Rich Hill wandering around the IF when Gurriel stepped in was very solid passive-aggression.

Darvish won't plunk him tonight, but if he did, I'd like to see the shitshow if Darvish got tossed.

Maybe he'd just get ejected after his 27th pitch of his first start in 2018. Don't want to punish the other 24.

That's where I was trying to get to. If they did toss him, it'd effectively be a suspension, which Gurriel didn't get. Hopefully someone at MLB has had this discussion with the umpires.

I saw where you were trying to get and sarcastically concurred.

The moment a little too big for bellinger?

I understand where Utley was playing but good grief, no way should he have been playing that

the slo-mo replay also showed it wasn't *that* close, either. he could have set his feet more

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:36 pm

And he wasn't really throwing to a moving target. Throw he ball to first!

I'd have a better chance of seeing the end of this game if I lived in England.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:51 pm

I wonder how many guys you would have to hit in a World Series game 7 before it starts to get weird.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:59 pm

the goal has to be to nurse Darvish through this inning and then hit for him, right?

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:01 pm

holy shit there is nobody working in the pen?

Well, Springer just locked up World Series MVP, which makes the famous 2014 Sports Illustrated cover look even better.

Dave Roberts just completely stopped managing there.

how he didn't have a second reliever warming up if he was going to do that is insanity

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:17 pm

surely an actual hitter will come up instead of Morrow, right?

Brontoburglar · Post by **Brontoburglar** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:18 pm

he can't let Morrow hit here, can he

This made it onto the Best Fans STL Twitter account a few months back:

this is not far from Girardi not challenging in the ALDS on the "what are you doing?" spectrum

At some point a manager is going to have his/a long man going from the start of a Game 7 so there’s no stalling on a move.

Not striking out an AL pitcher is about as red a red flag as you can have. With the pitcher's spot coming up, absolutely no excuse to let him go any further than that.

And my bias is such that I even thought batting McCullers was a little crazy there, but at least he had a pulse when on the mound.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:35 pm

So I'm saying at 4 it's weird.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:38 pm

Did someone prank Bellinger and tell him he can only pull the ball?

What happens when a guy without great command to begin with gets nervous and amped up?

I just bet Dodgers +4.5 in-game for $200 and given the way this series has gone I don’t see how I can lose.

Post by **brian** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 8:52 pm

Still rooting for Houston to win by between 1 and 4 though.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 9:53 pm

Dodgers have been getting people on but they gotta cash in at some point.

Unless he someday signs, it’ll never not be crazy that Bryant should be an Astro.

Is this an MLB draft thought? Cause that's too deep. Of course this is coming from the guy who didn't know Bergman was a stud at draft time.

Congratulations guys! Enjoy the parade.

It always gets me, in any sport, how completely irrelevant the rest of the teams seem once it's all over. Like, hey remember the Indians?!? They were pretty good a few months ago, I think?
