A reminder that there were 23 other first round picks ahead of Walker Buehler.

Context is important. Everyone knew Buehler was set to get Tommy John and there was risk there. He would easily have been a top 10 pick with no health issues going into the draft.

That was the perfect end to an awesome baseball game. That was as entertaining a baseball game as you’ll ever see, just awesome.

Agreed. That was awesome.

Smith will get a lot of blame for not making that catch, and of course he should’ve caught that ball and if he had Arozarena would’ve been dead. But that throw by Muncy was absolutely horrendous. It’s like a 30 foot throw, you’d like the throw to lead Smith up the 3rd base line expecting a play at home, but even if you just throw it right into Smith’s chest you’re fine. But Muncy threw it so far up the first base line it makes that a really difficult catch and, what he thought would need to be, swipe for the play at home.

I just paused it on my tv to when Muncy gets the ball and starts to pivot.

Muncy’s throw isn’t great at all, but Smith is way out of position. Smith is outside of the left handed batters box (should have been in front of the plate). And what in god’s name is Jansen doing? He’s literally just hanging out between the mound and the third base line.

Muncy actually throws it to where Smith is at initially. Smith actually pivots and moved as Muncy released it. Rewatching it, that’s on Smith. He should have had his mask off too.

Yeah that’s bad. My guess would be Smith did not expect Muncy to cut the throw off from
Taylor and that’s where Taylor’s throw was taking Smith.

Every little league/travel ball parent/grandparent/umpire is thinking "been there, seen that."

Smith had moved into a position to back up the throw from the outfield.  He then had to recover.

So, I've given it overnight,  and still can't believe the ending to that game.  Wow.  Just an amazing game.  And the worst and best ending.  Haha.  Wow.

And something that could only happen in baseball happened.  The worst player on either roster came up in the biggest situation in the game, and was the hero.

Wrong.  Grandpa would have been yelling something incorrect.

Otherwise, spot on.   ;D

The bigger question is whywas Jansen no backing up the catcher?

Brain fart.  And it wouldn't have mattered unless Smith flung the ball right at him and Jansen's reflexes were such that he could catch the ball and either throw the ball back or win the race to home plate.

My thought was that he was going to back up 3rd until muncy booted it.  Then was caught in no mans land.

Thb, i didnt see how he came off the mound, but thats the only thing i can think of

Randy Arozarena, another day another record, amazing. Single Post Season Home Runs, Hits, now he has tied David Freese with most extra base hits in a single post season with 14.

The Cardinals wanted to move some right handed hitters for lefty pitching. Instead of moving Bader or O'Neill etc with Jose Martinez, they trade Arozarena for Matthew Liberatore.

Arozarena having a post season for the ages. He's hit at every level. Good for him. He has quite a story.

73 pitches.

Betts hit righties way better than lefties this year. Bring in Anderson who sets a record for giving up a run in 7 straight post season outings.
