maybe this is revenge for fox calling the alcs game 6 early

The Greg Abbott curse has returned

 

[3N16MA]

3 blown games late in the WS.

 

[Schattenjäger]

You need "playoff experience" to know not to make boneheaded errors?

No .. Some of guys still have playoff jitters

 

[jman2050]

Kinda make you take a guy like him for granted. Crazy how automatic he was. He wasn't perfect--Diamondbacks and Red Sox, but man was he on point.

Don't forget Cleveland.

Mariano Rivera is the greatest postseason closer ever and even he blew the 2001 World Series. It happens, it's baseball.

I'm sure most pitchers expect their defense to not play like total shit behind them too.

 

[Frozenprince]

I am not used to this...

Ignoring 2001

 

[esmith08734]

Man, Lucas Duda is terrible. Hosmer was 4 steps out with a throw that didn't resemble a Little League right fielder's..

Only he already had a great postseason record at that point. It wasn't like he blew a save in his first time out there.

Ignoring 2001

That was rough, but it evens out pretty well in the end.

 

[Frozenprince]

You cant just ignore the two errors

I think the best part about him is that's he's fucked up that bad and still proved the be the best reliever in history. 2001 was all on him, still the GOAT

Even if D'arnold caught that in his chest I highly doubt he gets that tag in time still. If it was close to where the slide was executed than yes since he would have less area to cover. Still should have been a better throw to give your catcher a change at a play

if he took his time hosmer would have been safe as he is pretty fast.
it's why it wasn't ruled an error.

Hosmer challenged him, and he wasn't up for the challenge.

No .. Some of guys still have playoff jitters

Errors happen all the time, regular season or playoff. I have a hard time believing that "playoff jitters" are a thing, especially for vets like Murphy or Duda.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I feel bad for Familia, he made his pitches but the defense let him down again.

Game 1 blown save was all on him though.

 

[Tragicomedy]

Hochevar and not Davis? Yost gonna Yost.

 

[Kuroyume]

Come on Mets plz pllllllllllllllllzzzzz

 

[Wellscha]

I believe in Hoch.

 

[Choomp]

This one wasn't his fault though. He did fine.

Please win it here

Oh yes. I think I forgot that series since I was so upset. Freaking Omar Vizquel and Manny in his prime. Too damn good.

Vets that have never been in a World Series let alone playoffs

 

[JDHarbs]

Hochevar and not Davis? Yost gonna Yost.

Saving him if we take the lead.

 

[baxter2231]

Someone hit one out pleaseeeeee (on the Mets)

 

[jman2050]

I love how managers still don't bring out their closers on the road in tie games, as if pitching in a tie game is easier than pitching with a lead.

It's the dumbest thing that has no justification, especially in the playoffs.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Vets that have never been in a World Series let alone playoffs

But they've played baseball, a lot, which is what they are doing. Stuff like "playoff experience" just feels like needing a way to explain away the fact that a guy made an error, because in baseball sometimes guys make errors, whether it's during the regular season, spring training or even in the World Series.

 

[3N16MA]

Girardi would have put out Betances and Miller for 6 innings combined.

 

[baxter2231]

Bright side is the Mets cant possibly blow another lead in this game

 

[lazybones18]

Believe in the Walk-Off HR

 

[Tragicomedy]

Saving him if we take the lead.

Six outs. Hell, nine if he has to.

 

[jmaine_ph]

This game has really been The Dark Knight vs The Suicide Squad (Hosmer being the Joker)

 

[DangerMouse]

He is public enemy number one in The War On Fun In Sports.

No bat flips
No touchdown celebrations
Joe Buck's lifeless announcing
Etc.

Sports = serious business is the worst

No touchdown celebrations is a common complaint thing?

Eh, I've hated hearing Buck forever. And it has nothing to do with team you root for either, example the Mets haven't even been in the playoffs for a while and I still can't stand him in the inbetween years. Even when you have no one in a competition that you're rooting for he's terrible.

 

[FTF]

Just win tonight Mets, that's all I ask. Not expecting to win series, just win tonight though.

 

[jman2050]

Joe Buck ruined the greatest catch in Super Bowl history, he can just piss off for all I care.

Seriously what the hell is this? How tonedeaf do you have to be?

Link?

 

[J2 Cool]

Conforto walk off in incoming

 

[GK86]

Where did that miss?

 

[entremet]

Just win tonight Mets, that's all I ask. Not expecting to win series, just win tonight though.

Yeah. Same. Not a Mets fan, but i'm rooting for them. I always hate when teams win title games on the road.

It's a heartbreaker for the home fans.

 

[Prodigal]

Where did that miss?

Inside

 

[Kintaco]

What's more fun to watch, home team winning the series and seeing the fans celebrate or away team winning the series and seeing the heartbroken fans?

 

[DangerMouse]

Down the middle again. This offense couldn't hit a beach ball.

 

[Kuroyume]

Shut the fuck up Harold

 

[MetatronM]

Pinch hit home run. Do it.

 

[shem935]

2nd one sounds pretty good.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Whew, close one. Comforto almost had that.

 

[DangerMouse]

Whew, close one. Comforto almost had that.

It was a too hittable pitch to hit so he missed it.

 

[Lexxism]

wtf Kelly Johnson

 

[GK86]

No life in the bats.

 

[Agent_Carnage]

Will this go another 14 innings again....

Im getting tired and wanna wake up tomarrow to watch tonights episode of the walking dead.

 

[esmith08734]

Lorenzo Cain is going deep.

 

[FTF]

Sigh...just waiting for the pain of another brutal loss.

 

[Wellscha]

Hochevar and not Davis? Yost gonna Yost.

Repent, ye unbeliever.
