2020 MLB postseason thread

It sounds like that is a relatively normal timeline for receiving results.



All this is like if the earthquake had happened at the end of the '89 Series instead of before Game 3. Congrats to the Dodgers. Champagne ain't the only thing that's going up your nose tonight.

 

There was a Giants-Padres game late in the season that was called as the teams were doing final warmups after Alex Dickerson tested positive. Turned out to be a false positive and the game was made up in San Francisco.

 

Wearing an earpiece to drown out all that crowd noise, you think? Nah, I'm not buying it. And, frankly, I'm not ruling out that he was bombed in that Pittsburgh clip.

I've done my fair share of broadcast work a few moons ago (radio, mostly), including wearing headsets such as the one he wore in the Pittsburgh clip and it didn't cause me to slur my words and speak so deliberately as he did. I flubbed sentences and such, to be sure. But nothing like he sounded tonight. Not to mention how bleary-eyed he appeared.

I've listened to the guy on WFAN in New York a bunch of times, seen him hand out WS trophies, and he never sounded like he did tonight (or in that Pittsburgh clip).

 

I think he’s a great guy and great in the clubhouse and lousy in the dugout. He did get better this year, keeping a more consistent lineup.

It still seems like he pulls pitchers too soon or too late. Other than game 4, his moves worked in the World Series, even if they seemed dumb at the time.

 

Has he ever worn protection?

 

The '86 Mets celebrated the same way.

 

Cash took on that role tonight. The only people who thought it was a good idea to pull Snell after 70 pitches were in the other dugout. Oh, and fuck Kevin Cash.

 

Or lucked turned there way.

 

Cmon, it’s worked all year for them. Can we now list the thousands of times teams have left pitchers in to long?

 

And now they let Turner on the field and be in the team picture.

 

He did the same before introducing Dodgers leadership on the podium. He also rocked back on his heels at least twice and his eyes looked a bit blood shot.

Maybe you're right and it was reverb or something. His speech pattern was so different — slurred and delayed — than I've ever heard from him, I'm comfortable thinking he's had too much to drink. No biggie either way, but I thought it was funny.
