Harold is an authority on genius

I wish he'd fondle another intern. 

 

[simsarge]

How does the announcer know what the 1st base coach is telling the runner?

Met him before 2002 WS Game 7

That doesn't seem to matter anymore

 

[thayman]

WTF was that Danny?!?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Why not double-switch out Espinosa?  Why?  Because Espinosa is older than Rendon, so in Dusty's mind he's better. 

Awful. Trea Turner should be playing SS, Espinosa should be on the ####### bench.

I love Danny as a defensive switch but he's such an offensive liability.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I deserve to go to an NLCS game/s.  Come on! 

 

[whoknew]

The astounding regularity with which Major Leaguers are unable to put down a bunt is so irritating.

Also - managers should stop giving up outs by ####### bunting. I mean, Dusty just called a sacrifice bunt in front of Pedro Freakin' Severino.

 

[dgreen]

8th inning and we send Drew, Espinosa, Severino, and Taylor to the plate. 

 

[dickey moe]

I feel sorry for you poor saps out east.

Espinosa is pretty good bunter too.....he's almost as good as bunting as he is at striking out in big spots.

 

[Eephus]

Michael Taylor seems to start all ABs with an 0-1 count

Exactly

I'm still on vacation, give me 15 innings please.

Got lucky and have the day of tomarrow....errr today

Don't worry, Harold wants you to lead off with Taylor in the 9th too.

 

[thayman]

It's because he sucks.

 

[The General]

Who do I pay to see Puig in at catcher?

 

[dgreen]

Me to my grandkids: "I remember when the Dodgers pitcher got a 9 out save against us."

 

[Eephus]

For those of you non-baseball fans who've stumbled into the FFA thread by mistake, the Nationals last inning was a textbook example of "replacement level"

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Michael Taylor seems to start all ABs with an 0-1 count

He's got a loooong swing. 

 

[thayman]

Me to my grandkids: "I remember when the Dodgers pitcher got a 9 out save against us."

And the Nats still won't have won a damn playoff series.

 

[Eephus]

Me to my grandkids: "I remember when the Dodgers pitcher got a 9 out save against us."

By then, relievers will throw one pitch outings.  But they'll throw 130 mph.

 

[Northern Voice]

Kershaw warming up  

 

[Eephus]

Met him before 2002 WS Game 7

why'd ya have to go and bring that up

 

[The General]

Kershaw warming up

 

[RUSF18]

What the hell was that about?

Anytime you can start an inning with an out in front of the top of your lineup, you gotta do it.

 

[Zegras11]

Kershaw...  awesome

 

[Eephus]

Showalter would have Britton ready in reserve

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This game has a ton of unintentional humor and max drama. 

 

[Northern Voice]

I'm still on vacation, give me 15 innings please. 

I have Friday conference calls every week. As long as I can dial in at 9 AM, then hit mute and go back to sleep, I'm good.

 

[Eephus]

post-season has been great so far

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Showalter would have Britton ready in reserve

Seems like a post just to garner FFA likes.

For shame, sir.  Baseball Forum likes hard to come by. 

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Kershaw warming up

####em.. Harper is going to tie this up..

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Top of the order.

LET'S GO NATS!

FYP

 

[Northern Voice]

Turner/Harper/Werth/Murphy coming up vs. Jansen/Kershaw??? Baseball is awesome

 

[The General]

Lets get this started Turner.

 

[thayman]

Top of the order.

LET'S GO NATS! 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Turner single, Harper walkoff. 

Do it. 

 

[Zegras11]

why'd ya have to go and bring that up

OK, I'll tell you a story you might like....

Game 3 in SF.  (SIL lives 15 minute walk from PacBell)  I'm sitting in first row of upper deck behind home plate. After 3 innings of getting heckled endlessly for wearing a Troy Glaus jersey, I stand up, turn around a yell, "I hate the Dodgers too!"   Instant attitude reversal.

 

[thayman]

I need bourbon

 

[Northern Voice]

Oh god, the words "He's up, he's gotta come in" from Reynolds' mouth just brought back so many memories of Price coming out of the bullpen for the Jays last year in the playoffs.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Lets go... Bryce 

. 

 

[Eephus]

HUUUUGE out

 

[Zegras11]

[Sconch]

[Northern Voice]
