WS GAME thread: NYM vs. KC

[kieckeredinthehead]

How did that stay fair?

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

Is Collins taking a potty break?

 

[Harry Hooper]

What a meatball from Clippard to start the inning.

 

[Al Zarilla]

They're gonna show the Buckner play now. Brace for impact.

That thing is buried under three world series wins in my book.

SOMEONE FAKE AN INJURY AND GET FAMILIA UP

 

[Gdiguy]

Cuddyer is clearly on the Mets roster for those Mets fans too young to remember a 40 something Willie Mays embarrassing himself in the 1973 World Series.  

 
I can't imagine how Uribe is healthy enough to be on the WS roster, but not healthy enough to be a better hitter than Cuddyer at this point.

 

[bankshot1]

so is Famila up?

 

[DJnVa]

Reynolds: "Fortunately, he (Granderson) got back up."
 
Well, no shit Harold. Did you think he'd just lay there?

 

[ifmanis5]

Don't bunt. Don't bunt at crap.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Why bunt?

 

[PseuFighter]

seems like marlin man legit can't see when directly in line between catcher and pitcher. that's a shame.
 
also, fucking clippard.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Nice one Yost

 

[Remagellan]

Should have had Familia start this inning.   Get through the meat of the order, and if he can't do six outs, bring in someone else to close.  

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That thing is buried under three world series wins in my book.

 
Yup.  They can show that ancient history all they want.  Its coated with awesomesauce since '04, '07 and '13.

 

[mauidano]

Big confidence boost there with the K.

 

[ifmanis5]

So then swing at crap. Great AB.

QFT

 

[Murderer's Crow]

What a shitty swing.

 

[rembrat]

Lorenzo Cain hit .307/.361/.477 during the season and he's trying to bunt in this situation. This is why the Royals can never win a World Series. This kind of play can not garner traction.

 

[gingerbreadmann]

Pitiful at-bat there. Cain outsmarted himself.

 

[DJnVa]

Nice job Yost. Give away 2 strikes bunting then Cain chases.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Reynolds: "Fortunately, he (Granderson) got back up."
 
Well, no shit Harold. Did you think he'd just lay there?

 
 
Look up the Claudell Washington play sometime.

 

[glasspusher]

Does Yost get a pass on the bunt idea because Yost?

 

[yecul]

Cain clearly didn't take himself I'm fan duel.

 

[glasspusher]

Redemption, Eric...

 

[Al Zarilla]

Jesus, all you need is a single Hosmer.

 

[PseuFighter]

hey you guys!
 
 

 
  :astonished:    :astonished: 

 

[Remagellan]

Huge K.  Bring in Familia.  

 

[DJnVa]

Okay. There's one.
 
I believe every other OFer would, you know, get up.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Cain clearly didn't take himself I'm fan duel.

Spellcheck?

 

[Gdiguy]

This has got to be 'game 1' Collins managing... Familia was clearly starting to tire a bit by the end of the Cubs series (FB was down a few mph), but I'm still surprised he's not in at this point
 
*edit
 
Or, they can just figure out the plan - get the Royals to swing at high unhittable fastballs

 

[PseuFighter]

my sister just text'd me "corporate cain" and it took a minute.

 

[rembrat]

It's like when Madison Bumgarner just went high, higher, and highest when he got the Royals to 2 strikes.

 

[rembrat]

my sister just text'd me "corporate cain" and it took a minute.

 
Is she single?

 

[mauidano]

Royals fans feeling like this is their best shot.

Collins has to just out manage Yost.  Wrap your head around that one for a while.

 

[PseuFighter]

 
Is she single?

 
you sicko.

 

[Murderer's Crow]

These were 3 of the most anxious at-bats in a row I've seen in awhile.

 

[Leather]

Whoops

 

[mauidano]

Dude. C'mon.

 

[glasspusher]

oh my...

 

[DJnVa]

See!!! That's why you bunt!!! Cuz a pitcher may throw one over the catcher!!

 

[mauidano]

Familia.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Don't get too Familia.  See you later Matthew Lillard!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Are you Familia with this Moose?

 

[BornToRun]

Props to Clippard for sacking up and getting the next two guys after Zobrist.

 

[strek1]

Clippard.  Wow.  Collins is lucky it was only a walk. .

 

[kieckeredinthehead]

 See you later Matthew Lillard!

THANK YOU. That's been bugging me all inning.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Dyson running for Morales

 

[Remagellan]

Don't get too Familia.  See you later Matthew Lillard!

 
That is a good call!
