Wtf is Marlins Man doing playing with a stuffed animal

He’s a douchebag doing douchebag things. Tired of his shit.

30 years ago today.  Goosebumps every time I watch it.  Worth watching the whole thing, and listening to Vinny marvel at the fact that Gibby has 2 bad limbs and can't favor either.

Best moment in baseball history in my lifetime.

There are two sporting events I just remember vividly after all these years -- Gibson taking Eck deep, and USA 4 USSR 3.

These will work

[Sbbruin 21864]

MVP on deck

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Not even trying to spin the humble on that brag.  Nor should you.  Well done. Sir.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

Machado defjnitely reaches on that one. Should be double play.  

[henrygandorf 29194]

without knowing the exact letter of the law (having to attempt a throw), that's some bush league bullshit x2 by machado.  although not super surprising.  if you're grabbing legs, i don't give a shit where your slide is going.

[Guadaloopy 10981]

First one didn’t seem bad.  Looked incidental.  Second was illegal slide, no doubt.  

[henrygandorf 29194]

1st one looked way worse after i saw the 2nd.

[WBT 20635]

jam shot ground rule double with a 74 mph exit velocity - better get the bullpen up

[WBT 20635]

Is Harry Potter on the organ new or have I just never noticed it before?

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Not rooting for Dodgers, but Ump bailed out Chacin there.

[WBT 20635]

Bellinger looked like a first baseman tracking that one back

[spystud13 2371]

The rare 2-E play. And no it doesn’t, you fucking idiot, Buck. 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy shit, they really did give Turner a hit on that GB directly at Moose. That is fucking horseshit, should be an E to reach 1B & an E on the throw for 2nd. 

[spystud13 2371]

Holy shit, the vaunted Kratz/Arcia duo strikes again! 

[Scraps 13567]

Take it Dodgers

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Arcia having a good post season.

Damn, the edit function around here fucking sucks. Apparently they scored it a 2-base E on the throw only, just neglected that he kicked it first. 

[Simon Honeybone 113]

Barnes starts Dodgers win

Grandal starts Dodgers lose

[Beau Vine 54292]

Isn't that the second time Yelich's baserunning has screwed Braun out of a hit in the last week?  Or am I just having deja vu?

[TonyTexas 10518]

Braun is kind of a dick. That’s the 2nd time this series he has shown exasperation with Yelich’s baserunning. Both times there was little Yelich could do.

Even with the kick, I think the throw would have had him if it had been on target.

I know it happened in the Rockies series

[Fozzz 152]

Using Hader when you have a 98% win probability. Lol.

Wonder if Buck has realized Turner’s postseason OBP didn’t go up yet?

If they're going to refuse to use him 2 days in a row, they were only going to use him in one of Game 4 or Game 5 anyway.  The downside is now you can't use him tomorrow if you need him.  He's locked into Game 5 now I guess.

[NowThis 931]

i've hated the Dodgers for 40 years 

[Monster 219]

Smoltz seems bothered that the Brewers don't rely on ace starters.  

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Holy shit I don't need Buck questioning bullpen management for 15-20 minutes. Discuss the game in progress goddammit.

[Monster 219]

Counsell is baffling Smoltz with the unconventional way he uses his bullpen.  Every game he talks incredulously about the Brewers' starter/reliever situation.  

[WBT 20635]

Pay attention Buck.  It's called a strikeout/throw out double play.

Braun is 100% a dick.   as he proved by all the lying and acting insulted when accused of taking steroids...which was ultimately proven true.   

I'm pulling for the Brewers, since it's been 35 years since they've won a WS, but every time i see Braun, I root a little less.

 

[Simon Honeybone 113]

I actually thought the Dodgers had this series but after Counsell let Chacin pitch more than 5 innings I am decidedly less so. That is despite using Hader in another dumb situation

I don’t know why they would refuse to use him two days in a row unless he pitched multiple innings the first game. Even if he’s not 100% in his second outing, he would still be a valuable weapon.

I understand why they do it, I guess, but I really don't like watching it.  I think Smoltz feels the same way.

I don't think it's the best way to build a team even given their financial limits but they're about to be up 2-1 in the LCS so what do I know.

They lost to the Cardinals bruh

Jeffress huh? So you're sayin theres a chance

That's what they've been saying for quite awhile now, going back to the regular season, but since they didn't send him back out for the 9th, I think he's going to be available tomorrow.

He only faced what...two batters?   Pretty low stress outing, if you ignore the fact it's the 8th inning of the NLDS

[Bodowned 763]

Counsell is a fucking mouthbreather.

Lulz, now Buck's going to start asking why he didn't leave Hader in.

Pretty silly to use him tonight with near zero leverage (0.2 pLI).  Almost guaranteed there will be much higher leverage spots to deploy him both tomorrow and the day after. 

[Firemans4Horn 18117]

Putting in Jeffress is dumb AF
