Well not KB or Mookie . . .Took me a sec to realize they were all part of 2004's ALCS
Looking this up, the ball was dead as soon as he fell into the stands and it's one base awarded, because he caught it in live ball territory. That's a bit of a curious rule but it is such a rare play.To be clear, if Verdugo had jumped back into play after taking the tumble and THEN thrown the ball back to the infield, the runners would not have been awarded
Counterpoint: or the Dodgers should have won a laugher with better RISP, BABIP, and less squanders.FOX trying to hype this up as an all-time game... eh, only the ending. Yankees should have won 2-0 with clean D.

You talking about the stapler centrr?Wondering if they put anything on the scoreboard 6 miles to the southwest and what the reaction was/how many fans there
Only if we don't count Verdugo. He's dead to us.So many Sox connections in and around this game. That was fun.
Pretty sober, calm take from him tonight. The thrust of his reaction is it’s just one game but it illustrated the Dodgers pen advantage and he thinks the Yankees, particularly Cole, were lucky to keep some balls in the park several times.
Sorry!I unpinked you for this? What a fucking treat.

Hill instead of Cortes seemed like the obvious move.Weaver was only at 19 pitches, I know he got tired last series but the other options were Jake Cousins, Tim Hill and a half-dead Nestor Cortes, so maybe that was the time to extend Weaver.
Saving Brasier for tomorrowSo many Sox connections in and around this game. That was fun.
Sadly I imagine a lot of Laker fans are also MFY fans.You talking about the stapler centrr?

Interesting, the announcers got it wrong then. Thanks for correcting.Looking this up, the ball was dead as soon as he fell into the stands and it's one base awarded, because he caught it in live ball territory. That's a bit of a curious rule but it is such a rare play.
And Cowboys and Duke.Sadly I imagine a lot of Laker fans are also MFY fans.
I always find the less / fewer correction funny, but that's me.Sorry!
Promise no more Soshisms directed at you any more
No dice. But i can provide the foreign language broadcasts!Anybody got the Sterling call?
Great pic!I'm still jumping. Kudos to the writers.
https://www.dailynews.com/sports/20131014/kirk-gibsons-home-run-moment-still-as-powerful-25-years-later/time stopped 25 years ago, where were you?
At 8:37 p.m. on Oct. 15, 1988, Kirk Gibson reached out across the plate from the left-handed batters box at Dodger Stadium.
He flipped his bat awkwardly with as much arm strength as he could generate since his legs were of little use at that point.
The result was a fly ball that kept going and going and going, and the back-door slider from future Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley landed in the right-field pavilion.
On the replays, maybe you see the red tail lights from people hitting the breaks on their cars as they’re leaving the stadium parking lot, convinced the game was over.
Anyone else who stayed in the park for that moment wasn’t going anywhere.
Looked but didn't see any "I'm getting Tommy John surgery for this?" T-shirts with a photo of Freeman's walkoff for sale on Redbubble yetWell, good news for the Yankees is that Cortes should be well rested for Game 2.
"Stop comparing me to an intelligent person. I'm not, dammit!!!!" (I'll compare and celebrate any fucking way I want.)"I'm not mad! Please don't write that I'm mad!!!"

Watch Freedie Freeman Walk off Grand Slam..
Watch it another 1000 times..
Still watching it!
What a great day!!!!!!
This is what I don't understand. Isn't Hill a lefty? Why Cortes and not Hill? Hurt?Hasnt Hill been good?
This is odd by Boone.
Boone wanted to let Nestor get his legs back under him in a nice, low leverage situation.This is what I don't understand. Isn't Hill a lefty? Why Cortes and not Hill? Hurt?
No, Hill is fine but was a midseason waivers pickup, whereas the last time Nestor was in the postseason, he started and won a deciding ALDS game 5 against CLE on 3 days rest. He was a warrior in that series, I'm sure that's what tipped Boone (rightly or wrongly, Hill could have easily blown it too against the top of that lineup),This is what I don't understand. Isn't Hill a lefty? Why Cortes and not Hill? Hurt?
Ha. But seriously. There is a “scripted” joked to be madeYou just said it did.
Kidding.
I was at a Kings game in the LA Forum when Gibson hit his home run. Before social media and video boards. Fans listening to the Dodger game on the radio started clapping and word got around. It was cool.You talking about the stapler centrr?
