World Series Game 5: It's a Best of Three

[Harry Hooper]

So what happened yesterday when it was a 1-1 game after 8. Different balls?

Borrowed the Rockies' humidor

More seriously, given tonight's starting pitchers, this is the game where you'd want to introduce the juiced baseballs.

 

[strek1]

Crazy game!

 

[RedOctober3829]

LOL What else can you say at this point?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

hahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Borrowed the Rockies' humidor

Finally, a good explanation

 

[McBride11]

4 2/3 innings. None of the pitchers have it tonight. Funny that's how it goes, but he was pitching well until the 5th, although there's not many swings and misses to go around tonight. I'm completely bought into the slick ball theory affecting breaking balls.

Oh ya, Dallas also did poorly. I thought it was interesting that a game started by Kershaw the opponent scored 11. Not a common thing. Shows how wild this series is.

 

[Ale Xander]

It's sad that it's 12:24 on the east coast on a Sunday

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Come on Justin

 

[barbed wire Bob]

Come on hairy man, hit a homer.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Great play in left I think.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

Four hours long already.

Sun just setting in Hawaii?

 

[Van Everyman]

BTW I’m calling the final score right now: 63-61, in 72 innings.

 

[scottyno]

Aww, I wanted Liriano.

Don't worry, when it's 12-12 and going to extra innings he'll be in

 

[patinorange]

Not sure about that hold.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I'm surprised Taylor didn't go

 

[The Filthy One]

That was stung too.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Horrible hold with a fast runner.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dayum

BABIP gods are in the Houston dugout

 

[dhellers]

Not sure if I'm serious or not but can Verlander close? Off day tomorrow so if he only throws one inning seems like he'd be ok. They can't possibly use Giles.

This may not be a crazy idea. Win this one, and start verlander in game 7 if 1 day rest not enough?

 

[Sprowl]

Beauregard Reddick shows off his breech-loading musket.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So he wants 4 outs from Devenski

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I'm surprised Taylor didn't go

He shouldn't have given where Reddick caught that but he would have made it.

 

[mauidano]

It's sad that it's 12:24 on the east coast on a Sunday

6:27 and getting ready for dinner.

 

[Ale Xander]

Sun just setting in Hawaii?

Don't be ridiculous
The sun never sets there

 

[BornToRun]

Ethier popping one would make for a cool moment. Feels like he's been in LA forever.

 

[shawnrbu]

No Liriano here?

 

[Ale Xander]

6:27 and getting ready for dinner.

How do you party on Saturday nights with NFL at 7am on Sunday

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He shouldn't have given where Reddick caught that but he would have made it.

With Taylor's speed, I think you have to force Reddick to make a perfect throw there.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

No Liriano here?

Never. Never Liriano here

 

[Ale Xander]

Oops

 

[patinorange]

Oh no. Zimmer.

 

[mauidano]

Sun just setting in Hawaii?

I’ve lost track of daylight, it’s dark!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wow--it was a miscommunication

 

[DanoooME]

That's an interesting revelation, Taylor hearing "no" on going home.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

6:27 and getting ready for dinner.

Tomorrow in Australia. I hope they don't tell us who won.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

So a miscommunication on that send. Very costly.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Never. Never Liriano here

This is funny. I am dying. And you were right given the Fox replay of Woodward's instructions...

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Didn’t that happen with Zimmer in 75?

 

[dhappy42]

Seriously? No/go confusion on the tag? That’s a little league thing.

 

[Ale Xander]

Maybe take a pitch?

 

[shawnrbu]

Roberts gets burned dropping Bellinger a spot in the lineup. Or would AJ have walked Bellinger to get to Ethier?

 

[paulb0t]

Seriously? No/go confusion on the tag? That’s a little league thing.

Turn left, right?

 

[patinorange]

Didn’t that happen with Zimmer in 75?

Denny Doyle. I don't want to talk about it.

 

[Harry Hooper]

No! No! No! or Go! Go! Go! again in a WS game?

 

[shawnrbu]

Maybe take a pitch?

He wants to hurry up and go work out at API.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That's two innings in a row the Dodgers have stranded a man on third with less than two out. Either homers or gappers tonight. No small ball.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Seriously? No/go confusion on the tag? That’s a little league thing.

It happened in Game 6 in 1975 WS.

 

[BornToRun]

It happened in Game 6 in 1975 WS.

The Gerbil was the third base coach, right?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

He was saying "gotta go, gotta go," which I assume is intended to avoid that very problem but Taylor looks kinda dumb.

 

[Dehere]

Can't understand 3B coaches using both No and Go. Why not just "Stop" rather than Go.

Anybody recall a similar miscommunication for STL in 2004 WS?

Edit - Rather than "No". I fucked it up too!
