Ehhh. 2/3 of them played in the dead ball era against whites only and the others had less IP. Cain and Rogers I’ll grant but I think if Cole has another game like this he tops the list. Plus he won an elimination game (not sure who else on the list has).
I’ll never forget Waite Hoyt shutting down a guy who looked like my dad, who is age 75.
That 1988 season for him was insane. I was at game 2 in the series. 6-0 shutout. He also had three hits.
I have to think that comes down to closer to gametime. I was looking at SRO tickets before the game last night, and they were around $100. Cheapest SRO for WS games 3 and 4 is currently $828. 8x jump seems a bit much, but, as DC has never experienced before and people have been waiting for this for years, I could be wrong.Cheapest WS ticket in Washington on stub hub is almost a grand
I hope to go to the Saturday game if the Astros can win. I’ve never been. Only been to one playoff game ever.
I can't imagine going to a playoff game in the opposing teams stadium. If your team loses, you'll be ridiculed relentlessly. And if they win, I'd be afraid of angry drunks looking to exact some revenge. Lose-lose.
Tonight's game has a good chance of being rained out - heavy rains expected in the NY region this afternoon/tonight.
In 2014 I paid $650 for an upper deck ticket to Game 6 for the Royals. We hadn't been to one in 30 years, so I was happy to pay it.
There are so many people from different areas that come to work in DC. I bet you see a decent amount of Astros fans there. The only place I’d be afraid is New York. I heard they were throwing stuff on the field yesterday and there were fights in the stands.
There are always the random fans that will do something, but I think Nats' fans are generally pretty respectful, given the transient nature of the town, as long as not obnoxious about it. Only visiting fans that would probably have issues are Phillies fans, but that is because they try to start stuff and are ********.
I'm not lumping everyone in, by any means. And for a regular season game, no issues. But in a playoff game, lots of drunk die hard fans. Emotions are running high. I'm just saying, I'd never go to an opposing team's ballpark for a postseason game.
I'm not sure a human, in realtime, could process all that and do what you suggest. The third baseman is concentrating solely on the rundown and DJ with the ball. He can't really be looking around to see where Altuve is. Plus, if he takes that chance and doesn't get him, Altuve is at third and the runner scores. He made the right play. Initially I thought DJ maybe could have handled it differently but on the one replay I saw I think it just worked out perfectly for the Stros. It was a risk, could have been an easy 2 outs but Springer had confidence he could prolong the play long enough and he did.
Supposed to be an announcement at noon according to WFAN.
There's always a chance that it doesn't rain as bad or there's a dry slot, but with a nor'easter, we're talking a good soaking rain for hours. I saw that most models are projecting 2+ inches of rain for the NYC area. I just can't see MLB trying to play through this. I expect this game to be cancelled.Supposed to be an announcement at noon according to WFAN.
They also had a discussion earlier and everyone agreed that yesterday’s game was not epic.
Yeah, if this was December, it would be a blizzard. Just came in a little too early. But this is the type of setup that will drop feet of snow over the mid Atlantic and New England. The low bombs out off the coast and just intensifies to a huge storm.That storm is massive.
They should have started the game at 10 this morning.Was there ever a doubt when I said it would be rained out two days ago?

How Dave Dombrowski continues to find jobs is amazing to me. He destroyed the Tigers and they aren't even remotely close to anything approximating a rebuild.I read somewhere that if the Astros play the Nats in the World Series, we can't say who will win but we know who the loser will be: The Detroit Tigers
