[Ramblin Wreck]

Jesus Christ he brings in Thornton to pitch the inning with Posey and Pence due up. F You Matt Williams

 

[tjnc09]

That was the last pitcher I would have used against Harper. I don't usually question Bochy, but come on. You can't let this series ride on essentially a guy who has the best chance of tying it with one pitch right now

 

[tjnc09]

Giants one for a billion with RISP. Let's go Pence. One time.

 

[ffldrew]

that 3-0 pitch to Pence was there for the taking - and he shouldn't have taking

 

[tjnc09]

that 3-0 pitch to Pence was there for the taking

Yep announcers had it right.

 

[tjnc09]

Wow

 

[Doctor Detroit]

WTF???????

 

[dgreen]

Holy ####. This is a mess.

 

[Mark Davis]

good god

 

[Limp Ditka]

 

[ffldrew]

what is going on here?

 

[hammerva]

Just like they planned it

 

[Limp Ditka]

So much for not throwing all 4 pitches on IWs

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Why would Williams not use Clippard in the 7th? Saving him for Spring training?

 

[Limp Ditka]

If this is overturned.....

 

[Hilts]

 

[dgreen]

Great. Now get him out of there.

 

[ScoobySnack]

No way he can leave Barrett in!

 

[tjnc09]

Posey cant be thinking positive things when he runs toward a collision at home plate

 

[Mark Davis]

I'd like to see a split screen and see Posey's lead off on that play. It felt like it took him a long time to get down the line.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Really hope the Nats can overcome this because I don't want to go to bed knowing I'm going to be deprived of a Yost vs Willams World Series

 

[SIDA!]

The great thing about baseball is that no matter how many games you watch and how many times you think you have seen it all, you see something that just makes your jaw drop. WOW!

 

[dgreen]

How many times is he going to clarify the rules?

 

[The_Man]

I'd like to see a split screen and see Posey's lead off on that play. It felt like it took him a long time to get down the line.

It's an intentional walk. He's not expecting to be breaking for home

 

[tjnc09]

How many times is he going to clarify the rules?

The rule is never clear so it might be a million times

 

[Don Quixote]

Soriano still? WTF?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Span, Werth, LaRoche and Desmond are a combined 7 for 70 in this series. :X

 

[tjnc09]

Giants fail to hit a guy home in scoring position. I'm shocked.

Not thrilled to see Harper guaranteed an AB here in the 9th

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This Budweiser dog commercial pisses me off. I'd threaten to quit drinking their products, but I don't touch them anyway.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Span, Werth, LaRoche and Desmond are a combined 7 for 70 in this series. :X

Update:

7-72

That was a terrible call on Desmond though.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

That's terrible

 

[ffldrew]

He checked up on that

 

[Hilts]

Terrible call by the umpire. Awful blown call in a crucial moment.

 

[tjnc09]

Bad call, let 1st base umpire call that.

Harpers swing scares me

 

[SIDA!]

Officiating during the playoffs have been as terrible as the games have been exciting.

 

[Mark Davis]

So you don't take a lead? I'm sorry, you take a lead always. I'm not saying he didn't have a good lead, I didn't see it. But what you expect, isn't an excuse. It's basic baseball like hustling to first. If he didn't read it well or was surprised by it then you stay put at 3rd. You never make the 2nd out at home.

 

[ffldrew]

Trying to get bit too cute here

 

[Mark Davis]

No way should he get the fastball here.

 

[ffldrew]

In the end a walk to Harper isn't all that bad

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

It sure would be nice to have Ryan Zimmerman on the bench now instead of wasting him with 2 outs and a runner on 1st earlier.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Hell of an AB there. Especially considering how over rated a player Harper is

 

[Mark Davis]

In the end a walk to Harper isn't all that bad

No, totally agree. Gotta make it happen with Ramos.

 

[SIDA!]

I don't want this game to end!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Span, Werth, LaRoche and Desmond are a combined 7 for 70 in this series. :X

Update:

7-72

That was a terrible call on Desmond though.

Add Ramos and Cabrera's 5-32 and you have 12-104 from everyone but Rondon and Harper. You're not going to win a playoff series doing that.

Great, Giants and Cards.

 

[Eephus]

Even numbered years

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Good thing we get to see four second-tier teams battle it out, yay.

 

[ffldrew]

Giants and Cardinals - who would have thunk it

 

[thecatch]

Even numbered years

 

[Eephus]

Good thing we get to see four second-tier teams battle it out, yay.

Dentist alias?

 

[Limp Ditka]

This has to irritate the #### out of Dentist.
