All of you are a bunch of morons if you think Alamoras tag to 2nd wasn't the play that won them the game.
So, some cub fans apparently think the World Series started last year. Here are some historically significant plays.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughter%27s_Mad_Dashhttps://youtu.be/lrI7dVj90zshttps://youtu.be/-F5HwiGm7lghttps://youtu.be/roZUjcYj95khttps://youtu.be/BQksDqxG36shttps://youtu.be/gNt3UuDTBz8https://youtu.be/86jDXpGtUooOh yeah, and thesehttps://youtu.be/ACHJvLM8848https://youtu.be/AFsmDKUswasBut you are probably right, a tag up is definitely the, what did you say, oh yeah "best play in World Series history" But here, just for fun, is what may have been the best play of all time, at least before Joe Maddon pinch ran for a slow guy with a fast guy.https://youtu.be/7dK6zPbkFnE
Well you have done messed up "meat" (You are now blocked btw) #1: We don't even know what actually happened. Done. #2: Wasn't even a world series play. Done.#3: Game 6, non elim for the Blue Jays. Was hardly the pressure play felt by Alamora. Plus it was a home run on a pitch he got squared up on. This was hardly a heads up play#4: Wasn't a play. Was an entire game. Did I say "Best game played by a player" No. #5: 3rd inning.... Oh my. Let's face it. IT was a great play, but didn't come close to determining the entire game.#6: This is the 3rd time you've attempted a walk off play. Those aren't great plays. In fact the percentage to win the game was incredibly favorable for the Diamond backs in that moment. Do you know the percentage that a tag on first happens? #7: 4th time? Were you just googling crap? wasn't even an elim game. For Christ sakes my man.#8: 5th time? 2nd game of the series. Again you have on average a 30% chance of hitting the ball. This is like a team in basektball winning off a fast break with a layup and you saying the shot was amazing. And not the play that set it up. FYI The latter was the hardest part. #9 6th time. This was just a grand slam. LolAs I said before, you are a moron. You clearly don't understand baseball, and understand the managing of baseball even less.
Dude no one is denying it wasn't great heads up baseball that was a catalyst to them scoring those runs that won them the game. We are just pointing out that a tag up from first is not that greatest play in World Series history. Take a few deep breaths and enjoy the banner raising tonight.
I think it is unlikely that the Sox get 2 of those. Signing Robert this session would make it nearly impossible to sigh Ohtani, unless he signs for 300k. Signing them both next session would be equally unlikely, as they would both have to fit under the cap (8.5 or so), keep in mind the international pool isn't a suggestion like it has been, it is a hard cap. I'd be pretty happy if they get either Robert or Ohtani. Beer may very well be the number one overall pick, I personally don't think the Sox will be bad enough to get number 1 (prove me wrong boys, prove me wrong), top 5 certainly, but teams like the Padres, Reds, Twins (hot start not withstanding) have a better shot at that number 1 pick.Like you though, the minor leagues are where most of the interest lays. I upgraded my MLB.tv subscription to include MiLB TV as well.
And Almora's pinch run? Best play in world series history.
Heads up baseball play that required a basic understanding of score and situation. Some major leaguers would have screwed it up. Lots of Pony Leaguers (13 - !4 year olds) would have gotten it right. Nothing special.
I know it'll be virtually impossible to sign both Robert & Ohtani. I know one exec said Robert is better than Ohtani, and the Sox international signing strategy puts them in a great position to sign Robert. Most people don't think Beer will go #1, a true corner outfielder has never gone 1-1, and (luckily) the 2018 draft is loaded with talent. I've heard from Sox people that they are going all in on Machado. They have the second lowest salary commit right now in MLB for 2019, and can front load a $35 -$40 mil deal for him without hard cap ramifications. I'd love a Machado, Robert, Beer, Moncada, Collins middle of the order come 2020. That doesn't take into account their arms in the minors, this year's draft, or trading Quintana. I'm willing to stay patient if this is what's coming.
Everything you hear about Robert is a lot like Moncada 2.0. Would love to get him and the Sox seem well positioned. Ben Badler, Mr. Cuba, seems to think the Sox are the favorite. Little Havana on the South Side, sign me up. I didn't realize that about a corner OF. That is a little surprising. It would be great to get that 80 power bat for sure. At least the speculation will keep things interesting.I'm not even going to get my hopes up on Machado, but that would be something...
Has there been any alluding as to what might happen regarding Quintana? Apologies if I missed but curious as to what people think the strategy will be around that. You run the risk of holding him and pitching out of some additional value but at the same time you can hold out for the contenders price. Unrelated but Sale getting the old Quintana treatment in Boston with 0-1 and 1.23 era in two decisions.
This is perfect cub fan nonsense.
This response is just as embarrassing, if not moreso. Typical Sox fan.
I do think Game 7 of the '16 World Series has a chance to be the best baseball game of all time. FWIW, MLB Network did a countdown of the 20 best games a few years ago. These are amazing games and bring back a lot of fun memories, but Cubs/Indians last November certainly makes the list.http://mlb.mlb.com/network/games_airdates/
I didn't bother to look thru all the links, but I really like baseball and think the best play in WS during my lifetime, (I'll be 40 on the fall) was Puckett's walkoff in 1991 or Gibson's home run in '88.
My favorite was the Yanks/Dbacks in 2001. Just a great series. Every game down to the wire. In my opinion that was as much fun as baseball can be (of course excepting 2005 for personal reasons, but that wasn't near the series.)
