It's what NoTime said about Osuna. I think he had high save percentages--or at least no worse than normally high--but it never felt easy. He'd fiddle around, run up high counts, seemingly lose concentration, try funny windups...it was like having Mitch Williams Jr. out there.

Still have a queasy feeling because of this Houston lineup.

What I remember is sometimes he’d be lights out and sometimes he wouldn’t be. He’d get into funks for little stretches.

jeez, that call
― WmC, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:18 (four years ago) link
Really? A strike?
― Bee OK, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:18 (four years ago) link
bring on the robo strike zone

Strike three on Correa -- worst call of the series, including the supposed interference call.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:19 (four years ago) link
some ludicrous strike calls for both teams tonight, and all series

Interference call was worse but I hear you

Corbin had a nice game

Did ilbb come to a consensus on that call? Tell me what to feel.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:23 (four years ago) link
Not as bad as those two back-to-back pitches to Zimmerman, which in tandem doubled the size of the strike zone.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
Short version: the consensus was me against IBB.
This zone has been wide all night, just mostly for Greinke. Glad he called it for the Nats for once.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
ILB, I mean.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:25 (four years ago) link
But more importantly, three outs left.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:25 (four years ago) link
you don't run for Zimmerman here? I need that 5th run
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:27 (four years ago) link
Cole still not in the game, there has to be a story there. He couldn't get loose? Warmed up too many times?
At the end of the day, how do you not use your best pitcher in game 7 of the WS?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:27 (four years ago) link
xp moot now but
Honestly don't know whether I'd send Corbin out or not. Have no sense of him or Doolittle.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:28 (four years ago) link
Cole never pitched in relief and pitched yesterday.

The current astros pitcher has a small number near the brim of his hat. Maybe it’s a 45 in honor of our Dear Leader?? Now that’s a true patriot!
― tobo73, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:30 (four years ago) link
Cole pitched in game 5 three days ago.

The Nationals got here by using their best starters on two days rest throughout the playoffs.
Cole could go

Oh yah true
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:33 (four years ago) link
Please squeeze out one more run.
― clemenza, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:33 (four years ago) link
I’m sorry everyone
The Nats are like the 2015 Royals in that they dominated the playoffs in the late innings. What is their run differential from the seventh inning on?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 31 October 2019 03:36 (four years ago) link
Ah yes

Buck did some first-guessing last inning and wanted Corbin back out there. Shouldn't matter now.
