One of my best friends was a Phillies fan.  I still remember how happy he was in 2008, and how envious I was.  He died in 2011 at age 39 from glioblastoma (fuck cancer).  His wife gave me one of his P

He was checked every fucking inning.  It was nothing, and you are an idiot since you are citing "Baseball Social Media."  Had it have been a real thing, MLB would have told everyone.  He used i

So if 4 of us fuck your mother, is she still fucked, or does it only count if it's 1 of us the whole time?

If judge walks this is easily the shittiest baseball season of all time.

I may have erred when I stated that the definition of "helobious" is "swamp creature".  I am now convinced that the definition is "the detritus at the bottom of the swamp i.e., fish, frog and gator droppings, etc. "

I hate and love the playoffs.  It’s a stressful fucking month.

I think it's the most grueling postseason for die-hard fans, even though it's the shortest.  There's so much pressure on every pitch, the games are 3.5 to 4 hours long, and you're playing two or three nights in a row, so it becomes your life.

That's part of what makes this feeling right here what it is.  Losing a World Series is agony and winning one is like nothing else.

Why the fuck would their 2nd best hitter bunt with two strikes, 2 outs, down 3 runs? 

That looked like a white flag being waved.

 

Nothing against them but the Phillies didn’t seem to be the types that could easily come back late in a game. Unless one swing could do it. They didn’t have any faith in each other to sustain a rally. I think the no-hitter impacted them more than they could admit.

I posted it in the DS thread, but I saw a quote that said watching your favorite team in the baseball playoffs is like watching a loved one  trying to defuse a bomb for 4 hours.

It must be worse when you know with a metaphysical certainty that the bomb is going to blow up and kill them.

Congrats to Houston. They had an insanely deep pitching staff.

You can say that again.

 

Quote

 

The Astros’ bullpen was the best in baseball during the regular season. In the postseason, en route to winning a World Series title with a 4-1 victory over the Phillies on Saturday, calling Houston’s relievers dominant seems like a gross understatement.

 

Among 94 teams that saw their bullpens log 35 or more innings in a single postseason, the Astros accomplished all of this:

• The lowest ERA: 0.83, with just five earned runs over 54 1/3 innings
• The lowest opponents’ batting average: .126
• The lowest opponents’ on-base percentage: .215
• The lowest opponents’ slugging percentage: .208
• The lowest WHIP: 0.75

 

Houston's bullpen is also the first to throw at least 40 innings in a single postseason and post a sub-1.00 ERA.

Game 5 was the most stressful game I’ve watched since I can’t remember when. Amazing how high your heart rate can get just sitting and watching a game. It just ratcheted up with each pitch.

My wife of 7 years said during Game 5 "this must be a stressful game, I've never seen you this fidgety."

That includes the many, many Longhorn game over those years where we have the lead and lose in 4th quarter.

They didn't quit, Alvarez's bomb crushed their spirits. It was genuinely almost exactly like Pujols's soulcrusher except they didn't have a series lead and a day off to recover. 

Also, the Astros bullpen was shoving it so far up their (and everyone else’s) ass they couldn’t deal with it nor conceive of scoring 4 runs on that pen.

Agreed.  I have watched lots and lots of video....But somehow have missed Schwarber's explanation of his bunt attempt.  To me, only explanation is having soul crushed so much you don't know what to do.

Anyone know how he answered?
