they released 3 singles in the upper two decks about 20 mins ago.... after trying to get them for about 15 mins they were gone

---

I don't understand where all the singles that pop up throughout the day come from. Do they just hold on to them for that purpose of just randomly releasing one or two at a time for some lucky fans to pick up?

Not a knock against any world series between then and in the future... but it's doubtful we ever see anything more awesome than the 2017 series. Not only was it our first, but damn that series had some epic moments. That game alone was the most unbelievable game I've ever seen!

They have some held back to fulfill the "buy 2020 season tickets and you're able to purchase WS tickets" guarantee. Also, I'd assume they have a set number held back for sponsor and MLB obligations. I assume those are slowly being released.

A friend of a friend is an MLB umpire. They get allotted tix for all postseason. Got the call this morning. I will be at game 6. Let's Go! TAKE IT BACK!!!

---

Very cool congratulations. Just curious what kind of tickets do they give the umpires?

---

I got players tix for game 1. I believe he will be in either section 122 or 124. The ump tickets are picked up at the same window (26). I'm not sure if your guy told you, but they don't release ump tickets until like an hour before game time, just so you're not waiting.

scenario...Verlander goes 8. Youre up 1. Who is getting the last 3 outs?

Lets hope there aren't any infield fly rules called this game. The homeplate ump is the same from the 2012 NL WC game where this happened:

Game 6 Home Plate Ump Sam Holbrook

Holbrook has experience umpiring a big game late in a World Series. He had the plate for Game 7 of Cubs-Indians in 2016. Holbrook's strike zone history is that of a conservative strike caller, relatively speaking. However, his numbers this season indicate an ump who favored neither batter nor pitcher in the aggregate.

If Strasburg is pitching for the Nationals, he should be thrilled to see Holbrook. He has an 0.90 ERA in 40 regular-season innings with 43 strikeouts and seven walks with Holbrook behind the plate. Verlander's ERA with Holbrook is 2.33, including two starts this season in which he allowed one run in 14 innings, with 17 strikeouts.

Most important tendencies: A look at three years rather than one shows that Holbrook has been less of a strike caller than other umpires on high and low pitches, especially so at the bottom of the strike zone when a right-handed batter is up. That would seem to affect Strasburg more than Verlander, since Verlander tends to pitch more up in the strike zone. But as you see in the numbers above, Strasburg doesn't seem bothered with how Holbrook calls a game.

---

Your closer.

---

This is the only right answer. You don't put in anyone but osuna in this situation.

---

But why?

Put whoever you think gives you the best chance to get those 3 outs without giving up a run. More than likely it is your closer, but it isn't always the case.

---

Because being the closer is as much of a mind game as anything else. Harris has been absolutely fantastic coming in in high leverage situations and getting us out of jams. It's a different mindset entirely knowing that you're coming in to close a close game in the World Series.

What year was it that Harris was having a great season and we put him at closer and he bombed?

The umps get a form to fill out - this ump let's my friend know he doesn't need any - so friend says order 4 for me. We still pay but at something like 40% off face value. May have had choice for better seats/ more expensive but we are in 423. Who's your player connection??

I'll take a 1 run win... and I'll take a 15 run win. I honestly don't care as long as we win. It can be the ugliest win of all time for all I care.

My heart would prefer a 15 run beat down

We watched game 7 at Revelry in 2017. Celebrated there for about 30 or so mins then drove to academy on 59 near Kirby and the line was around the store.

Pretty sure people post up there for the game and just watch on their phones or something.

---

That sounds absolutely miserable to me. Just go pick up the same stuff in the morning.....not like they're gonna run out.

My co-worker told me that when we won in 2017, she sent her husband to Academy 30 minutes before game 7 was over to go wait in line at Academy. I was trying my hardest to hold back in telling her how terrible of a wife she was.

---

That's a **** wife. Academy will get more inventory z few days later. It's not like they are gonna stop making WS Champion gear if there is a hungry market for it.
