There’s zero defense for that top of the 10th by LaRussa. Does he not know the rules? His decisions that inning were so bad.And WTF was he doing or not doing on the double switch in the 9th?!Awful.
LaRussa post game “I didn’t know the rule”.Perfect.
Bottom of 10th was just as bad. You always gotta walk the 1st hitter to set up force.
Even after that, how do you not walk Winker??? Dude has been their best hitter and is absolutely killing RHP this season. Wouldn't want them loaded for.... Kyle Farmer! Even Suarez, who would have been next has been brutally bad this year. Everything about that inning was poorly managed.
I too, often find myself thinking "how could the game do more to injure pitchers???"
those damn unwritten rules
A shoelace away from perfection.
John Means of the Orioles threw the 3rd no-hitter of the season today. He missed a Perfect Game after a runner reached on a wild pitch strikeout in the 9th.
Ouch. That's worse than a hbp. Just saw, althe dropped 3rd, was in the 3rd.
Joc Peterson just thought he hit a game-winning homer for the Cubs, flipped his bat and everything. But it was only a game-tying sac fly.I don't mind bat-flips. Celebrations never bother me ... unless you spike the football before you reach the end zone.
That was middle of the track. RF not even in the ivy. What a clown.
Baseball is a weird flukey game, but the Cubs sweeping the Dodgers with a massively struggling Hendricks, essentially a bullpen game, and then Alzolay beating Kershaw, Bauer, and Buehler? That’s just an absurdly unexpected and unexplainable outcome
Hawk Harrelson, a modern-day Mark Twain, used to say, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play them.” MIL and CHC can be glad they played LAD in the last week. The Dodgers are too good to lose 6 of 7 games like that again.
Pujols will be released today, according to Jeff Passan.
