Didi would have had an upper tank HR with a regular season baseball.
Small sample size and all, but I would like to amend my answer in the Gerrit Cole poll answer to "back a dump truck full of money up to his house."
*takes break from movie, checks box score, nods -- there is a God*
Corbin strikes out the side and back-to-back hits for the Nationals to start the bottom of the first. Story of this entire series in an inning.
@bestfansinbaseball should have an interesting feed tonight.
I think just getting into the playoffs in the first place was more than they expected this season
I imagine that's generally true, but that Twitter account doesn't retweet the rational portion of the fan base because that wouldn't be comedy gold.
GOSO
Cardinals completely falling apart in the field.
Welp, that about wraps that up.
Cards having as disastrous a first inning as they inflicted on the Braves last week.
I saw some commentary today that speculated that Molina's passed ball last night, and the lackadaisical way he went after it, were a sign that the Cardinals had given up. I pretty much discounted that when I read it, but this kind of a start makes me think there may be something to it.
They sure look like they'd rather be anywhere else.
Not The Yankees have played pretty well today.
pucker factor rising
NATS
Just needed to get rid of Harper.
This will be a sad bracket if the Yankees win. So don't let that happen Houston.
Looks like I was the only person to pick the Nats before the season started. Somehow I even picked them to come out of the Wild Card game. Now let's see them lose in 6 games to Houston. (Also, nailed that Joe Madden call.)
The NLCS MVP better be Sánchez-Scherzer-Strasburg-Corbin.
Kendrick. Seems a little like a cumulative award for the DS grand slam.
I would've said Sánchez. He set the tone, and pretty clearly had the best game of the lot of them.
A solid choice. He had a +0.53 WPA, highest of anyone in the series. Scherzer had +0.50. Kendrick meanwhile had +0.19, tied with Gomes, and wasn't even the highest for a position player, that was Eaton at +0.26. Strasburg also netted +0.26 in his start.
I was tempted to pick Sánchez as well but thought Scherzer and Strasburg deserved mention. But didn't want to exclude Corbin for his workable start.
Kendrick = 2003 Shannon Stewart
I had forgotten that Stewart led the Twins past the Yankees with some clutch hitting
He got way more credit than he deserved that first season, but hey -- whatever story people want to ride
That's the way to start a ball game!
Twins' Bases Loaded Syndrome
Had to close Gameday because Gardner mugshot.
Here's an antidote for that.
Nice, but I still saw him
Bahaha. What a jerk
Astros bombas are good.
Cole doing some quality wiggling.
