I bet with a lot of these unfamiliar RPs who throw 97+ and have something that breaks, the hitters are forced to guess.

Fair. But I also think you can’t throw away the idea that some of them are sitting on a pitch and if it isn’t what they see they don’t have confidence to swing. Which sucks because even if you don’t make great contact a ball in play has more outcomes than staring at a strike.

Two straight batter not swinging with two strikes. It’s a thing.

Make it three. I don’t get it.

I think it’s a fair thing to wonder about. MVPs shouldn’t be taking close with two strikes.

It’s fucked up. My wife has noticed too. Now she is actually a good baseball watcher so that isn’t really any indication of out of the ordinary but it’s been the whole postseason. And we have watched a lot of it.

And that betts take was without a doubt in the strike zone. Not even on a corner in any way.

Lol you should also not try to tag up from 3 feet off the base

Yeah I was like no way he legit tagged. It wasn’t billy Hamilton there. That was a clear call. But why didn’t the third base umpire just say so? It wasn’t close.

You know what that Seager home run was? Out of the strike zone.

Who is deciding on the roof open or closed in these games? Seems significant.

Who at Fox is picking the music as they go to commercial breaks? I just heard 'Althea'...

Bellinger hit that so pure I made a weird noise.

Fox picks a lot of Dead and Phish for commercial breaks. I sort of recall seeing an article on the guy on Jambase or something a few years ago.

So Atlanta gets fewer people in bars for the next 7-10 days, and America gets fewer Sun Belt eyeballs on Trump commercials. I wouldn’t exactly call that “losing.” This has been another edition of My Two Cents.

I don't necessarily love Tampa here, but if its +160/-200, I'd be all over them.

I just got them at +170

Mookie Betts in the World Series. Man, it feels like it's been at least two years now.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:21 pm

Roberts better be ready with a quick hook for this old coot.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Oct 20, 2020 8:47 pm

For the most part, this was a bad take. But Dave better have someone ready for the third time around the order.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Oct 20, 2020 9:21 pm

Especially with the thirty minute delay.

So that was a bad take too. But I really think Dave Roberts should not go with Kershaw for Game 2.

Pees something sticky, if you know what I mean.

50 runs scored in the postseason with two outs for dodgers. That’s nuts.

Not a Dodgers fan, but Buehler has been my favorite player to watch in all of MLB over the last few years. This curve to K Arozarena to end the 6th is NSFW.
