OT: MLB Thread 2024

[MysticLeviathan]

by 2028 maybe

outside of stanton they don’t have a clutch bone in their body is the biggest issue. judge will get a single every 6th or 7th ab with no one on and 2 outs.

you could see how all this unfolded, but even if hill comes in I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we still lost, even if it wasn’t by a home run

 

[Ben Grimm]

next game is a must win pretty much. Hard to see them coming back from 0 and 2 especially with Judge stinking up the joint as always in the playoffs

Agreed. If the NYY lose game 2 they'd have to win 4 of 5.

I still take my chances on the guy that's been pitching regularly and is you know, an actual reliever and used to it. Cortes shouldn't even be on the damn roster, no less coming into a game in that situation. That's an easy 1st guess.

That wasn't the only bad move he made.

Holmes first guy out of the pen with a guy on (and I get the logic, but it's f***ing Holmes who is as unreliable as they come), letting Kahnle face Ohtani (this was amplified by Gleyber not being able to catch a ball) and then wasting Weaver trying to get a 5 out save when the probability was low and that game was almost certainly going to get tied. Should have let Kahnle get out of his own mess at that point or at least finish the inning.

Would have been f***ing nice to have Weaver for the 10th.

Thanks, gonna add it to my resume. The guys at Dick's Sporting Goods will be super impressed.

absolutely fair. it just sucks that after cousins, whom do you have? I hate how shit our bullpen is beyond the 5th guy while the dodgers have like infinite arms.

It’s like they were trying to film a movie using Nestor.

Tim Hill. No earned runs and great against lefties. Easy.

boone was trying big brain everyone and just showed he’s the biggest f***ing moron in the stadium. beyond cortes over hill, why immediately ibb betts? betts has bad numbers against him and he can nibble a bit. go 2-0 or 3-0 then put up 4 fingers. but now you have to throw strikes with bases loaded.

just horrific managing by boone.

Tim Hill. No earned runs and great against lefties. Easy.

honestly I’m most mad they immediately ibb’d betts. should’ve thrown a little something to him then 4 fingers if it’s quickly 2-0 or 3-0.

Even Hollywood rejected that trash script. Boone apparently isn't any better at producing movies than he is at managing.

 

[inranger94]

Baboon was saving Hill for god knows what.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Tim Hill, Hank Hill, Bobby Hill, Peggy Hill....I'm taking all of them over Nestor Cortes. Like damn, if you're going to get beat, use your best f***ing guys.

If LA wins game 2, they could win the WS w/o winning in NY.

I don’t think this series goes back to LA

I was watching at my brother’s place. I don’t get some of the decisions made by both managers in the end.

Why were the Dodgers playing in when Chisholm scored? That would’ve been a routine double play.

And why Cortez was brought in. Lmao that was a yikes. Not even in hindsight was that a bad move.

 

[Bob Richards]

On one hand I feel bad for Cortes. No action in a month and THATS the spot your manager puts you in? Brutal.

On the other hand, bro threw the slowest meatball possible for Freddie f***ing Freeman. I would’ve put that pitch in the bleachers.

 

[NickyFotiu]

I have not watched much but both times I have watched recently I have seen Cabrera get eaten up by grounders at 2nd base that many 2nd basemen would not have a problem with. For me that was the beginning of the problem.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Really need Judge to get back to form. Wish someone would show him how Reggie Jackson was slumping in the playoffs. Reggie was even benched in the playoffs before going nuts in the World Series. Even if Judge strikes out I want him swinging. Taking to called strikes is not how I want him to go down.
