Stanton stealing a base is more impressive than 50/50

Too many Yankees haters in the broadcasting booth. I don’t expect announcers to be pro Yankee but Costas and Smoltz make it a point to prove they are against them.

Put that in the Ohtani thread.

I am glad I don’t have to work any Mbraves games as I would much rather watch playoff MLB baseball. It’s a catch 22 between sleep for work or missing the end of a tight exciting game. I just can’t go to bed with the games outcome hanging in the balance.

This I agree with wholeheartedly seems like they are all stepping up.

It would be great if we didn't have activities or appointments recently where I could stay up and watch the games and then car pool with my wife the next morning and sleep in the car. We just have too much going in right now that Monday is the only day we car pooled and it might be just Monday and Friday next week.

If the Yankees vaunted offense (AKA 3rd in runs scored in the regular season) did anything, he would easily have had a win.

Yes I thought he pitched a great game he gave them more than I expected. He limited the Royals and gave the inept offense a chance to win a game in which they only scored 3 runs. They will need more than that tonight.

The responses would be hilarious.

Yes being semi retired I can stay up till whenever. When I used to work the 6 am to 6 pm shift for the ambulance company there were plenty of mornings where I found myself saying I should’ve went to bed earlier. It’s not like with today’s coverage you can’t get up and see everything you missed.

So does Cole finally show he is worthy of being an ace tonight.

Topps NOW!

Has to have one 3 hits game winning home run and a stolen base, if he were Ohtani he might even get 2.

Like I said in the Topps Now thread, Topps should have purhased second base from the game last night and did Stanton stolen base relics.

Or a whole card set.

It really feels like they were in the wrong roles all year. Like Cole got the closer job because it was his turn rather than that being what he's good at.

It’s not like it wasn’t a big deal as who knows when Stanton’s next stolen base will happen.

I looked up baseball savant, his sprint speed is 3rd percentile. Now I need to figure out who is slower.

Paul Casey

Wow, Rizzo is actually slower.

I would not have guessed that.

[JRX]

Stanton is third slowest from HP to 1B, that sounds about right.

Speaking of Rizzo will he be back if they make it to the next round.

It’s painful watching him get thrown out at first when you know almost anybody else would’ve been safe.

Do we want him back? He's mostly good now-a-days for getting hit by pitch.
