People still watch first take?

you trying to make an enemy out of SAS?

 

[Choomp]

Woo! No deGrom = Dodger offense.

Clippard's been pretty shit dude, hope it's more that since he's coming out.

 

[Corran Horn]

People still watch first take?

You dont want to make me an enemy

edit: damnit

 

[DoktorEvil]

Fun fact: Familia is tied with Armando Benites for most saves in one year.

 

[Silkworm]

poop :-(

 

[Choomp]

And... Exhale. Please get an insurance run or two.

Mets are ahead by two. It's more than enough.

He can certainly pitch. But he's mediocre at best in the post-season. Against the Cards it's a joke actually to call him a sound choice.

he had two bad innings against the Cards.

That could be said for every freaking pitcher that loses games and allows runs.

the Dodgers have to score for him. that's it.. there is no more to argue. a pitcher gives you 6 shutdown innings you have to score more than one run.the other hitters are MLB caliber hitters too.

You know, now that I think about it, I can't think of any other team sport where W-L record is an official stat assigned to a single player.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Kershaw pitches against the best pitcher for a team everytime and gets 0 run support.

That doesnt happen to "every freaking pitcher"

0 is not exactly accurate.

and 1 run games happen. Game 2 in 2013 I believe vs. Wacha was just that. Sometimes you have to hold fort....and match pitch for pitch more or less.

We need to stop hiring Yankees affiliated people. Their corrupted.

 

[timetokill]

White Flag is on the mound.

 

[DoktorEvil]

If Syndergaard and Harvey match even half of deGrom's performance tonight, Games 2 and 3 are in the bag.

 

[Malo]

you trying to make an enemy out of SAS?

How is he still employed?

Worked out four the giants.

 

[lazybones18]

Bochy a ex Yankee?

Alright im on my phone so I cant make this as detailed as I'd like but i am gonna learn you something about pitching today.

pitching with run support and pitching without are fundimentally different. when you have run support, youre far more likely to pitch in, with a pitcher like Kershaw whos game revolves around his slider and hard curve, you work backwards and punch through the count. you are throwing junk in their sweet spot to induce weak contact or chance them getting a hold of one. when youre not you pitch them hard, constantly work out and attack, push out or to the edges to get strikeouts. Mets hitters werent paitient today they attacked all game. his walks were from pitching aggressively, so were his K's. if he had run support he wouldnt have had to attack so much. and as such wouldnt have as many walks.

Bochy a ex Yankee?

Are you still at the game?

 

[Malo]

Bochy a ex Yankee?

Sabean and Riggity are.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Are you still at the game?

Yes

 

[Rock And Roll]

Finish this off Mets. Jays screwed me today and I want to be up +80

 

[DoktorEvil]

 

[zychi]

How is he still employed?

Because people keep linking his schtick and watching his show. Every sports thread this week was talking about him.

Hockey says hi.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Bochy a ex Yankee?

Sabean, Dick Tidrow, and Righetti are the notable ex-Yanks that have made a major factor in how SF runs things.

That isn't relevant in many cases, teams come back and pound a pitcher on mid-late innings all the time, changing leads after having deficits. Specially with Kershaw in the post-season. Last year was a perfect example for the two games he pitched I believe.

 

[Frozenprince]

That isnt...

That is the BASICS 0F PITCHING.

 

[BumRush]

Huh? He just explained the relevance.

[richiek]

These ex-Phillies make me want to hurl.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Sabean and Riggity are.

So Halos have a chance with Eppel?

 

[DoktorEvil]

Rollins hasn't faced Familia much.

We're good.

 

[lazybones18]

nice save by Murphy

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Every year's postseason thread there's at least one troll who pops up, lol.

I don't know if any of the past ones aren't banned/permed at this point.

 

[BumRush]

Great play by Murph. He's become a much better defender over the years.

 

[DoktorEvil]

1 more brehs. It's happening!

 

[Frozenprince]

I mean that is literally the fundimental basis of pitching. I cant simplify it more than that.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Huh? He just explained the relevance.

And I am saying that it's not relevant all the time on the outcome of a game with starting pitchers, and specially with (relief pitching).

 

[Frozenprince]

METS WIIIIN. SOMEBODY HIT THE GIF

 

[NomarTyme]

Congratulations to degroom one hell of a pitcher. Fuck you donny baseball.

 

[GK86]

[Loco4Coco]

[Frozenprince]

And I am saying that's not relevant all the time on the outcome of a game with starting pitchers, and specially without (relief pitching).

Yes. It is.

 

[richiek]
