These games take too long.

 

Crazy that they've been playing for almost three hours and they're only in the top of the 7th.

 

How is will these long games draw in new fans?

 

It's so dumb that they don't start an hour earlier.

Not sure why I deleted it... but rather than ask a question, I simply typed "horsefeathers the west coast".

It's a real shame the dugout isn't still around bc I'd love to see a chat convo between GiveAMouseAMookie and BenintendiConsequences

 

We would have also accepted "SuperBenintendiChalmers."

I found myself rooting for the Dodgers last night, but I think it was just residuals from the Milwaukee series.

 

Both teams have fun players. I guess we want the Red Sox to win but I'm tired of Boston winning stuff. They were kind enough to beat the Cardinals in 04 and 13, I guess.

I'm cool with either team winning. I'd probably narrowly prefer Boston because they're young and pretty fun, but for whatever longtime fans LA has, getting their first title in 30 years would be kinda cool too.

I found myself consistently rooting for whichever team was up to bat, which is a wonderful way to watch a baseball game. The first 5-6 innings were an absolute joy

Dave Roberts, bullpen wizard, has used Ryan Madson in the highest leverage spots the last two games.

 

Dave Roberts, lineup wizard, sat his top home run hitters for the first two games because god forbid they face lefties

Muncy, Bellinger and Pederson combined for a whopping 15 HR vs LHP. Bellinger had a .681 OPS vs LH and Pederson had a .512.

Dave Roberts, baserunning wizard, is throwing this series because he is a Red Sox at heart and feels the nostalgia from 2004.

How did sitting those guys work out for him?

There’s an alternate universe where Roberts started all three guys in both games, they went a combined 1-14 with 8 Ks off Sale and Price and lost all three games, and alternate universe Derwood is laughing at Roberts for not starting righties instead.
