That was like Podsedniks HR in 05. Dude didn't hit a HR all season and had a walk off on us in the World Series. Worked out for us this time.

now the Culberson guy last night in the 11th...he acted like he had won the game for L.A.
It's what the "real baseball fans" love to see though cuz #strategy!W said:I listened to Larry Dierker on 610 Monday...talking about the double-switch...and how many times it doesn't do for the manager what he wants it to...or it doesn't create the future matchup you're hoping for.willie wonka said:
I think Roberts over-managing that game may be the biggest key in the Astros winning the series.
taking Bellinger out after the 9th inning was a big mistake
Dude... I don't care what the situation was... if I hit a dinger in the World Series I'd probably be half naked by the time I did a full on slide into home and went immediately into a 'snow angel' behind home plate.W said:

... the team would have to drag my half naked ass off the top of the dugout and lock me in the locker room.
Agree with this... which is why it makes Carlos Gomez such a taint.KC_Ag14 said:
Circling back to the bat flip... loved Puig's comments just as much as everyone else.
There is a distinct difference in what Correa did (flipping the bat and looking back at HIS dugout) than say what Jose Bautista does (shows up the opponent). I have zero issue with the former. You should be able to celebrate with your teammates; that isn't showing up your opponent.
Standing the box.. staring down the pitcher/fielders.. jawing at infielders around the bases... you're a tool. Flipping the bat and pumping up your dugout on the way by.. that's just fun baseball.
The Mets for me didnt win that series. ****ing Fred Brocklander gave it to them. Twice.screw-tu said:
I was in the Dome for that bases loaded nobody out debacle in '99. Almost forgot how much I hated the Braves. But still, the Mets from the '86 series will always place their sorry asses just behind the Dodgers for me. Back in the day it almost was Bud Adams level vitriol. But not quite.
I thought it was gone....thank you Lord Jesus it wasn't....TXAG14 said:
That Bellinger drive in the bottom of the ninth still makes my stomach drop.
They're all coming to me because they know how big of a fan I am. It is funny everyone all of a sudden knows baseball and has all these grand opinions.BowSowy said:
Curious if anyone has spent the majority of the morning going around and talking about this game with coworkers, or is it just me?
I work with a lot of Brits, a few of whom are really trying to get into and understand the game. It's made for some entertaining conversations.Farmer1906 said:They're all coming to me because they know how big of a fan I am.

Girardi wasn't fired. Seems to be a mutual parting of ways. His post game 7 interview sounded like he wasn't sure if he wanted to continue managing.
I was around for that one too, but I had to go in to junior high the next day instead of work.SoupNazi2001 said:Robert2014 said:
Me at work.
You just think you are tired. Us old timers had to stay up for 14 in 05 and a loss on top of that.
Gotcha didn't see the new stuff except for the headline. He sure acted like he didn't know if he even wanted to come back after they lost game 7 so I figured it was more mutual.HossAg said:Forum Troll said:

His statement said they decided not to bring him back. Pretty sure he was fired.
