A guy on the radio said teams that win game one of these 3 game series are 12-0 to win the series.

Hinch needs to throw analytics and pitch counts out the window and let Skubal finish this game. He is unhittable right now.

No.....be like Dave Roberts and get into your BP early in a series so by game 4 or 5 or 6 the other team has seen them for 4 games in a row and they have pitched 4 out of the last 5 days. That's how you do it.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Huge win for the Tigers, Skubal lights out and Vest played that runner at 3rd perfect.

 

[whoknew]

Wow. That was stressful. GO TIGERS! GO SKUBAL!

 

[Dan Lambskin]

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Mason Miller, whoa.

 

[nirad3]

Mason Miller, whoa.

Padres' pen is insane. I am glad my Cubs are up one otherwise it'd be game over. Need Cubs' pen to hold.

 

[dkp993]

San Diego Pretenders. Cubs are sweeping us.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

The Cubs had a lockdown bullpen.

This is turning into an incredible rivalry between these two teams. Last year's series, the amazing playoff run/falter and this year's series.
Great first game, can't hold down Skubal and it would be a miracle if the Guards continue this out-of-body moviesque run, but if the games go like this then it will be a great series.

Yankee redsox feed is running at like 20 frames per second.

 

[rockaction]

The Red Sox continue to confuse me.

I'm not gloat posting because there is a long, long way to go and it's an undermanned Red Sox club in Yankee stadium, but I told my parents in the 4th that Judge couldn't throw and they ought to test him.

I mean, what exactly is he doing out in right field?

73.2 mph on this throw from Judge on the Sogard double. Arm definitely still an issue. That extra base allows Sogard to score on the Yoshida single.Grisham probably has to call off/cut off Judge here? Healthy Judge nails Sogard at second. Sox tested Judge's arm and it worked.

Because center didn't work out so well?

Carla Tortelli in the stands in full Red Sox gear giving the middle finger salute to the camera.

If Carla ate Rhea Perlman

 

[rockaction]

You know what? I knew Chapman was too nerved up from the first pitch.

Jeebus.

 

[-fish-]

well that was exciting.

 

[shuke]

Ugh

 

[ChiefD]

Reds have no chance

 

[fruity pebbles]

Reds have no chance

Not with Greene pitching HR derby

 

[fred_1_15301]

Damn if this Dodgers team is clicking, I think a repeat is coming.

Snell looks like The Jesus from Big Lebowski

:let’s go Sox:

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, loading them up to get three straight was not good for my health.

The Red Sox had to have that game. I know that anything can happen in the playoffs (the Nationals? Rendon don’t even like ball!) but without a Devers (self-inflicted but necessary) or an Anthony and Casas we have too serious of a talent disparity even compared to the two teams in the AL East to really do anything but enjoy the ride and impassioned ups and downs of the expanded playoffs.

So it’s cool we get at least a Game Three and we will just roll with it as fans.

 

[-fish-]

Hoping for Treinen and Scott in relief so we don't see them in a close game.

Snell looks like The Jesus from Big Lebowski

he looks like the tortilla from Sausage Party

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Dodgers should only use starters. Thought they realized this at the end of the season. How is the bullpen so bad?

Coming up…and it’s getting closer

really hoping for a Yamamoto complete game

This team has been annoying to root for all year.

Plus if they are that worried about his arm and he can't get the ball anywhere but they want him in the field he should be in LF where the weakest armed OF'er is usually located.

Yep. No doubt. Very confusing managerial/front office priorities. He really shouldn’t be out there at all.

The Indians....I mean the guardians need to change that name. That has to be the worst in any of the 4 sports.

 

[General Malaise]

Mason Miller just mowing guys down. Hitting 104 on the gun. Spectacular stuff.

Guessing you have thoughts on the halftime act for the Super Bowl too.....

It does kind of suck. Cleveland Spiders would have been better and had history.

 

[General Malaise]

Tatis is an amazing defensive OF.

Suarez, too.

It isn't just the ridiculous velocity, but the pinpoint location. It's like a nightmare combo of Greg Maddux/Randy Johnson.

Not sure what the even means or has to do with what I said but okay.

 

[fruity pebbles]

Nice catch Duran. My little leaguer makes that catch.

 

[Desert_Power]

Back even fast.

 

[HellToupee]

Nate Eaton in the 98th percentile sprint speed stops at 3rd and Duran misses the fly ball

Royals let Eaton go. We know things.

 

[heckmanm]

Well, it was fun for a minute there

 

[-fish-]

Not over. Roberts loves Treinen and Scott

 

[General Malaise]

Bases loaded, nobody out, down one.

Nothing.

Follow that with 2 errors on weakly hit balls. Ball game.

That will haunt the Reds and their fans for a long long time. :(

well, they didn't actually earn either run they scored, so there's that
