Glad you are talking about the A's backup catcher during a fantastically awesome World Series.

It is way more fun to read the same people rehash the same positions.

Managers don't have the benefit of hindsight. If Maddon doesn't go with Lackey and his replacement bombs, he still gets ripped.  They are in a no win situation.  No one can predict what would have happened if the alternate approach was taken, it is impossible to know.

Hmm.  Not so sure.  If he got beat using his best reliever in that spot he probably gets criticized significantly less.

Tonight could be a battle of attrition for the bullpens.  Sucks to be a manager tonight.

When you say waiter, wasn't this a food delivery woman?  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2741262-as-catcher-bruce-maxwell-reportedly-arrested-for-assault-with-deadly-weapon?ref=hvper.com

Two separate stories. Maxwell accused a waiter of refusing to serve him in Alabama due to his kneeling. Waiter refuted the story.

This is wild.  Morrow clearly didn't have his stuff.  Can't believe he was left in there so long.

I rarely feel sorry for pro athletes. I felt sorry for Morrow. He had absolutely no chance. And now maybe he'll suck in G6, too.

Great audio pickup by Fox with Woodward telling Taylor to tag and go.

Insanity. Absolute insanity. I remember glancing at it early and seeing 3-0 and thinking "well, looks like the Dodgers are going home up 3-2".

He was important enough as the backup catcher to talk about a few weeks ago, I don't recall you caring that he was the backup catcher then.   :D

No he wasn't. 

I didn't say anything about him, because it is a stupid forced story on all fronts.

Back to baseball...

Kershaw v Keuchel, 25 runs scored.  Baseball is awesome.  You never know what is gonna happen.  Both of these offenses are completely superior to the bullpens.

And on a much lesser subject, why we can't stand chicas.

Rough night for the home plate ump.

Agreed. I often stick up for umps/refs because hardly anybody else will, because they don't have an easy job and because it is so much easier to scrutinize them now with super slo-mo, FoxTrax, etc. But he was really, really bad last night. It's the inconsistency that drives athletes, managers and coaches (and fans) nuts, and he was all over the place. Do they drug-test umps? Ha!

And the more I think about an earlier comment I made about Morrow ... Roberts really effed up there. He sent out a guy who was totally spent - a guy he was telling people before the game that he wasn't going to use - and it was like batting practice. The Houston batters were jumping out of their cleats at the meatballs he was lobbing up there. It is a manager's job to put each player in the best position to succeed. I know that in the WS you have to push guys to their limits, but that was really bad managing, IMHO. Do they drug-test managers? Ha!

Finally, more classic arsewipery from Banny McBannerson. This time, buckchuck, you got to be the Target of the Inane. Congrats!
