FS1 also.
All they talked about for 3 innings Saturday night was how great Snell looked, and how to beat Gerrit Cole.
Osuna made me nervous.......

@GrouchoTex

Me too. How does he come out and finish up the 8th inning with such efficiency and then fall apart in the 9th? Thank God for Will Harris.

Anyone watching last night...the diving final out of the Series by Michael A. Taylor, could see that he still doesn't feel like he's contributed enough to celebrate like his teammates.

He's so humble...being sent down to Triple A for most of the season because of his high number of strikeouts.

Dusty Baker called him the best Centerfielder he's ever seen. ....back then.

Now If the Yankees don't make it  to the WS, they'll need to put the COB office, and coastal baseball illuminati of suicide watch.

Here is a fun fact....   Kershaw's post season record is now 9-11, 4.43 era, and 1.105 WHIP.  He may be Cooperstown bound, but it won't be for his post season record.

@AllThatJazzZ

LOL - thank you!  Yes, I'm hanging in there.  I actually missed most of the carnage. I had to leave home right when the game started to go to my son's house to babysit (very few things trump baseball, but my baby granddaughter definitely does!), and by the time I got there it was pretty much all over but the shouting.  Or maybe I should say the cursing?

Ah, baseball, you do break my heart ... but I still love you!

Now see, no one told me about that part before I got hooked.  **nononono*

Tonight is our night to move up or to stay home. Our starting pitchers have struggled and our bats have been fairly cold. I'd love to watch the game like this  :pop41: But I fear it might be more like this  :0001:.

BTW, I have such a soft spot for Brian McCann. I'm glad for him that he's finally able to retire, relax and rest those knees. I remember his saying that he was so exhausted at the end of game 7 of the 2017 WS, he didn't have another inning left. God bless him.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it the most, it stops.

In case anyone is interested, the Kindle version of Dwight Gooden's autobiography is $0.99 today.




Quote
A brutally honest memoir of talent, addiction, and recovery from one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time. As a shy nineteen-year-old, Dwight Gooden swept into New York, lifting a team of crazy characters to World Series greatness and giving a beleaguered city a reason to believe. Then he threw it all away.
Now, with fresh and sober eyes, the Mets’ beloved Dr. K shares the intimate details of his life and career, revealing all the extraordinary highs and lows: The hidden traumas in his close-knit Tampa family. The thrill and pressure of being a young baseball phenom in New York. The raucous days and nights with the Mets’ bad boys (and the real reason he missed the 1986 World Series Victory Parade). The self-destructive drug binges and the three World Series rings. His heartbreaking attempts at getting sober, the senseless damage to family and friends, and the unexpected way he finally saved his life—on VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

In Doc, Gooden details his close friendships with many of baseball’s greats: Pete Rose, George Streinbrenner, Joe Torre, and nephew Gary Sheffield. For the first time ever, he reveals the full story of his troubled relationship with fellow Mets superstar Darryl Strawberry. And he tells the moving story of the Yankees no-hitter he pitched for his dying father. Doc is a riveting baseball memoir by one of the game’s most fascinating figures, and an inspiring story for anyone who has faced tough challenges in life.

How the new dead ball is faking out players, fans and even cameramen
Sam Miller



It was a deep fly ball off the top of the wall that set up one of the loudest storylines of this postseason: Ronald Acuna Jr. "hoisted a mighty blast that wasn't quite as mighty as he believed" in Game 1 of the National League Division Series, began an early home run trot that cost him a double, then got chastised by his Atlanta Braves teammates and his "beyond miffed" manager. Acuna's presumption was, presumably, also noted by his opponents. "I was always aware when a runner made a mistake like that," TBS broadcaster Ron Darling said during the game.

I feel like that pajama-wearing geek in the Coca-Cola spot sitting in the bleachers watching his team get their asses handed to them...standing up yelling:

"Just because 'Your' team wasn't good enough or lucky at the right moment to advance...there's STILL a lot of exciting baseball to be played."

Screw the Yankees and their 'trillion' dollar payroll.  They've been trying to buy pennants since Jesus was a boy in Nazareth.

The pitching and hitting matchups between the Astros and Nationals are the best in the sport.

(If it's truly a 'Dead' ball for the playoffs, it has to benefit the Nationals...who, IMO have more 'Punch n Judy' gap busters among their lineup bats)

Altuve, Brantley, and Correa are pretty nice in the capacity too, when needed.  Still with the arms being paraded by both sides out there, I have a sneaking suspicon that we might be seeing some low scoring games.

If we can finish off the Stankees, it will be an outstanding series, featuring 8-10 probable future HOF'ers.

I think I have seen about 3 "bat flips" on long outs this post season.  Kind of "Willie Mays Hayes" funny if you ask me.

We need one out of three and they need to run the table.  I like our chances.

I'm trying to recall the last world series that was anything like what I imagine a 2019 Astros vs Nats series would be like.  1960 maybe?
