He was locked in for Game 6 of the 2021 WS

And a fellow Braves fan, I will be forever grateful for that.

 

[fsclark1]

He pitched great in the WC round

True. But it still averages out to another sub-par postseason, unfortunately, unless he gets another chance.

 

[GoHeelsweeeehoooo]

Hope the Cubs can hold on tonight - I really despise the brewers

 

[GoHeelsweeeehoooo]

Cubs win!!

 

[uncsig]

Enjoy your offseason Yankees.

 

[Centerpiece]

Really glad Yankees are gone.
For me, that’s like when d00k is gone in NCAA’s.
Not a Dodger fan, but I don’t like Phillies either… so whatever. Hope it goes 5 games to burned out the winner a bit more.

I'm not a LAD fan whatsoever, it's the Philadelphia fanbase that I despise to no end as they are the worst of any . . . when it comes to this series, the meteor is whom I am wishing for.
Tonight's game is an October classic though . .

 

[BillyL]

What a colossal mistake by the Philly pitcher to not throw the ball to 1st base for the chance of a 3rd out.
Suck it Philly fans . . . LOL

Well that was an interesting way to get a walk-off series win. Kierkering is gonna have to live with that one for a long time.

He wasn't getting him out at home no matter what. I'm not sure if he panicked or if he thought he needed more than one out.

He came in to the game with 2 outs. I guess he just forgot how many outs there were.

As someone with a masters degree in sports psychology, definite panic. Really though, you know it was panic because of how bad the throw was even after the decision.

Yup. Forgot the situation. That’s why he fumbled the grounder to begin with. He thought he had to come home with it. He got in a hurry and fumbled it. Had he known the situation and realized he only needed one out he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry… He would not have mis-played the grounder and would’ve taken his time, and got the easy out at first.

And this is why you simply put the ball in play boys and girls… You don’t always have to swing for the fences… Just put the ball in play make the Defense get you out. Sometimes they make an error and you’re good to go anyway.

Brewers gotta lose those uniforms
Look like my industrial league softball unis from the early 1980s

I was always taught the following three things for every pitch:

1. Know the situation
2. Assume every ball is going to be hit to you
3. Know what you're going to do with the ball once it's hit to you

Exactly. Expect the ball, want the ball hit to you, know exactly where you’re going with it. I guess he got caught up the moment and didn’t realize the situation coming out of the bull pen. In actuality, he got exactly what you’d want in that situation: a come-backer to the mound. Perfect. Throw a dart to first and walk back to the dugout. He made a mental error and a throwing error. Thems the breaks I guess.

UNC legend Michael Busch leads the majors with 4 postseason HR so far (and I think they're his only 4 hits too, lol).

This 5th game between the Mariners & Tigers has been a great game to watch, now going into the 10th inning tied at 2-2.
