2018 World Series

So much for that. This thing is going to go all night, or until atleast someone musters up the energy to jack one out.

[turnbow59]

Its kind of nice I can watch this as a fan of neither team and just enjoy it. I cant even imagine how my heart would be able to handle 18 innings of a Brewers World Series game. Though I guess I would have liked to found out.

Really great baseball game!

If MLB is going to commit to this low offense, high strikeout style of game, they HAVE to institute a pitch clock. With the amount of runs scored this game should have taken 4-5 hours at most.

I fell asleep. Bummer.

I could be wrong, but my understanding was that the objection to the pitch clock was coming from the player's union. The league proper is all for it, to the point of wanting to institute it over the players' objections. At least IIRC.

This is the exact type of game that will have MLB taking a serious look at time limits,or starting extras with a runner on 2nd or something silly like that.

Also,I think the Red Sox win this game if Kinsler holds position at 3rd

The more I see in this series, the more beatable the Red Sox appear to be. This actually makes me feel worse that the Brewers didn’t make it. I thought the Red Sox would dominate either the Dodgers or the Brewers so I took solace that the Brewers couldn’t have beaten them. Now, I don’t know.

Puig and Machado powering a lot of the Dodgers offense...we could have had both. Maybe they don’t fit in our clubhouse (especially Puig), but I think that is a little overblown to some extent. Interesting to wonder if Machado might have actually been the missing link. Would never have guessed at the deadline, but a major RH hitter killed us when we needed it most.

 

Of course Arcia was pretty good in the postseason, but I’d bet my life Arcia would have gotten work in at 2B after such a trade. With the pathetic play at 2B by our RH hitters he probably would have started anyway. Would have been some nice defense up the middle.

 

Just some “what if” things to wonder about. Not saying it would have ended better or even the same...just a situation that easily could have happened.

Dodgers haven't lost a game all year when leading by 4 runs at any time. They are the only team in baseball that hasn't.........so far......

Annnnnnnnnnd the lead is gone.

[markedman5]

Baseball is a bizarre game......you hope the season is over before the odds start evening out.....lol

Puig with some huge postseason HRs. He would have looked good in our lineup. (Ducks)

I know it is only tied, but it would be nice to see the Dodgers lose and change the stat via this Tweet:

 

“The Dodgers are 54-0 when leading by 4 runs at any point this season, including postseason. They're the only team without such a loss.”

Heck, having a 4-0 lead in the 1st was a curse for us at one point this season.

It seemed clear that at some point relying on Floro was going to cost them, just sad that it wasn't against us.

Floro started this season as a 27 year old in Triple-A with the Cincinnati Reds and is now pitching in a 9th inning tie game in the World Series. Good story, but the Dodgers bullpen’s “second tier” does seem to finally be catching up with them.

Ok, nevermind about the Red Sox looking beatable. I’ve never seen a team hit this well with two outs and runners on.

[markedman5]

Well that will do it

[stoutdude04]

Machado steps on Pearce now...

Yep, what a piece of human garbage.

[brewmann04]

What a bum buts it's nice to see the Dodgers lose

[Eye Black]

I don’t even dislike Machado as much as some, but I am having a hard time trying to fathom a team choosing to invest $300+ million in him this off-season.
