WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[Harry Hooper]

He's got a wicked Vaseline Ball

 
Uses it for the K.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How do you swing at that? 

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

How do you swing at that? 

Poorly.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Chris Young's "Hey, see if you can hit a homer off one of my high fastballs" pitching style is kind of scary even when successful.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

"Other than the guy covered in fluorescent orange directly at eye level, nobody is sitting"

 

[mauidano]

Geez. He'll never forget this moment. Great pitching.

 

[Beomoose]

OK, KC, time to put this one to bed.

 

[GlenMorangie]

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Chris Young.  Wow.  He was pretty damn good this season so this isn't a surpise.  

 

[jon abbey]

Awesome game. Chris Young seemed to have a no-hitter through five in half of his starts this year, great guy to have in long relief as he seems exceedingly difficult to adjust to. 

 

[canderson]

I'm sleepy, please score now. I cant stay up much longer.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Was Duda looking for something else on that 3-1 heater, or was he overwhelmed by the moment and not going to swing at anything?

 

[Gdiguy]

Mets top of the lineup are pressing, trying too hard to hit HRs
 
On the flip side, Duda taking a 3-1 89mph fastball down the middle I don't quite understand either, don't know what he was sitting on there

 

[PseuFighter]

bartolo time.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Fart Bat!!!

 

[Beomoose]

bartolo time.

Terrifying words for the offense, defense, and buffet table.

 

[mauidano]

36 year old Young matched with the 42 year old Colon on the mound. "Crafty" veterans.

 

[jon abbey]

And now Bartolo Colon's first WS appearance ever, at the age of 42 after 18 MLB seasons. 

 

[Gdiguy]

Quite off-topic, has anyone figured out why Fox has decided to have the 'rub MLB's nose in it' group of Rose & ARod for postseason postgames? Are they doing it from the Shoeless Joe Jackson studio?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Not this guy. He's been hard to hit.

 

[jon abbey]

Weak throw by Wright there, I think a strong throw gets him. 

 

[canderson]

Now steal 2nd.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Its the battle of ageless, skinny, sometimes out of baseball pitchers.  Well, except the skinny part.
 
Orlando!

 

[Murderer's Crow]

 

[bankshot1]

steal

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

 
Colon looks like he ate Chris Christie

 

[Beomoose]

Great form by well known New York resident Christie.

One of MLB's biggest sponsors has been pushing for Rose to be re-legitimized for years. As for Rodriguez, no idea.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

The Royals are an acquired taste

 

[hbk72777]

I'd just have everybody bunt, Colon can't even bend to tie his own shoes

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Take The Crown guy calling balls and strikes

 

[DJnVa]

Steal home and let's get out of here.

 

[Beomoose]

The Royals are an acquired taste

They're not the Mets

 

[Al Zarilla]

Another intentional BB?
 
Yup.

I'd love to see Jim Bouton added for shits and giggles

Now, for the win.

 

[DJnVa]

Jesus--Dyson should think about bunting here. Could Colon get home or the runner heading from third?

 

[Al Zarilla]

If Tito had pinch run for Papi, it would have taken until 2007.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

All lanes between third and home are now closed.

Didn't the A's win a ALDS game against BOS with a bases loaded bunt with two outs?

[Murderer's Crow]

Walk off walk coming up.

 

[mauidano]

C'mon Bart, settle down.

 

[hbk72777]

 
That has to be CGI, HAS TO BE!!!

 

[Pandemonium67]

They shoulda nailed Dyson's bat to his shoulder.

 

[Beomoose]

Walk off walk coming up.

Onlynif Dyson lays off the ball 4

 

[santadevil]

Winning run
About to get walked in.

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

They're not the Mets

Agreed, it's just not immediately clear when you watch them why they're so good. There's nothing really truly electric (except parts of the bullpen). It just all works. The pieces fit together.
