oh well there is still a bottom of the 9th where it will either be davis in a situation that isn't ideal for a guy that hasn't pitched this much in a long time or someone else.

it's far from over.

 

[tapedeck]

You couldn’t see clearly if the glove was still on him, I’m fucking amazed they overturned that.

 

[thefro]

Thats an LOL moment, but unless the Cubs score 5 Runs here in the 9th... I don't like the odds of throwing a shutout inning for Lackey or Wilson

Lackey has residual Satanic Cardinals magic

 

[M.W.]

Baseball was better off without instant replay.

No

 

[LJ11]

The real question is wtf is Lobamoron doing?

 

[Doogdogg]

Harper will bat in the 9th.

 

[Mrbob]

Dusty gif needs to be the one thing remembered from this series. Wade get your head out of your ass and get these last three outs.

 

[clemenx]

what, this is exactly why it is used

Nope. This "oh he lifted the foot off the bag for a nanosecond thanks to the recoil of the slide" is bulshit.

 

[gamz]

Thats an LOL moment, but unless the Cubs score 5 Runs here in the 9th... I don't like the odds of throwing a shutout inning for Lackey or Wilson

Or Wade.

 

[Choomp]

Wader is toast. I can’t see him making it through another inning

 

[Lambtron]

Nope. This "oh he lifted the foot off the bag for a nanosecond thanks to the recoil of the slide" is bulshit.

Yeah, I'm a proponent of replay but I fucking loathe these calls.

 

[teepo]

this city is fucking cursed

 

[Windu]

So bottom of ninth.

Werth - final at bat as national?
Harper
Zimmerman

 

[leroidys]

Nope. This "oh he lifted the foot off the bag for a nanosecond thanks to the recoil of the slide" is bulshit.

Yep

 

[Jopie]

So bottom of ninth.

Werth - final at bat as national?
Harper
Zimmerman

Single, walk, home run. Game.

 

[nnex]

So if you want a runner's foot to come off the bag, just slap him in the dick with your glove.

 

[mjp2417]

Nope. This "oh he lifted the foot off the bag for a nanosecond thanks to the recoil of the slide" is bulshit.

I agree with this, but replay is a net benefit for virtually every other possible call

 

[shwimpy]

So bottom of ninth.

Werth - final at bat as national?
Harper
Zimmerman

against Lackey? popcorn.gif

 

[jman2050]

There needs to be a rule stating that momentary pops off the bag don't count as being off the base.

 

[darkside31337]

So bottom of ninth.

Werth - final at bat as national?
Harper
Zimmerman

They just gotta give Murphy another AB and he'll save their season

 

[J2 Cool]

Big balls Contreras

 

[AnimeFantasy]

I'd hate to be the Champaign guys for this game... where do you put it.

 

[Windu]

Baseball was better off without instant replay.

God no. I don't want to live in that world anymore.

 

[Josh5890]

They are just gonna drop it on the mound and go home

 

[mjp2417]

There needs to be a rule stating that momentary pops off the bag don't count as being off the base.

Once you establish contact with the base, you are allowed to have any part of your body over top of the base, or something to that effect

Hope they look at that in the offseason.

RT @wmata: Update for #Nationals fans: Last train times now 1:00AM from Navy Yard Sta, both directions. (That’s the latest we can go.) Go Nats! #wmata

Insult to injury

 

[mightynine]

Goddammit Baez

 

[Windu]

Nope. This "oh he lifted the foot off the bag for a nanosecond thanks to the recoil of the slide" is bulshit.

Learn to slide better.

 

[Mrbob]

Baez lol Jesus.

 

[friskykillface]

Best swing

 

[LJ11]

Hahahahaha

what in the world

 

[TheCochese]

Cubs have a plane to catch apparently.

 

[jman2050]

Once you establish contact with the base, you are allowed to have any part of your body over top of the base, or something to that effect

Or maybe once you establish contact you must make a clear motion away from the base to count as being off it. So stuff like sliding past the bag would still be correctly called.

Insult to injury

Probably from the backlash they got for not doing it last year.

 

[Malo]

Harper dinger incoming.

 

[shwimpy]

and here we go...

 

[A-V-B]

Fine job by Doolittle.

 

[Raziel]

Time for the Nats to swing at every first pitch and get themselves out in 10 pitches.

 

[Syphon Filter]

here we go, come on nats!

 

[jman2050]

All we need is a 20-minute bottom of the inning to pass Yankees-Red Sox

that's alright, after the nats tie it up the game will last until the morning trains anyways

 

[dickroach]

the chokiest bunch of chokers that ever choked... down by 1. bottom of the 9th. elimination game
...I just can't see it happening

 

[Josh5890]

So who's pitching

 

[JohnTinker]

How many pitchers does Maddon have left to use? That's how many he will use. And Schwarber.

 

[mjp2417]

Learn to slide better.

It's a cheap, gimmicky thing that is not in the spirit of how baseball has ever been played and has no discernible benefit to the game. Really has nothing to do with sliding better.

 

[A-V-B]

So who's pitching

Impossibly, Aroldis Chapman.

 

[thefro]

There needs to be a rule stating that momentary pops off the bag don't count as being off the base.

If you can't slide back to the bag without popping off the base your lead is too big.

Lots of players have no problem sliding over the bag with their body and maintaining contact with the base through the tag.

 

[leroidys]

Impossibly, Aroldis Chapman.

Ah, the rarely used NL triple switch.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Been saying this all along. This shit is terrible. It has happened to the Cubs a few times this year and never feels good.
