Westheim · 10-31-2017, 10:54 PM

I am suddenly overcome by an acute rash of raw hopelessness...

Westheim · 10-31-2017, 11:09 PM

Has someone checked how many home games the Astros played during the regular season?

I'd say roughly 101......

Yay Game 7. Good game tonight

ForeverRoyalKC · 11-01-2017, 09:07 AM

Why do I have a feeling tonight's game 7 will be one way or the extreme other?! No 3-1, 6-4 type of score. It's going to be an epic "come down to the 9th inning or extra innings" or someone will be on the bad end of a blowout.

Westheim · 11-01-2017, 09:37 AM

I haven't seen the script, but it's gonna be hard to beat Mad Bum's Game 7 from '14 and that 2-out triple by Alex Gordon.

Prediction: New record for most pitching changes in any game ever.

Prediction: Dodgers win 7-5.

Nightmare Prediction: Kershaw comes on in the 9th for a save just because it will be poignant or some such bull***t and blows it leading to extras.

Joe Buck: ... so it truly has been the most amazing game ever, now tied at seventeen in the bottom of the 12th inning. And as Vin Scully is warming up in the bullpen to pitch the 13th, here is a brief word from our sponsor ...

Great stuff, guys! I literally laughed out loud reading these!
I have only been able to follow the WS on MLB.com's Gameday sim. When I see "Game Advisory Coaching visit to the mound", I have been like "AGAAAIN?!?!" Especially Dave Roberts' visits!

You sure Roberts won't change out Darvish when he throws his very first ball count?!

Buck (top of 1st): "Here's the windup and Darvish's 0-1 pitch to Altuve.....that misses for ball one. And here comes Roberts."

Westheim · 11-01-2017, 08:16 PM

Since there's no tomorrow (in baseball terms - sniff), all hands are off today. I get that. If the guy coughs up a run in the first and puts a guy on in the second, he's probably done.

But I absolutely don't get it when they manage like that in Game 2.

Maybe he pulls him after the leadoff double? Nope

TGH-Adfabre · 11-01-2017, 08:26 PM

A horrible defensive play at first didn't do it either.

pgjocki · 11-01-2017, 08:26 PM

Darvish might not make it out of 1st inning

Well, that throw was no bueno, so if he wants to pull anybody from the field by the ear, it would be Bellinger.

Darvish was not at fault but he may get pulled for it anyway.

Westheim · 11-01-2017, 08:37 PM

Moah, my internet is like Bellinger's throws...

Westheim · 11-01-2017, 08:51 PM

Dear Elias Sports Bureau - has there ever been a brawl in a Game 7?

TGH-Adfabre · 11-01-2017, 08:58 PM

Blew it with bases loaded.

Westheim · 11-01-2017, 09:02 PM

If I want anybody in the box with the sacks stacked, it's Pederson. Terrible batter. Always tries to make it go 800 feet, regardless of game situation. Terrible batter. Without the jetballs, he'd take bus rides between AA towns after batting .175 with one homer in his first major league stint, years ago. Terrible batter. I hesitate to call him even that. Terrible hacker.
