2019 MLB postseason thread

Need Osuna to blow a game 7 save. I’d be so fucking glad if that happens.

 

Home team broadcasters do the game on the flagship radio station only. Stations on the network must pick up the national, in this case ESPN Radio, feed.

 

Makes me wonder what could have been had they pitched him in the 2012 postseason.

 

Not this post season performance. Hard to argue with the path they took.

 

This has been a strange ride for me, and thankfully at low stakes when it's all said and done.
Thought long and hard about putting a $20 bet on the Nats at 22-1 odds in early September but passed for various reasons.
Wound up putting a $10 bet on them at +300 after the Division Series for the hell of it.
Won an extra (small) throwaway bet on Game 2 that I cashed the ticket for today. Thought about hedging the Astros for tonight while I was there, but didn't because it was only Game 6, the Astros were -175, and it wasn't worth chasing the small amount I might win if the Nats did win tonight. Might should have bet the Nats at +160 but didn't do that, either. Dammit.
Now I won't be in town tomorrow to hedge in Game 7, so it's ride or die time.

When I think of how close the Nationals have been to elimination so many times in this postseason, only to find a crazy way to pull it out -- the wild card game, the NLDS, and now the World Series -- I'm kind of glad it's playing out this way. I'll be disappointed if my little $10 bet ($40 if it wins) doesn't pay off after getting this close. But if I'd had $440 riding on one game I'd be a nervous wreck tomorrow night.
I'd also be making a special two-hour round trip to the casino to hedge the shit out of that thing.

 

That was always the argument against it. They had a good chance that year, and you never know how many of those you'll get or when the next one will be. And it did take seven years for that decision to fully pay off.

 

How does Turner touch 1B in that play without interfering according to the rule?

 

It also worked out for Strasburg’s health and bank account.

 

Since when? Or is this another one of baseball's dipshit unwritten rules?

 

Seems as if they were thinking that Stras could get them two outs tomorrow night.

 

Since that's the rule.

In this case, based on what the broadcast said, the umps weren't reviewing the call. They were seeing if the game could be played under protest. So he's mad at tge call and the fact he has no recourse if they would have lost.

 

Never heard that it's a rule the manager can't argue a replay, especially when he was on the losing end of the replay.
