his bullpen usage .. Maybe losing his closer has taught him some flexibility.

Well played sir

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wade Davis...quiet killer.

 

[ifmanis5]

That Cain AB really turned things around. Royals are almost there.

 

[Norm Siebern]

That's some range by Zobrist.

Sad Mets fans. That's a shame.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

think Yost is asking too much of Davis but a 2 run game so at least he has some cushion

Davis is rested and strong.  In a game like this, it's absolutely the right move.

Good stuff

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Sad Mets fans.  Oh no.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Hahahaha Robles. That's a white flag if I've ever seen one

Why?  Robles is damn good.  Also, who else do the Mets have left?

 

[cheekydave]

made me laugh

Guess Daniel Murphy doesn't believe in the union between ball and glove either.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

I always figured "don't whistle" was covered on the first day at broadcasting college.

 

[Maximus]

HR just contradicted what he said about Familia yesterday. Yesterday, he said it was a good idea for Familia to pitch in a blowout to get a clean inning in for his confidence. Today, he is saying that it is not good that the Royals have seen him too many times. He is such a dope, ridiculous that he is the 2nd person in the booth for the WS.

 

[MakMan44]

He's an okay middle reliever coming into a game that's basically deciding your season. I think tonight's game is more important than tomorrow. Personally, I'd have left in Familia, but you're right, it's even worse after Robels.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

They should try to bean Davis to get him out of the game

Edit: kidding of course

Maybe

 

[Norm Siebern]

Gotta love national league rules.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

My bad. Was having sex.

The Mets were getting effed over by their defense.

 

[johnmd20]

Oh, Murphy is against gay marriage? I didn't know that. Very disappointing.

HR is an idiot.

We have a thread for that.

 

[Norm Siebern]

This is why NL pitchers as a whole are overrated

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

My bad. Was having sex.

You can still type with the other hand.

 

[staz]

That's the 2nd defensive change you missed, Joe.

 

[mauidano]

The Series rest on this half inning for the Mets!

An okay middle reliever?  1.02 WHIP, 61K in 54 IP.  I think he's better than Reed or Clippard and should be used as such

 

[mauidano]

Nicely done.

 

[MakMan44]

Well, worked out better than Clippard/Familia

 

[ifmanis5]

5-3 lead, eh?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Oh, Murphy is against gay marriage? I didn't know that. Very disappointing.

Worse than that.  He's against the "choice" of a gay lifestyle 

 

[Rico Guapo]

The Series rest on this half inning for the Mets!

 
I've got a feeling we're in for something exciting.

 

[mauidano]

Worse than that.  He's against the "choice" of a gay lifestyle

Fuck him but I'm still pulling for the Mets.

 

[johnmd20]

Worse than that.  He's against the "choice" of a gay lifestyle 

 
People should just shut their mouths sometimes.

 

[staz]

Don't you start pinching him, ump

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Maybe it'll rain.

 

[MakMan44]

Yeah, that's probably true. I only took a quick glance at his numbers, but you're right, he's been more effective than Clippard this season.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Great pitch

 

[Sprowl]

The Wrong Stuff

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Joe Buck really priming the guy who lost his dad clinching the World Series storyline.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

An okay middle reliever?  1.02 WHIP, 61K in 54 IP.  I think he's better than Reed or Clippard and should be used as such

Why not bring him in in the eighth then?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Yeah, that's probably true. I only took a quick glance at his numbers, but you're right, he's been more effective than Clippard this season.

Of course, I'm rooting for the Royals, so I'm happy with how Collins has handled things.
