I don't mind the K zone, but its much harder to critique the ump when its not there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have become a nation of conspiracy theories, many propagated on Twitter. No way this was scripted.

Capn12 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 How big was it, for Seby to have the game he had, as well? It is all speculation, of course, but I think no chance in hell Collins is up there, looking to walk, in that situation, down a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have been a fan of the WS for over 65 years. This had to be one of the 5 most memorable games in my lifetime. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a nice conversation with the ump after either the 4th or 5th. It’s impressive no one was tossed on that stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) will LH be demoted now ? I'd rather risk it with Kopech or Kimbrall in a play off game than LHGS(liamhendrickgascan). Edited August 13, 2021 by zisk add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getupstretch39 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Man, still flying high after last night. What a roller coaster. Unreal game in an unreal setting. TA is incredible. Not to pick nits, but I'm not gonna lie.....I hold my breath every time a ball is hit to him in a big spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanton or Judge or whoever that was should have been called out for going out of the baseline. TA didn't make a great throw obviously, but if he stays in the baseline he's out.

Leonard Zelig Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Come on guys. It all over Twitter. In honor of Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, and the 7 other Black Sox, MLB conspired to get a team in playoff contention to intentionally lose the regular season game with probably the largest viewing audience ever.

I honestly think of him as mediocre closer. Average save %. Throws hard, but wild in the strike zone. Always has to go right at them. It seems like he can't succeed if his stuff isn't perfect. I'll be the first to admit Larussa didn.t do him any favors by sitting him for 6 games before hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this to at the time, but I looked up the rule and it says that the runner is to be called out if leaving the baseline interferes with the throw to 1st. It doesn't say anything about avoiding a tag. It also says one foot in and one foot out is considered to be within the baseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was right to let Sevy hit, what I don’t understand is why our 27th man Mendick was pinch hitting in the 9th down a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, Collins might have played a role there. NY Had other, right handed relievers they could have gone to - most notably Loaisiga. They chose to go with Britton, a lefty - knowing that the White Sox wouldn't pinch hit Collins for Zavala against a lefty. That set up Anderson facing a lefty.
