MLB WS GAME 4 Corey Kluber vs John Lackey

[patinorange]

Get someone up Joe.

 

[bosockboy]

Lackey has zilch.

 

[glasspusher]

This hippy dude Legero with the long hair is the ceo of T mobile?? I'll be avoiding that company.

You'd rather have a button down suit?

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Lack ain't got shit tonight.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Maybe Contreras should try to frame the ball like a real catcher and not a cocky dickbag

 

[glasspusher]

Maybe Lackey was better in the WS when he faced NL lineups.

 

[aksoxfan]

Lackey won't finish this inning. Drat. I was wrong.

 

[rembrat]

Get someone up Joe.

Oh God yes. Lackey is gonna scream at Maddon if he gets a quick hook.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Get someone up Joe.

Anyone warming?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Lack ain't got shit tonight.

Yes he does

 

[glasspusher]

Maybe Contreras should try to frame the ball like a real catcher and not a cocky dickbag

Unlike Baez, he's getting something done this series. Somebody has to be the semi-competent hot dog.

 

[boxosII]

the Indians are loose as hell

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Anyone warming?

Well, Lackey

 

[staz]

No way, the ball wasn't just in the glove, it was put away in the pocket before the runner touched the bag. Plus the umps typically reward good execution by the fielders on those DPs and give them the benefit of any doubt.

Umps watch the base and listen for the ball's snap into the glove, so it needs to be put away in the pocket. And umps don't reward, they rule.

That's fine if you're happy with it. But he "frames" the ball like an idiot. Umpires have to get tired of that shit. Framing is supposed to be subtle.

I alway thought Michael Winslow would make a great first baseman

 

[Catcher Block]

Contreras is going to throw it into the bleachers if he's not careful.

 

[Harry Hooper]

That's not the way it works any more. Ball in glove is all.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Anyone warming?

Montgomery

 

[boxosII]

Lackey should appreciate that play

 

[loshjott]

Pretty DP.

 

[Sprowl]

That was an impressive double play -- not especially elegant, but very quick in footwork and execution.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Lackey should appreciate that play

Until he gets pinch-hit for here

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That was an impressive double play -- not especially elegant, but very quick in footwork and execution.

Russell is really slick

 

[staz]

That's not the way it works any more. Ball in glove is all.

Seriously? Like, "cross the plane of the edges of the glove?" I had no idea.

 

[glasspusher]

That's fine if you're happy with it. But he "frames" the ball like an idiot. Umpires have to get tired of that shit. Framing is supposed to be subtle.

Bob Boone?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bob Boone?

I'm sure that means something

 

[Al Zarilla]

Lackey should appreciate that play

All of his teammates and ex same I've heard speak about him say he's a great teammate. "That's just his way".

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm sure that means something

You need to get hip to the lingo

 

[staz]

I'm sure that means something

Kurt Bevacqua

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Until he gets pinch-hit for here

Guess they like his bat after all

 

[E5 Yaz]

Maddon must think Lackey has more left than he's shown

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Maddon must think Lackey has more left than he's shown

It would be just like Maddon to take him out after one batter next inning

 

[glasspusher]

I'm sure that means something

I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.

 

[staz]

Cubs down to their last 46 outs.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.

And that's my point. Contreras is way too exaggerated, and there is no way that umpires like that.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wut

 

[Al Zarilla]

I remember him very smoothly catching pitches in the 80s, always ending with his glove in the strike zone, like he had to move his glove to the strike zone because the pitch was even more of a strike than he expected it to be.

Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?

 

[Beomoose]

"That will bring in the tying run, Anthony Rizzo" I'm beginning to worry Buck is drinking too much

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That was a really good pitch

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Damn that looked good.

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?

No one remembers Bret?

 

[shawnrbu]

Call the strikezone.

 

[E5 Yaz]

 

[aksoxfan]

I gotta look at brooks baseball.

Edit. This ump not having a great night so far.

 

[glasspusher]

And that's my point. Contreras is way too exaggerated, and there is no way that umpires like that.

I got your point. I was just thinking of one of the smoothest guys I'd seen.

The little things.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Bob Boone: that's Aaron's father, and Ray's son, right?

Bret's dad.

 

[Beomoose]

That seemed unnecessary

 

[InsideTheParker]

Hmmm. Is Kluber tired?

 

[glasspusher]

No one remembers Bret?

Not after my therapy, no.
