Yes. That drawn out anticipation and suspense. It's like a damn Tarantino movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This is why I can't stand NL baseball. Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying the **** out of this game, but there's no good reason Charlie Blackmon shouldn't be playing in this game right now. One of the more dynamic players in the league in an elimination game and he's on the bench? That's not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Maddon doesn't pinch run Gore for Rizzo, this game might be over already. "The ****'s chess, it ain't checkers!" - Alonzo Harris, Training Day More obvious since it's the wild card game too. Both managers forced to make the necessary move. There is no tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -Weaver Great quote. I'm from NC, used to ride up to Memorial and catch a couple series a year with my old man. I remember there was one game where Earl went all the way around the bases and gave the business to the umpire on every base. Then he put the game under protest. Hilarious. Pretty sure Randy Milligan hit three in one game that weekend. Boy, do I feel old. Arenado looking like Brooks Robinson over there. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Rizzo out but they needed a speed guy to score that run. That's understandable. I understand a double switch too but I just think it takes away from the game sometimes. Arenado is ****ing amazing. I think that couple years that Manny played 3rd, that was the best I've ever seen. I am biased. But Arenado is right there.

CRobi21 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Oh come on. Arenado gave him a hug back. He wasn't going anywhere with the ball. Play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda where I'm at, too. Arenado should have freaked the **** out and tried to make a throw to first though. Hobbled slow catcher going up the line, he didn't attempt to try to get Baez off him and make a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yea surprised he didn't just try and turn it. Thought that one was getting down the line. Always some no-name/last guy on the bench that seems to get the big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
