WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[Al Zarilla]

Madson kind of steers the ball in there. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Alive!!!

 

[DJnVa]

Man, I think Madson on the hill for Royals fans is what we felt like when Leskanic pitched back in 2004.

 

[Lowrielicious]

 
I love hitterish.  You should broadcast this game instead of Harold.  

Only if his wifi has better uptime than the FOX team.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wright is all over Madson

 

[dynomite]

This is basically as good a situation as the Mets could ask for, right?

 

[mauidano]

Wright is pretty dialed in here. Timing it and wait for it....

 

[Beomoose]

Someone in the stands have a medical problem?

 

[Catcher Block]

Wright going inside and outside with Madson. Not trying to kill the ball. 

 

[mauidano]

Ahhhhhhhh....gassed him away.

 

[DJnVa]

So Reynolds is saying that pitchers know when they've had success versus a hitter just like a hitter knows when he's hit someone well?
 
No shit Harold.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

I need a vintage David Wright shoot the gap hit here.

Vintage David Wright is dead.

 

[loshjott]

C'mon Royals, I need to go to bed.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wow.  Great for Madson.  The guy has had to fight to get here, probably more than just about any other players on either roster.

 

[shawnrbu]

Granderson always look so hitterish. 

 
The Kevin Long Effect

 

[shawnrbu]

Wow.  Great for Madson.  The guy has had to fight to get here, probably more than just about any other players on either roster.

 
The Hunter Strickland of the 2015 postseason.

 

[rembrat]

Oh my goddess that was a triple.

 

[Beomoose]

Gritty catch

 

[DJnVa]

Jesus--if that wasn't caught, we could have had a walk-off inside the park HR.

 

[Catcher Block]

Hooooly shit. Granderson saved the game. 

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oh boy, Granderson really can.

 

[ifmanis5]

This game.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

You just can't predict baseball.

 

[InsideTheParker]

You just can't predict baseball.

It's: "You just can't predict baseball, Susan."

 

[Gdiguy]

Jesus--if that wasn't caught, we could have had a walk-off inside the park HR.

 
The Mets have had some great fielding (/luck) all postseason - Wright has made at least 3 leaping stabs of line drives over his head that have saved multiple-run innings.
 
and of course the next ball hits the base.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

Wow. This is a great game.

 

[ifmanis5]

And then that happens.

 

[Beomoose]

Granderson catch then 2 batters later that. Yep, baseball Gods having fun tonight

 

[Catcher Block]

Lucky, because that's a routine ground out to Wright on a 3-0 pitch. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

Still can't get over Gordon hitting 8th.

 

[canderson]

Harold Reynolds must get paid per word spoken. Jesus Christ.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wow.  Niese

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Harold Reynolds must get paid per word spoken. Jesus Christ.

He inherited Steve Lyons' old contract at Fox

 

[InsideTheParker]

Niese gives a lot of depth to the bullpen. I had forgotten about him when I was contemplating this series.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

This game needs to end soon, though. I can't be up until 1am every damn game.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Young just doesn't have the look of a professional athlete.

 

[GlenMorangie]

.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Chris Young...another Royals pitcher who basically crawled out of the career grave and missed a bunch of baseball seasons....

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Perez is a beast.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Young just doesn't have the look of a professional athlete.

He reminds me of James Taylor.

 

[DJnVa]

"Stephen King called in to say he can't believe how imaginative this game is."
 
I know that halfway through that shitty line he knew it was bad.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Perez is a beast.

The ball bounced right back to him.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Definitely some odd stuff going on.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Man, how lucky was that bounce.

 

[Madmartigan]

"Stephen King called in to say he can't believe how imaginative this game is."
 
I know that halfway through that shitty line he knew it was bad.

Who said that?

 

[Beomoose]

Chris Young...another Royals pitcher who basically crawled out of the career grave and missed a bunch of baseball seasons....

He's got a wicked Vaseline Ball

 

[Just a bit outside]

Young just doesn't have the look of a professional athlete.

And there was a decent chance he could have played in the NBA.

 

[Al Zarilla]

O! How I miss Scully and Garagiola.

Really. Also, Mel Allen, Curt Gowdy, Jack Buck, Al Michaels. These guys (mostly due to Harold) are the worst ever. 

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The ball bounced right back to him.

 It did but he also played the carom perfectly.   He has had a great game behind the dish tonight and know that Young is really hard to catch.

 

[DJnVa]

Who said that?

 
Verducci.
