Smith on. Martinez off:

 

As long as Smith only pitches the Martinez innings I'm good with it

Yes, but living on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Dusty does everytime Harper or Schwarber are due up in the 6th or 7th is not how I want to live the World Series.

[Guadaloopy 10926]

Man just think of the storyline of Will Smith finally heading back home to Philly.

Just saw the stat we are 3-9 in home WS games.  Let's start fixing that tonight.

2005 and 2019 were rough on that W-L record.

Maybe up 17-1.

Or maybe have that 7-1 reversed. Down 6 with Marsh batting 9th ahead of Schwarber. that’s the only time I can see using him with the 3 batter minimum.  
him coming in with a 6 run lead having to face 3 batters isn’t a big enough cushion.

[runthebone 7932]

Even down 6, I wouldn't put in Smith.  We can come back from 6.

[kingkoopa6 8318]

From game 1 till now. Good luck gents

He can probably pull it off. His parents went out of town on a week’s vacation.

[tx 3 putt 76403]

I’m not worried about smith at all. He’ll be fine

Oz is a much bigger loss than Click ever would be

2021: 1-2

One of these things is not like the other ones one of these things does not belong.

I don't think he'll be back.  Winning a WS or not this year, it seems Crane is willing to open the wallet when it's appropriate and Click doesn't want to (between what you posted and the trade deadline rumors that Crane wanted a big splash and Click wasn't aggressive enough/wouldn't commit the money that Crane was willing to pay)

If your boss says “We got the money, go and spend it.”, then why the fuck wouldn’t you?  Does Click enjoy tying his hands behind his back for no reason?

Nice!  I told the boys last night that they will have to wake up at 5am Saturday. 

To hop on a plane for Game 2, their first time at MMP.

If we lose Game 2, I’m blaming your kids.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Game 1 tickets secured. I'm taking my mom. My grandfather used to take her to the Astrodome site when it was being constructed. She's been a lifelong fan. She used to tell me that she was listening to the game while in labor with me, and Cesar Cedeno hit a grand slam. I thought she was kidding for the longest time, but I looked up the game on Baseball Reference, and sure enough, Cedeno hit one out off of Jim Kaat in the 5th. This will be her first World Series game. I can't wait.

Analytics guys said they’d suck with their age. They gave zero consideration to the clubhouse. I’m guessing he had other ideas on how to spend. Whoops.

Altuve for MVP. 

[Guadaloopy 10926]

The craziest thing is that 6 (maybe 7) of the 9 in the lineup could go off and win MVP and it wouldn't be a shock.

I think anyone in the top 5. I would be surprised but happy if Gurriel, Mancini, or Chas won it.
