ShortstopVM Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thankfully, I won't have to openly root for the ***** against the yanks lol I'm gonna need Brandon Lowe to step it up, though: All these Rays were hitting HRs all series, and he wasn't one of them.

sneaky Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I dont hate the Astros but it would be perfect 2022 for the team that is hated to win the pennant and come back from down 3-0:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The Astros were supposed to be booed and bean-balled all summer. As a Blue Jays fan, I hate the Rays. I'll hate them even more if they lose this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortstopVM Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) lol I just realized that this World Series will be contested by two cities whose teams have just won the Stanley Cup (Tampa Bay) and the NBA Championship (Los Angeles)...

ShortstopVM Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) That was one of the wildest finishes to a Baseball game - let alone a World Series game - that I have ever seen! I thought that the Rays had that game won when Chris Taylor first bobbled that ball... I did not account for Randy Arozarena getting caught in a run-down nor did I expect Will Smith to drop that relay throw... I'm pretty sure that play epitomized the chaos that is the year 2020...

ShortstopVM Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Re: Manuel Margot's attempted steal of home, I don't think it was the boneheaded play that some armchair managers made it out to be. It seemed like Margot knew what he was doing and tried to take advantage of Kershaw's wind-up... The only "problem" was that Muncy spotted Margot going, and Kershaw executed the throw perfectly. A less poised pitcher would've either: a) Balked, b) Thrown the ball away, or c) Panicked for a moment, only to throw to home plate very late.

ShortstopVM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Seventy-three pitches through 5.1 innings? Yeah, Snell got pulled from the game way too early. And miss me with the "hindsight is 20/20" ; seventy-three pitches in his last start of the season - when he is pitching a shutout - is way too low of a pitch count to pull him from the game. #AnalyticsIsRuiningTheGame Edited October 28, 2020 by ShortstopVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaky Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 We honestly didn't deserve to win this series. Tbh w/o a fluke collapse in game 4 this series would be over. I hate the Dodgers but they are a much better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 THIS is the take right here. We're letting analytics dominate the game too much nowadays... At least the Astros - cheating scandal aside - figured out how to balance analytics with real-life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortstopVM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Remember when 100 pitches used to be the "indicator" to pull the pitcher? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Also, did anyone see that vertical and horizontal pitch break indicator just now? A proper use of that, IMO, would be for a manager/pitching coach to determine whether the breaking pitches are flattening out - because that would mean the pitcher might be getting tired. At least we know that many pitching coaches use those numbers... But that still isn't the be-all-end-all - the manager/pitching coach should still ask the pitcher how they're feeling.

ShortstopVM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Congratulations to the Dodgers on winning the World Series! It's been a helluva fortnight for the City of Angels - first the NBA Title, and now this. Remember when some fans freaked out over the possibility that this season would be cancelled and Mookie Betts leave the Dodgers without ever playing an inning for them? Clayton Kershaw finally gets his Ring. My celebrity crush, Alyssa Milano, gets to see her team win again.
