the House of the Dragon ad they just did on the TBS broadcast is maybe the most insulting in-game promo I've ever seen

[Bertz]

I hate Bob Costas so horsefeathering much

[SpongeWorthy]

i don’t think the cubs hit a good pitch as hard as turner just did in all the years they were making the playoffs

That was so, so cringy bad.

It was so reassuring to know we're paying sideline reporters to do horsefeathering ads for HBO during the game instead of, you know, actually reporting on something.

Sideline reporters offer useful information?

Whatever was wrong with Josh Hader looks fixed.

Whatever was wrong with Josh Hader looks fixed.

 

You think so? He seemed a little wild and gave up a really hard hit double by Freeman.

He hit that right after I posted.

 

Still, it was 99 mph right at the top of the zone. Freddie Freeman is one of about 20 humans in history who could have turned that into a double.

Davis is the only one in the top 11 positive CPA plays whose team did not win the title. The next-most positive play that did not ultimately result in a title was a game-tying two-run double in the 8th by the Red Sox' Dom DiMaggio in Game 7 of the '46 World Series against St. Louis, which was bettered by #13 on the list, Harry Walker's game-winning hit in the bottom of that same inning.

I remember some of the 1991 World Series but I did not remember that in the 8th inning of a scoreless game 7 both teams had the bases loaded and 1 out and both hit into double plays to end the inning. That much have been a nerve-wracking game for both fan bases.

That game 7 was unreal. First World Series as a kid I watched from game 1 to game 7.

It's definitely the first World Series I remember watching. I don't remember the Reds/A's series at all but remember Puckett's HR in game 6 and Jack Morris in Game 7. I can still hear the CBS theme in my head.

Kind of crazy that the Phillies have played 14 straight road games - the first of which was the start of their sweep at the hands of the Cubs. 6 game scheduled road trip, 3 game series moved from the beginning of the season to the end, 2 WC round games, now Games 1-2 of the NLDS.

Mariners fans right now

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Letting Jeremy Peña reach with 2 outs continues to kill the Mariners.

[UMFan83]

Well at least the Mariners get a home playoff game

[UMFan83]

Hope Cleveland can close this out in the bottom of the 10th to make this a series.

[Bertz]

Hang that Rhys Hopkins bat slam in the Louvre. God damn!
