Glad we didn’t take another center cut fastball but unfortunately Taveras isn’t having a good series at the plate. 

Series, playoffs, last 3 months... 

[dcar00 14035]

Leody ugh.  Can Jankowski play center?

[Firemans4Horn 17830]

We’ve had enough mistake pitches by Gallen to get on base at this point.

Sure but let's not act like he isn't throwing a WS gem. 

[dcar00 14035]

shit Marcus.  that was it.

Gotta do more here:

I like him in the 6th versus their bottom of order and frankly think we need him.

He’s the absolute worst

This sucks.

[Vic Mackey 46936]

Fuck

[dcar00 14035]

just awful.

[Pato del Muerto 52342]

Had 3 loud outs so far, and none of the seeing eye stuff that they seem to have 4-5 of every game.   

[SpiralOut 1809]

This kid looks like he's ready to pitch the full 9.  Not good.  

[C-Man 27053]

Leody ugh.  Can Jankowski play center?

Carter can

[ztejas 43266]

This is a game we miss Adolis. He would have sent one to Wyoming on this dude by now.

Last time he’ll probably pitch this year, get everything you can out of him

He's got 72 pitches and if this stays tight they will bring in the closer just on pitch count but yea...he's been very efficient

[dcar00 14035]

the decision was probably, can he give us an inning in a 7th game if we pull him now?  If not let him go.

[shadow_operative2.0 15831]

Jank would play CF long before Evan, but not worth arguing about.

He could Madison Baumgardner that shit 3 nights from now...Nate seems like the same kind of bulldog.

If he's still got a no-no do you still pull him?  I assume yes because the win is more important.  Would still suck, especially when our guys can't fucking touch him.

If it's still 0-0, 1-0 or probably even 2-0 yea you pull him.  Losing a WS chasing a no hitter would be peak idiocy.

damn it would be nice to get a hit.

[gsoda3 3236]

Who bats after perdomo?

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Nate's best inning.

Hey bats...something...anything?

[C-Man 27053]

Nope

[Fudbelty 2785]

NATE!!!!!!

oh I'm not saying he wouldn't ask for the ball.  

[Vic Mackey 46936]

Come the fuck on bats. Quit wasting Nate out there battling

[TwiceHorn 31275]

Well, that was a nice inning.

[ztejas 43266]

Eovaldi has quietly been pretty fucking unreal tonight. 

Or amazingly lucky. Maybe a little of both. 

Edited November 2, 2023 by ztejas

[Surly Bevo 24696]

LOL, Nate's best inning was his last one.

C'mon bats, you can't fail that kind of gutsy performance

[SpiralOut 1809]

Great job, Nate.  You didn't have your best shit tonight but you battled like a fucking champ.  

Let's go gets some hits, boys.

[Billy Pilgrim 1913]

Come on boys, reward Nate.

For Bochy and Evo?  Seriously doubt that ever crossed his mind. Boch is thinking of this game only. He can likely give us several innings on 3 days’ rest in the last game of the year. 85 or 97 pitches don’t make a difference. I wouldn’t mind bringing in Nate for the 7th. He hasn’t lost any effectiveness and in fact he’s getting stronger.

We do

[Redneck Mutha 7935]

Wait, what the fuck was that?  No RISP for the, is that allowed?

Nate muthafuckin Eovaldi!!!

[chemHORN 1239]

Nate gets the strikeout.  Crickets from Smoltz.  

[Ghost of LL 15492]

Nate looks like he could go three more innings.

I mean, it’s WS Game 5–fuck the pitch count.

[Sgt Hulk 13647]

Can we fucking do something now 

[C-Man 27053]

Nate's best inning.
Hey bats...something...anything?

Just takes one swing to pucker every butthole in Maricopa County.

Let’s do it!

Carter would start in CF and Jank would play left. But this is a stupid convo because Leody isn’t going anywhere. 

[Pato del Muerto 52342]

In a different era, Nate is for sure going back out there. 
 

his misses have been out of the zone, and hasn’t had them when it really counted.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Let's go hang a big crooked number

[Herbie Hancock 7306]

If he wants to go let him come back out next inning.

[Redneck Mutha 7935]

Gallen's a fucking hack, let's go bust this bitch up.

[crum 524]

pro hitter

[gofuckyourself 8122]

Corey mashes a single!
