Oh f*** is this gonna go 18 innings now?

Talk about poetic justice!! Wroblewski clocked by a comebacker!

I don’t think Wroblewski was trying to hit the number nine hitter, but it does show that he’s nearly out of gas. This is probably a break for him so he can catch his breath, but he might be all wound up, too. If I’m Roberts, I’m getting him out of there soon as I can.

Normally I would be sympathetic to that kind of ting, but it’s Game 7, man. Stopping running halfway to first base because you’re hurt is, frankly, not acceptable. If you’re that hurt, then you’re hurting the team while youre in the game, so come out of the game. But if you’re in the game—this game—play the game.

Man can you believe Verducci trying to horn in on Dave Roberts with questions while he’s in the middle of making decisions during the seventh game of the World Series? That’s is absolutely offensive.

Two things: (1) big leaguers don’t just give up on the bases; (2) it’s Game 7 of the World freaking Series. He has five months to heal.

Now they have to go to the pen, a guy who threw 16 pitches yesterday. That’s how fragged that Dodgers bullpen is. You can’t say this game is over, but if Wroblewski can’t stop the bleeding here, it probably is over.

Why did Springer just give up on the bases! 🤬

As much as I no longer claim Verlander for Detroit, I claim Max even less. He is most definitely going into the Hall wearing the curly W.

By the way ... Assigning the byline to an assistant nobody makes it easy to fire her if any **** hits the fan from this.

She seems nice.

First step toward full deputization.

Noted. Point being, I don’t buy the idea that journalism is cooked as a concept and the MSM news merely engages in leftist diatribe the same way Fox engages in right wing diatribe. If you find any instances of that, please share it, because I don’t see it. And again, MSNBC and op-eds don’t count.

My hypothesis here on Saturday morning is that Ohtani will start the game for the Dodgers, go one time through the order, then they bring Glasnow back in for what they hope is the rest of the game. And if Glasnow gets in trouble late, maybe they bring in Snell for the ninth. Point being, Dodgers will want to avoid bringing in their bullpen as much as possible. And then, win or lose, the main thing we’re going to hear all winter is, how are the mighty Dodgers going to fix their bullpen? EDIT: And then I find an article filed overnight contemplating that very thing: https://www.mlb.com/news/shohei-ohtani-world-series-game-7-2025-pitching-role Looks like everybody was thinking the same thing. So much for clairvoyance. 🤡

It also depends on whether the hitter is right or left handed. Sliders heading for the LHB box’s corner and diving out of the zone at the last millisecond in the same way tend to get called strikes on right handed batters and balls on left handed hitters.

Or maybe more than we think. Who knows.

That’s exactly it. These are betting odds, not objective assessments of the relative strengths of teams and organizations versus one another. It’s a prediction of how the mob bets today.

The conservatives are no longer in control of that Party. It’s White Nationalist Socialism now.

They were prevented from releasing the files by a judge’s order. Trump explicitly ran on releasing the Epstein files and now is quashing it. Cab you explain that?

Not for nothing, their healthcare is safe.

Because it’s a challenge system, not fully robo umpires, so catchers will still frame to get border calls and dare the batter to call for a challenge, putting the batter at risk of being wrong and losing a challenge for his team.

Jinx 😉

Apparently, they’ve calculated that more people are winning to bet on Baltimore to win than Detroit.
