caulfield12 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 31, 2015 -> 06:59 PM) Close, but not enough to overturn. Not real smart of Yost to waste a challenge on that. Alex Rios forgot how many outs there were on a fly ball to right. Wilmer Flores appeared to leave third base too soon, but there wasn't irrefutable evidence to call him out. It's not often you see two brain cramps of that magnitude on the same play in a major league game. Jerry Crasnick, ESPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Cespedes has been a bit of a butcher this World Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Cespedes has cost himself some of the millions he gained from his strong second half performance in NY. Like with Cueto, there are going to be some hard questions from AL teams about overpaying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm still very skeptical that teams are going to offer more or less based on a small handful of games in the playoffs. I don't think it'll make much of a noticeable difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Craziest stat of the postseason so far. Most runs scored from the 7th inning on. 1. Royals 44 2. Mets 11 Not sure 3-10, but 3rd is probably in single digits. The biggest shock is that it wasn't Addison Reed. Shades of Bill Buckner in reverse with Murphy.

ballz Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Pulling Matz was the biggest mistake. I don't get this whole thing the last couple of WS....yanking starters and putting in other starters just because they gave up a run. Matz was fine. He was 59 pitches into the 5th. So a run came in...they were still up 3-2. It promptly went to sh*t from there. Let your STARTERS THROW THEIR GAME. And Tyler Clippard???? You are BEGGING to lose when you bring him in.

Yes, but it sets an even higher bar or standard. From Point A to B is a massive gulf, at least for the moment. You can't make the argument a 500ish team is just going to somehow luck into the playoffs when the Twins and Indians are better positioned with young position player talent and the Tigers will be able to outspend the White Sox to make one final go with their older core. As for subbing Niese, it didn't make much sense because the splits aren't so pronounced where he just mows down lefties. Im sure Collins will argue he was out of gas and not conditioned with only 9 starts and a long layoff and then back problems to go deep into games. And now the Mets will really have to be careful if Familia gets a save situation tmrw. Edited November 1, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) As to Cespedes, he's a decent lf/rf, but he has certainly been exposed for those teams potentially considering him for CF. You have to lose some of that premium value as a result. I'm not sure that is an overreaction as much as an obvious observation. And then getting picked off with the tying run coming up next and D'Arnaud the best catcher offensively in the second half, it's pretty pathetic. He's a very talented player, but not always a heady, winning one. Edited November 1, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals were down 3-2 before Hosmer's ball to Murphy. He makes the play and it's runners on second and third, two outs for Moustakas and the Mets clinging to the lead. They probably would have loaded the bases to face Perez, for the Rhb/Rhp matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
