October 12, 20205 yr For some reason I pull for Dusty Baker, I do not know why. That was a great game last night.
October 12, 20205 yr Top 9 Anderson loaded the bases and threw 8 straight balls so Bregman swings at the first pitch to make the final out of the game. Good job selfish asshole.
October 12, 20205 yr The Rays almost blew it. Anderson had nothing out there and Cash left him out there without anyone else warming in the bullpen. It almost backfired on him.
October 12, 20205 yr Author Dodgers-Rays would be a good World Series considering the expanded postseason could have led to some crazy stuff.
October 14, 20205 yr Rays up 5-2, Bottom 9th with 1 out. 2 men on with Altuve up to bat, 2-2 count. Altuve checks his swing and clearly doesn't go, would be easily verified by the 1st base umpire. The home plate umpire (Jeff Nelson) doesn't even ask the first base umpire, he just calls it a strike. I get missing strikes and balls, but how the hell do you not ask the 1st base umpire for help on a close check swing call? Just irresponsible. I'm sick of these umpires.

I'll give the umps a pass there.

October 17, 20205 yr Author Once again, Go Rays! If they lose, it's the last game I watch this year. Second time in history a 3-0 lead went to a Game 7.

And we know what happened last time... Cash overmanaged last night. It's all hindsight, but Snell should not have been taken out at 80 pitches. It's not like he gave up rockets to the 2 guys he let on base. Snell himself was like "WTF are we doing?". Castillo didn't have it and the Astros have probably seen him enough this series to hit him well.

Castillo didn't have it and the Astros have probably seen him enough this series to hit him well. And in game seven he pulled the starter too early IMO. Of course the reliever stranded the two runners and it all worked out. But in theory the bullpen was taxed and the starter was doing well still.

Someone see if he has a twitter or Instagram and invite him to join. Edited October 18, 20205 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
October 20, 20205 yr I'm not a huge baker fan but I feel he did a great job bringing a team that lost Cole, Verlander, Alvarez and the trash can to game 7 of the ALCS.
