IWST 2019: WSH vs HOU — Two TONs o’ Fun

[bmfc1]

Of course. I just like seeing Torre called out for anything. (Selig decided, from the stands, that an ASG would end in a tie, but that's only the ASG.)

Buck kept saying that it was not a reviewable call, right? Maybe they should have a former umpire on-call the way they do with the NFL.

You know, that orange double-bag isn't a *terrible* idea.

The most annoying thing about watching a World Series - any World Series: Do the announcers ever talk about players' season stats? Or at least show them? Because obviously, whatever a player did in his last three games is much more meaningful than what he did over the first 162 games.

[Lefty Specialist]

I have to say, as much as Buck sucks, John Smoltz is okay as a color man. Doesn't talk too much and has decent insight when he does. He's no Ronny, but who is?

[Frayed Knot]

I think Smoltz is quite good.

And though he's not particularly a favorite, the level of Buck-hatred, around here and elsewhere, escapes me.

[Edgy MD]

Is Greinke-Scherzer the best Game 7 matchup since 2001?

[LWFS]

Gotta be, right? Right up there with that and Tudor-Sabes and... let's see... Koufax-Kaat.



Ain't there a rule about wearing the same jerseys at home and away? There oughta be-- this color-war business, ma-RON.

[Edgy MD]

Astros strike first!!

Neither side's radio crew expends an iota of emotion on calling opposition home runs. They're just long fly balls that go uncaught.

[Frayed Knot]

HP ump Jim Wolf (brother of ex-hurler Randy) has some big-ass arms on him.

He's also had a better strike zone (so far anyway) than the last several HP umps.

[LWFS]

Joe Morgan Honorary Obvious Color Observation: the Astros will rue not hanging crooked numbers on Scherzer in these first few innings... he's giving them every opportunity to do so.

Good non-turnover

[Fman99]

It's Game 7 and I'm going to bed. I just don't care. Plus I'm a tired old man.

[LWFS]

I haven't seen Greinke look like this in, like, 4 years/3 teams

[Guest 41Forever]

Still time, but the Nats are starting to have a look of defeat about them.

As pissed off as some were about how the interference call at 1st base last night violated the 'spirit of the rule' even if it was technically the right call ... that's how pissed I would have been if they had overturned

the call at 3rd tonight.

Greinke did all that without any more than 90 on his fastball?

[LWFS]

OH boy

The Nats have come from behind in like four different elimination games this month, including by getting late inning runs off of guys like Hader & Kershaw & Jansen







oe: and on cue Rendon cuts the lead in half

Rendon and Kendrick decided to make this a game.

If the Astros fire Hinch after the way he managed this game, Brodie should tell his friend no. I'd rather have a novice manage the Mets than this dope.



This was the key inning to get through and then he had Osuna and Cole but no, he had to show that he was in control and do something.

[LWFS]

Why exactly did they pull Greinke, again? A HR to the other team's best hitter, and a pitcharound walk to the second-best?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

This game needs some Bazooka Joe Smith

[Frayed Knot]

So between last night and tonight, Will Harris's last 8 pitches have resulted in 2 HRs (Rendon on Tues, Kendrick tonight) plus Asdrubal's single.
