OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Sell the Team

[Winger for Hire]

Baez is a goddamn joy to watch

 

[wheelz87]

Defensively, yes. The guy is also a complete tool.

 

[Winger for Hire]

The guy is also a complete tool.

How so?

Because he has fun?

 

[Clare2904]

I don't know enough about the game and players history etc to fully understand. I like Rizzo and was happy when they won the WS, even stayed up till daft o'clock.

Hope the Dodgers win now

 

[TNT87]

Charlie Morton wins Game 7 of the ALCS.

Go Astros.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Good for Chuck. He deserves it after the cap he put up with in Pittsburgh.

 

[Brandinho]

It doesn't bother me to see Morton succeed because his problems here were mostly injury related. It's just a shame we only got this version of him once in 7 seasons.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

I always liked Ground Chuck, so I'm happy to see him have success. As Brandinho said, most of his problems with the Bucs were injury-related. When healthy he was usually a damn solid middle-of-the-rotation type, he just was so rarely healthy that he didn't have a fair chance to be worth what he was paid those final couple years.

I don't hate either of these franchises and no matter what a beloved former Bucco will win a ring, so this is an oddly decent World Series match-up for me.

Damn, I bummed I missed the game last night.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Charlie Morton dealing against a stacked lineup in Game 4 of the World Series. Surreal.

 

[Penguins23]

What a ball game it was last night apparently. Wish I could have watched it.

I love seeing Morton succeed. Not sure why people wouldn't. In this series, all all the pitcher to pitch over 2 innings, Morton and Watson have the best ERAs.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Looks like the Phillies are going to hire Gabe Kapler. That's a very good hire and wish the Pirates would have jumped on him, but good guy Clint is here for the long haul. Maybe Joe McEwing will be ready for a managerial position by the time Clint is gone.

 

[Winger for Hire]

In case anyone missed it- Tony Watson has 2 World Series wins.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

I'm officially bored of home runs

 

[Winger for Hire]

I'm just happy we're seeing two teams that love to play the game.

 

[TNT87]

It was meant to go to a Game 7.

 

[td_ice]

One more run in and you gotta take Darvish out.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Darvish is making his own stock plummett. Doing a Jeff Locke impression. Everything either way off or right down the middle. Terrible pitching at the worst time possible.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Darvish may have just prices himself into the Pirates' rotation

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

You KNOW that Liriano is pitching in relief in Game 7 of the World Series

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Kind of a random thought here but is there a more annoying player than Brian McCann? Endless trips to the mound combined with his sanctimonious attitude about what constitutes "the right way" to play the game.

He seems to have lightened up on the "right way" BS, which you'd kind of have to to play on the same team as Correa, Altuve, and Springer, but yeah the mound visits are awful. Between him and Gurriel it's tough to root for the Astros but I'm doing it baby.

 

[ColePens]

Ground Chuck is a beast.

 

[td_ice]

Ground Chuck on the mound and ready to close out game 7 and the World Series.


Way to go Charlie.

 

[Smoke]

I knew Morton had good stuff, but this is impressive. I hope he pulls it off.
