I'd like to see Kershaw in a World Series, but right now, I'm rooting for an Astros/Nationals match-up--neither's ever won, best hitting vs. best front-three starters, Altuve/Harper.

That said, one hears so much negative stuff said about this city and her people. Can they not just maybe have this one little thing? A pretty good baseball team succeeding?

have you considered that DC is actually the entirety of hell and it doesn't deserve redemption
just because people who don't live here hate it for the wrong reasons doesn't mean there aren't right reasons

i sympathize with what you're saying, Y.M. Puffin. believe me, i feel bad for the feds. honestly i think i just got tired of going to nats games with 14,000 people in the stands and watching everyone boo whenever there was a pickoff attempt. that is one of my biggest baseball pet peeves! i can't forgive it.

why is werth batting 2nd again? (as i type that, ron darling says that werth is the best person to bat 2nd with Turner on base, because he averaged 4.5 pitches per PA. but...i still don't think it makes sense)

dusty baker is a genius? i don't even know which team i'm rooting for in this game, tbh. i guess i'm rooting for an interesting game.

i'm amazed how Darling gets a lobotomy every fall before the playoffs, but has it undone in time for the next Mets' season.

A starting pitcher who has given up four runs in three innings -- and is behind in an elimination game -- was allowed to hit in the fourth inning.

I love how anytime I leave the TBS app to like answer a text or whatever and then go back in, I'm required to watch the exact same cell phone ad with Bryce Harper every single time, and then the same ad shows up in every ad break too.

2 run game and it's still early but I can't recall a team making a boner like that in an elimination game and winning

yeah, someone asked Dave Cameron yesterday if Scherzer would relieve and he said "He won't throw much on 2 days' rest." (He got an extra day but the point stands.)

Strange inning. Only one ball was hit hard (Russell's double). And somehow it all started by Scherzer mowing down Bryant and Rizzo.

I'm not sure why they're assuming Werth lost the ball in the lights. Maybe he just messed up.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Friday, 13 October 2017 02:51 (six years ago) link
i feel bad for werth. not only did that happen, but this could be his last game. he's 38, at the end of a 7-year contract, and he's been worth just a hair over replacement value over the last 3 years.
