WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[Beomoose]

Bauer has nothing and he still makes Heyward look silly

 

[DanoooME]

Heyward's making every shitty contract in MLB look like money well spent.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Yeah, Fisk game still has it if this ends with a whimper. Or Pirates Yankees.

Twins Braves wins

 

[patinorange]

Yeah, Fisk game still has it if this ends with a whimper. Or Pirates Yankees.

Or Jack Morris.

 

[ifmanis5]

Heyward swung at all the same crap the Sox swung at in the ALDS.

 

[JohntheBaptist]

Because the team MLB wants to win was on the ropes.

You can't be this dumb.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Heyward is awful. I mean, what a horrible signing by Theo et al

Had the "Elite Position Player" stars in his eyes for sure.

 

[garlan5]

Heyward swung at all the same crap the Sox swung at in the ALDS.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[InstaFace]

Not unnecessarily the game 20 minutes in winner-take-all game in the future unless it's a fucking Category 5 hurricane?

Hey cool, I thought i was the only one here who'd finished his bottle of whisky.

 

[genoasalami]

Indians had a huge chance in the bottom of the 9th hacking a way at bunch of hanging sliders from Chapman. Couldn't string anything together.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Quick, put on the bunt, Joe!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If Bauer gets Baez here, this game is not over. Carl Edwards is a middle reliever of the average variety.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Jesus, Heyward. Those were like 45 foot pitches

Maybe he thought he was playing cricket.

 

[DJnVa]

If Bauer gets Baez here, this game is not over. Carl Edwards is a middle reliever of the average variety.

I mean, he's a NASCAR driver!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Twins Braves wins

I prefer Fisk game itself, but that was game 6, not 7, so I can see Twins Braves too.

 

[Average Reds]

Lol, maybe Baez really should bunt.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Yeah, because if a rainstorm comes in in the bottom half of an inning and they don't suspend play and the pitcher loses his command, no one would criticize that.

A few minutes before the tarp got rolled out, Buck said, and I quote, "It's really not raining that hard. I know for those watching...it looks a lot worse than it is."

Shaw was doing fine, command-wise.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Two is manageable.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Why only Edwards up in the pen?! Seems way too narrow with the stakes.

 

[scotian1]

In hindsight Terry should have had Bauer in to start the inning after the rain delay.

 

[tbrep]

I'll say it now: best game ever

I still rate 2011 WS Game 6 higher (yes, it was only game 6 but two comebacks with a team down to their final strike is pretty amazing).

If Cleveland make it interesting in the bottom of the 10th, that would change things

 

[strek1]

Only 2 runs. Not like the Cubs have a lights out guy coming into the game. Ya never know.......

 

[DJnVa]

A bloop and a blast...

 

[BigSoxFan]

Can we just skip past the inevitable Napoli K?

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

I'm genuinely surprised Baez made contact.

 

[BornToRun]

Bauer with some nice pitching to keep it close.

 

[canderson]

Time for some midges.

 

[DanoooME]

Edwards over Strop and Wood. Huh. This will be interesting. Especially if it doesn't go well.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Bauer handles it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Think this kid's nervous?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If someone gets on base in front of Guyer, he's hitting a 2 run homer to tie it up. He's had the best at bats of anybody on either team tonight.

 

[rembrat]

Edwards has terrible mound presence. Get a guy on and anything can happen.

 

[JohntheBaptist]

The Indians have got to be thinking that Carl Edwards Jr is not standing between them and actually finishing off that incredible come back. That's what I'd be thinking.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Why only Edwards up in the pen?! Seems way too narrow with the stakes.

This.

 

[santadevil]

Edward's Jr. to finish the it?
What the fuck?

 

[McBride11]

Sure, but they explained why the did it. The players deserved a dry (as possible) playing surface in game 7.

And to burn the last Cleve star reliever. I think he muttered under his breath.

 

[ifmanis5]

Nap is way over due.

 

[Remagellan]

Twins Braves wins

That was a crisply played masterpiece. The game this resembles is the Freese game in 2011, although that was a better game, unless the Indians somehow come back and win this.

 

[Madmartigan]

Failing to tack on may prove costly

 

[bob burda]

Not over - Cubs are going to struggle to close this.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Bauer should have started the inning.

 

[Ale Xander]

Anyone think Tito retires after this?

 

[Curll]

 

[Average Reds]

Because the team MLB wants to win was on the ropes.

I agree that it was a mistake, but please tell me that you don't really believe this.

 

[MikeM]

Come back here and this has my vote as best game ever.

 

[Madmartigan]

I'd let Lackey close it out

 

[Fred in Lynn]

CNN is now airing a panel discussion about the Hirschbeck rain delay decision. Corey Levandowski approves.

 

[BigSoxFan]

So...who's the World Series MVP for the Cubs? I'll go with Zobrist.

 

[Nator]

This is one of the best baseball games ever.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Or Jack Morris.

Joe Carter walkoff was up there.
