2019-10-01 (NL Wild Card Game): Brewers (Woodruff) at Nationals (Scherzer) 7:08 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 4-3 -- Nationals score 3 runs in 8th inning; Heartbreaking end to 2019]

The Grisham-Buckner thing needs to stop. We're talking about the bases loaded with Hader doing a Jose Capellan impersonation, and a ball that was already a hit. And we're comparing it to a weak grounder dribbling through a 1B's legs with the World Series on the line. It's an awful comparison. In the best-case scenario Grisham fields it cleanly and it's 3-3.

Agreed. It was a bad play for sure, but hanging this on Grisham might be the absolute worst take being thrown out there.

[TURBO]

I would say Grisham was the Buckner moment.

 

Good point.

 

NOT a good point. Grisham's mistake didn't cost us the world series, hell, it didn't even cost us the game last night.

 

It was just another bad thing that happened on a bad night.

 

No one will ever equate Grisham's mistake to Buckner, no one at all...

[Jimbo]

The term "Buckner moment" in itself to me is baloney. It happened with a tied score in a game that wasn't an elimination game for the Red Sox. And like others posted above, a false equivalency to Grishom.

Man. Some day, Bill Buckner will be able to rest in peace. Geez. It's baseball. Grish got excited and overran the ball. It happens.

Lost in all of the agony was another 0 for 6 with risp.

That has to improve next year.

Thankfully, Buckner got his forgiveness from the Red Sox before he passed away.

[Ulice Payne]

OK. This one was tough.
