2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Asdrubal Cabrera looks like Bobcat Goldwaithe.

Bobcat has more range at this point in their careers.

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Happy for Washington baseball fans.
Congrats Nats!

 

[sean1562]

glad Max got to win a ring

 

[LogansDad]

God damn those hats are fucking stellar.

 

[Fratboy]

I still find it unbelievable that Scherzer gave up only two runs.

Congrats to Nats town. They are worthy. 5-0 in elimination games this postseason.

 

[crystalline]

Yeah, I've sometimes wondered about the use of this phrase. It seems to need retirement when the defending team is eliminated and thus defenseless. I think it died back in September, no?


I can't imagine Montreal really cares.

Check for yourself.

Zero about the Nats.

 

[ifmanis5]

Natstown is canceled.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Cole exits stage right out of the bullpen and doesn’t stop walking.

 

[sean1562]

congratulations world champion Fernando Rodney

 

[crystalline]

Ken Rosenthal is not a large man

 

[BigSoxFan]

All those scoring chances against Scherzer in the first 5 innings. Way to tough it out, Max

Yup. Astros couldn’t knock him out and you knew it was ominous.

 

[mauidano]

Fox couldn't show a single DC watch party? What are they doing?

The Bullpen in DC looked pretty impressive. That was a LOT of people.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Congrats to the Expnats. And the Natspos.

 

[Wingack]

Freaking awesome.

Who is gonna meet me at the parade?

 

[thehitcat]

Zimmerman running in from first yelling "Holy Shit!" in disbelief is my new favorite moment. I really hope someone captures that in a Gif/Meme whatever.

 

[McBride11]

Scherzer powered through 5 tough innings, left a lot of men on base. WAsn't pretty but got it done.
Hou gotta be kicking themselves not getting more

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So many happy lawyers right now!

 

[mauidano]

God damn those hats are fucking stellar.

The Houston Astros 2019 World Champions hats are on their way to Africa or the incinerator.

 

[patinorange]

congratulations world champion Fernando Rodney

You know what. Good for him.

 

[InstaFace]

Who was that guy they showed sitting on the WAS bench, stone-faced, as the team whose uniform he was wearing won the title?

 

[uncannymanny]

Fuckin A what a great series.

 

[curly2]

I love baseball.

 

[edoug]

6 straight years the Series winning team has won it on the road. 3 in the 7th game.

 

[InstaFace]

Cole exits stage right out of the bullpen and doesn’t stop walking.

He had to go see about a contract.

[DontTauntOrtizMe]

Congratulations to the “Natinals!” #natstown

 

[thehitcat]

Jose’s Keys to the game turned this whole thing around.

This is truth! Congrats to you and your daughter @jose melendez

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Who was that guy they showed sitting on the WAS bench, stone-faced, as the team whose uniform he was wearing won the title?

The bat boy. A local guy supplied by the home team

 

[ngruz25]

congratulations world champion Fernando Rodney

42 years old, 11 teams in 17 seasons, and one World Series ring.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Zimmerman running in from first yelling "Holy Shit!" in disbelief is my new favorite moment. I really hope someone captures that in a Gif/Meme whatever.

So happy for him, Kendrick, Cabrera, Suzuki, Gomes, Scherzer, Rodney, Hudson and Doolittle. And then you have Rendon and Soto who were amazing as well. A lot of these guys have come close but never won until now.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Freaking awesome.

Who is gonna meet me at the parade?

When is it?

 

[singaporesoxfan]

Can hear fireworks in my neighborhood. Awesome!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Astros didn't hit with RISP. more bad luck tonight than bad ABs, but that's story 1A for them. they would have lost to the Rays if not for Cole and a couple instances of exploiting tipping for an inning.

story 1B is Hinch has to assume you're stuck at 2 runs. your best option is Greinke, not the bullpen ace showing signs of fatigue. I wonder if Cole couldn't really go many batters.

 

[Dr. Winston O'Boogie]

So glad that Cashman is a mediocre GM that wouldnt go the distance for Corbin. Otherwise they'd have a ring tonight.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Congrats Nats fans. And I too love baseball. How long until P&C report?

 

[bosockboy]

He had to go see about a contract.

 

[Wingack]

Has Kedrick ever won a ring before?

 

[coremiller]

The purple suit is a bold choice.

 

[DanoooME]

Wow, the Nats are owned by a zombie.

 

[phrenile]

Baby shart.

Holy shit that is good. Kudos

Poot poot poot poo-poo poot

 

[The Filthy One]

That suit, that tie, that shirt.

 

[jon abbey]

Has Kendrick ever won a ring before?

Looks like he was never even in a WS before.

 

[InstaFace]

It's still super weird that they give the trophy to the owner, have him speak first, etc. The moment is about the rich white guy, people! He's the protagonist here!

 

[McBride11]

Ted looks pretty good for 94

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That shot of Eaton running in from the OF with his glove on his head was fantastic.

 

[Fratboy]

The purple suit is a bold choice.

More plum than purple, but I think it's snazzy.

 

[DanoooME]

Has Kedrick ever won a ring before?

Closest he ever got before this was the LCS twice.

 

[genoasalami]

Congrats Nats fans. And I too love baseball. How long until P&C report?

103 days

 

[Ale Xander]

Hey Fox, it's principal, not principle.

Hockey and soccer get this right and give the trophy to the team captain.
