Yamamoto understandably down 2-3 in his velo. Just hope nobody gets hurt.

Hernandez was trying for 1954 WS Willie Mays catch lol...Pages just steamrolled him.

He did save two runs defensively...

The stat that defined the game: In the past 30 years, there have been five players to pitch 15-plus innings in the World Series and allow two runs or fewer: Randy Johnson in 2001, Josh Beckett in 2003, Jon Lester in 2013, Madison Bumgarner in 2014 -- and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in 2025, according to ESPN Research. Each of the previous four saw their team win the World Series. espn.com Of course, no WS winner since the 1962 Yankees have won with a team batting average below .200, either.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46798820/jays-barger-admits-bad-read-ended-game-6-world-series “Given the situation, really fast guy at second base, I was like, I’m going to play really, really shallow and if he hits it over my head, kudos to him,” Hernandez told Fox after the game. “I fell like his pop is more to the pull side. Somehow, I was able to hear the bat broke, even with that crowd. The crazy thing is that I didn’t no idea where the ball was because it was in the lights the whole time. “Given the situation of the game and World Series on the line and how good I was hitting, I was like, ‘It’s going to hit me in the face, but I’m not stopping, I’m not pulling up.’ And then at the very end the ball came out of the lights and into my glove.” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/world-series-game-6-ninth-042914419.html 68th percentile sprint speed from Barger...

Oops meant Liam Hendriks. Was one tier above Robertson, arguably.

Ki-ke Hernandez has made some great plays out there in left this postseason. Barger as the tying run simply has to make sure the ball gets down first. Springer left on deck before he could do the Kirk Gibson impression.

Glasnow in...

Scherzer I think is 41... Oldest WS starter... At 45 years 342 days, Jamie Moyer (USA, b. 18 November 1962) of the Philadelphia Phillies (USA) became the oldest pitcher to make his World Series debut when he started Game 3 of the 2008 World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays (USA) on 25 October 2008. Kenny Rogers (Detroit/2006) and Curtis Schilling the others at 41/40 to win WS games.

Bassitt has been pretty great this postseason out of the pen.

Ohtani (can probably go 2-4 innings)/Glasnow vs. Scherzer (normal rest)/Bieber (3 day's rest). Smoltz astutely noted Ohtani likely to start since he could still be pulled and keep hitting...

Clearly in the zone but caught low...rookies just don't get that call against superstars on the road.

Wow, nobody has ever done that before. It might have something to do with having frequently than anyone else and posting from a phone...but I'm happy you have something else that draws your ire. Maybe we can have a standings board for mistakes made out of total posts made.

That's most assuredly not a hit lol.

Based on that half inning...the Dodgers are cooked, unless they can get into the Toronto pen.

Or run your team like TB Cleve Milwaukee...at least figure out a way to be competitive with a lower payroll.

Are the Sox still viable as a franchise with three more sub .500 records and still stuck in GRF? I guess they could still sink to 28th-30th in attendance...although Minnesota might pass them on their descent downwards.

Which is more relevant? His identity as an ex Sox or as a Brave? Because clearly there are a lot of Atlanta fans here recently. Nobody on this site would care one iota about Brebbia if more Sox payroll wasn't wasted on him.

We do have an AL Central thread, btw. Shouldn't this be in ex Sox ???

Sugano fared decently. He was the one most expected to end up with an ERA in the high 5's due to his age and lack of dominating stuff. Imanaga has outperforned almost all his early projections...especially the first 4 months or so of 2025.

Unless one considers Dunn Robertson Kimbrel and Grandal to be top of the line...Dunn was pretty darned close in 2011.

Luis Robert Jr. vs. Cardinals
