What a great game -- so glad I got to be there!!  My son and I got grabbed and hugged by a strange drunk man with meth mouth, and we didn't even care! 
 :beer:   :grouphug:


Congrats to the braves! You deserve it! Enjoy it!

I'm so happy he didn't go to the Dodgers or Giants! Bryce has the right mentality to play in Philly! And hopefully, he helps us land his best friend, Kris Bryant!

Don't get me wrong.  Love that Max Scherzer and Trea Turner, acquired from the NATS to the DODGERS are going back to the ALCS and maybe the World Series.

But for an elimination game, they should have cameras over the plate to verify if that was really a checked swing or not.

Want an even better idea?  MLB should decertify their Union, wipe the slate clean, and base employment on performance, consistency, and accuracy.

Think about it, if a player bats .100 consistently they are released or sent to the minors.  Umps OTOH have created themselves a protected class, and are protected no matter how badly they f__k up.  Hell, they even let their worst officiate in the post season.

Would love to see the likes of Joe West and Angel Hernandez holding a sign and a cup under an overpass.  :cool:

No kidding.  That was definitely not a swing.

I agree, the technology exist.

@Polly Ticks

Thank God Country Joe is retiring.
I hope he isn't umpiring during the World Series.

@catfish1957

I am 100% behind your idea. It could go a long way toward improving the game for the players and the fans. I believe the outcome would have been the same if the ump hadn't made that bad call, but at least it would have felt like a legitimate win. Even my SIL in L.A. -- a rabid Dodger fan if ever there was one -- isn't happy about last night's ending.

TWO Grand Slams in 2 innings this afternoon by the Red Sox, who are up 9-1 right now.

This can't be considered 'good' for TV ratings.

The Lord may punish me, but I'm pulling for the ASTROS to play the DODGERS in the World Series.

@Polly Ticks

After last night's game...there IS something endearing about the BRAVES.

Wish that Nick Matrakis was able to be part of it.

Edit to add:  IMO, the Dodgers have just lost Max Scherzer for the future.  He's gone.

One does not take Max out after only 4.2 innings on THAT 'stage'.  He gives up a 2 run bomb which only tied the score.


Edit 2 to add:  I miss the hell out of @EasyAce !!

@DCPatriot
Yeah, I miss Markakis, too.  Loved that guy.

Scherzer was saying in his post-game press conference last night that his arm was dead and he told them they'd need to take him out ... kind of shocking for him to admit that, really.

What ever happened to EasyAce, does anyone know? I always enjoyed his post-game write-ups.

Dead arm?

Didn't Scherzer pitch for Dusty Baker a few years ago?  That'd make sense.

Trust me, I was in shock.
The Astros did put up 5, but you can't spot the Red Sox 9 in the first 2 innings.
Tonight in Boston, 7pm central time.

The problem I have is he had demanded to be, taken out the dodgers weren't, like oh no and take the ball from him Joe Girardi would have skipped him in the rotation if he knew he had a dead arm, not just because of the NLCS but because it is the health of your player and the dodgers get in. And we are not. It's not right the dodgers don't deserve to be that close to the world series Dave Roberts needs to get replaced in the offseason. How does he let him pitch in a big-time game in that condition?

You guys remember back in early June with Tyler Zombro of the Durham Bulls was hit in the head with a 104mph line drive? I hadn't heard anything about him lately so did a quick Google search and it looks like he's doing really well.

He decided to take some time away from the board. But it appears he is once again writing!
