To sort of quote Bobby Jones (when he was referring to Jack Nicklaus), these teams are playing a game with which I am not familiar. It sure as heck isn't baseball. I'm off to bed. Presumably I'll read about two or three more lead changes in the morning.
Well, not quite lead changes, just another tie, but still utter ridiculousness and pitching ineptitude.
Anyone notice Joc Pederson costing his team a base? Ended up not mattering, but high fly ball to left, he stands there for several seconds watching. Ends up bouncing off the wall and rolling for a while but he only got to second. Oh, and T-Mobile is going to have to donate like a million to charity after this World Series. http://www.businesswire.com/news/ho...le-Doubles-HR4HR-Home-Runs-Hurricane-Recovery
wow Charlie Morton. Unlikely guy to lock down the Dodgers for the last few innings. Darvish and Bellinger were especially awful this series. First World Series win for the Houston Astros.
When they moved to the AL, I felt sorry for them and figured theyd continue to lose 100 games a year for ages. Instead they become a juggernaut. Draft well, add smart pieces via trade/FA, win a title. There's a lesson in there. Maybe the Jets will learn it some day.
Having two runners on with less than two outs in four of the first five innings and getting zero runs is the offensive equivalent of Darvish’s pitching. That was a total team choke job.
