Fadingpain Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 And we move into the 11th! That HR by Puig was a blast. He's fluffin unreal. I thought Houston would pull Giles a couple batters earlier. I have no horse in this race, btw, just enjoying some great baseball. Same here. I really don't care who wins; just enjoying extra innings in a W.S. game.

SinceThe70s Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 At this point, whose bullpen is worse? I'm guessing the Astros based on the closer and the next guy almost nutting the 2B umpire on a pickoff.

It's interesting when you get into one of these long games because you see relievers who would normally never get into a close playoff game.

Fadingpain Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Dodger bullpen now officially out of pitchers. Sharply hit ball! But out 1.
Augie Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Shame me if you must, but baseball is too boring to be much more than background music until the playoffs. NOW it’s interesting!
KD in CA Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Dodger bullpen now officially out of pitchers. I really like Dave Roberts, but that's over-managing your bullpen.
Fadingpain Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 another crushed ball....for out 2. Holy ****! HR!
SinceThe70s Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I really like Dave Roberts, but that's over-managing your bullpen. You'd expect that from Joe Torre in an All Star game. Ironically I was explaining that debacle to my boys a few hours ago.
Fadingpain Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Seemed like he broke his wrists on that one. Game should maybe be over... I think Puig got the pitch he wanted there and just missed.... There it is. 7-6 Astros in 11 innings. 4H 19 M game. Fun!

KD in CA Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 I think the Astros caught a similar break earlier, but yes thats a strike regular season Yup....ump just didn't want to punch him out to end the game. Great game. Hope this goes 7!
Augie Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Yup....ump just didn't want to punch him out to end the game. Great game. Hope this goes 7! Ya Boy!
CDogg20 Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 That was a hell of a game. Hope the whole series carries that kind of energy
Gugny Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Wow! I effing went to bed after the 7th. Looks like I missed a good one, dammit! About time the Astros scored some runs!!
Greybeard Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 It's interesting when you get into one of these long games because you see relievers who would normally never get into a close playoff game. The Dodger bullpen that didn't give up a run consisted of Maeda, Morrow and Jansen. Once they go past that it is pot luck, McCarthy being the worst. I still can't understand how Jansen can be so effective. His ball must move most of the time but he is subject to home runs, although it appears even all the best pitchers are this year. The next game should be very interesting. I view it as the key to the series for the Dodgers. Does Darvish hold the advantage because he seen the Astro's or do the Astro batters. Darvish also has an issue with homers. He is likely to pitch a 3 hitter, all home runs. I have a lot of 1 AM nights invested in the Dodgers. Much harder to do this year without Vince.
IDBillzFan Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 As one who only watches baseball during the WS so I can talk to clients, I have a question for baseball fans: we hear about analytics in football, but the Dodgers seem to take it to a different level. Last night we saw what happened when their plan doesn't work. If I'm a Dodgers fan, I'm pissed they pulled Hill. Do you want your team doing this stuff? Did analytics get the Dodgers to the WS? Just curious.
