2020 MLB Season

[NSWCROW]

THUMP !

 

[FRUMPY]

Dont reckon ive seen so many no-doubters off the bat than this post season - especially the dodgers, they dont get any cheapies

 

[twotooto]

The Dodgers much more disciplined hitters than TB. More prepared to make the pitcher throw strikes and then do the team thing to get on base/hit in runs + hit the long ball as well. TB just seem like they're trying to blast their way to the W in every game(as evidenced by the huge strikeout numbers).

Still in it though, but a bit more of an all or nothing approach.

Pinch hit Brett Phillips again or get out of here Kevin Cash.

Not sure why the experts were second-guessing Dave Roberts on replacing Kershaw with May even after he got 4 or 5 outs

He did a pretty good job as a reliever. I would've left him in (May, that is.)

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Haha the commentator just straight out forgetting the 3 batter rule.

Yeah, it was the right call. Both bullpens have been used a lot so it's smart to preserve arms where they can. If it goes to a game 7, might see Kershaw again, for example.

 

[JezzasOnTheAsphalt]

Rays had their chances. Kershaw looked more solid than Glasnow overall. Fair result, still think we’re a fair chance of getting a game 7 though.

 

[twotooto]

Snell should be starting game 6, yeah?

That’s right.

12 pitch first is handy for the Rays

 

[twotooto]

Snell doing his job beautifully. Now the TB hitters need to do their part and convert some of those base runners.

Danger time here, with Seager leading off.

 

[Back One Out]

I get the feeling Hamish McLachlan studied Joe Buck's commentary when he got a job with Channel 7

They have the same style: endless verbal diarrhea about a player's back-story, their families and other irrelevant bullshit and then summarising the previous 30 seconds of action with faux-gravitas as they go to an ad.

Always talking about something other than what's immediately occurring.

Feel free to get in the present moment and call the game!

 

[twotooto]

They love their NBA inspiration too. See: Dwyane.

 

[Back One Out]

FROM THE PAINT!!

 

[twotooto]

Surely the TB manager has just gotta say ~ "hey guys, for the love of christ, just take a little off it and get the barrel on it"...ridiculous amount of fanning going on.

 

[Back One Out]

He's off!

Well done , Snell

 

[twotooto]

Yes, Snell outstanding effort. Why oh why did they take him out though. Mistake.

 

[Back One Out]

 

[QuietB]

He's off!

Well done , Snell

why did they take him out? Idiots

It is his last game for months.

 

[Back One Out]

Can we wind the clock back 5 minutes and leave Snell in?

Disastrous change.

 

[Back One Out]

Hoo boy!

Lucky.

Turner gave that a decent tonk. Just needed one more Vita Brit for breakfast.

Thought it was 4-1 for a sec there.

He lost a couple of yards due to being ranga

 

[Back One Out]

That's what she said!
