World Series: Mets vs Royals - Part 2

[robert terwilliger]

seriously, pinning that on duda is just irresponsible.

harvey shouldn't have been out there and wright should have let flores take the play. pinning a play like that on your average at the very best first baseman making a difficult throw that he's rushed into is just bad.

The Giants have won 3 World Series in 5 years. They arent lucky.

No they aren't.


(reminds me....on the Pens board there there is a small group of posters that claim the main thing that the Chicago Blackhaws have over the Penguins, since '09, is luck, I kid you not.....Hahaha)

Not on a play you're trying to keep a runner at 3rd. That's a slow dribbler with Perez running. Hosmer got that extra lead due to no one keeping him on.

He would have been gunned down anyways if Duda can make a half decent throw. For all we know if Wright backs off for all we know it confuses Flores and the ball gets through and the situation becomes worse.

[Halladay]

Of course they are an incredible team, but you have to have some luck on your side to in the postseason to win championships.

Of curse every team that win a championship needs some luck. Im not sure how the Royals or Giants have been luckier than others. Both have great bullpen's and play great defense.

Free baseball.

1- that was not a routine play for duda who is not a good defensive first baseman.
2- flores was cut off by wright, he was in position to make the play and would have been facing the runner at third. it would have taken away hosmer's ability to break when wright turned his back to finally make the throw.

 

[Loosie]

How many innings do we go tonight?

 

[PG Canuck]

time for more royals magic

Flores was right there to make the play.

Duda shouldn't have had to make a throw. Hosmer doesn't run if Wright makes the (w)right play.

 

[TootooTrain]

Duda didn't even have to make a strong throw home to get Hosmer. All he had to do is get it there.

 

[illpucks]

More clutch....Royals or Toews?

 

[robert terwilliger]

that went from a routine play to a complicated one once wright cut the ball off and basically forced duda's hand to make a defensive play that he's not capable of making.

 

[TootooTrain]

"**** you Gordon"

lmao

That's how people greet eachother in Philly.

 

[JS19]

Nasty.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

No they aren't.

Saying the Giants aren't lucky is truly absurd. That doesn't mean they didn't deserve to win, but chance has a large impact on professional sports, otherwise the "better" team would win every game.

Toews has 3 Cups and a plethora of Gold Medals. And a mastery of 3 on 3 OT. Royals still don't have a title. Easy.

When all the pressure is on you as a fielder, a routine throw can become that. That throw never happens if Wright has more situatonal awareness and trusts his ss.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

I mean, adrenaline and panic are real. That's why aggressive plays like Hosme made can work. He should have never had the opportunity.

 

[Loosie]

Two out bunt not a bad play? WTF?

 

[TootooTrain]

This is all predicated on Hosmer not running. Which I'm not certain was a sure thing.

I agree about the pressure in that scenario.

 

[JS19]

Escobar biting hard.

with a fielder looking at him i think it would have been different.

 

[RockLobster]

Escobar biting hard.

Yeah, not a good at bat. Royals have their chance here if they can get to the 11th.
