Say what you will about either team, but Garcia is doing what playoff baseball is all about.

Adolis Garcia is 2023's Randy Arozarena.

The Eric Gregg Game.

Westheim · 10-28-2023, 10:29 PM

I just looked at the clock and wondered how they played five innings in 30 minutes. Oh wait, no, DST just ended here

Westheim · 10-29-2023, 12:17 AM

When was the last time two starting pitchers in a World Series game combined for 39 outs?

I wouldn't be shocked if it was something like 2015. Anecdotally, 2016 was the first World Series were bullpen use went completely off the rails.

+++

Edit: 2019, Game 6, Strasburg going 8.1 innings and Verlander adding 5.0;

Westheim · 10-30-2023, 08:42 PM

I absolutely loathe Corey Seager's face.

WARNING: Old fart thoughts ahead......Seriously, what are the D'backs official team colors? I think every jersey I've seen from them covers all 64 in a Crayola box.

Whatever you can find on this fella:

The standard Arizona Nickelbacks unis are perfectly lovely:

Black, red and white. Hard to screw up, one would think.

And yet…greed ruins everything.

Cobra Mgr · 10-30-2023, 10:25 PM

The problem is what is "standard"?

Green, black, red, purple, teal, white, gray.

Pick a side already.

Westheim · 10-30-2023, 10:59 PM

Green numbers with the red font are hideous, regardless of the base color (white/gray). Pick one, stay with that.

And the one on the far right is clearly an atrocious crime against humanity. My eyes! My eyes!

Speaking of atrocious, how 'bout that strike zone at the end of Game 3?

The Strike zone was set at 'random' all game long.

Fair. I was still finishing up my Raccoons update in the first few innings.

Umpire auditor

Westheim · 10-31-2023, 07:54 PM

No more Scherzer, no more Adolis Garcia for the Rangers - both are off the roster.

Travis Jankowski starting in rightfield.

Makes them a bit easier to root for... Now if only Chapman would make an exit...

On another note, how does the 77th ranked ump (out of 92) get to be behind the dish in a World Series game? I mean we can p*ss and moan all we want about 80-some-win teams making the Big Series while 100+ winners are sitting home, but isn't this even worse? Like much worse?

Westheim · 10-31-2023, 08:38 PM

Travis Jankowski singles! The Snakes are DEAD.

And Travis Jankowski wasn't even my favorite Travis on the 2022 Mets! (Travis Blankenhorn)

Cobra Mgr · 10-31-2023, 08:45 PM

'Bullpen game". Phooey!

Westheim · 10-31-2023, 08:55 PM

If they keep going like that, a fan is gonna pitch in the eighth.

Yeah, and in the WS. This is ridiculous.

I was against it when I heard Manfred wants to lower the pitcher limit from 13 to 12 (half pitchers and half batters I kind of like), but if it can motivate teams to train more pitchers to pitch longer, bring it on.
