November 3, 20214 yr Multiple swings at shit well outside the zone ain't on the pitching staff either

You don't think a decent starter could have won Game 1 and change the entire tone of the series? 3-2 Game 4 wasn't winnable with a decent starter? You really think this isn't a different game if we aren't starting a guy who pitched 2 days ago and Fried doesn't have the stress relief of a big lead? As to not scoring in Game 3, are you too young to remember Jack Morris's Game 7 in 1991? Most World Series usually have some sort of pitcher's duel game. Lack of quality starters and the bullpen mostly performing well but ultimately overused is THE story of our 2021 WS. The old adage is still true, pitching wins more titles than hitting.

November 3, 20214 yr Fucking baseball, man. It’s looking like it’s time to celebrate the season for what it was…

And proves my point, bats can go cold. You usually need enough quality pitching to overcome that. We're playing the hottest team from the NL this series. They're good right now. And not every pitcher is going to be great all series. It's a team game. But you usually need enough balance.

The old adage is still true, pitching wins more titles than hitting.Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some opinions are wrong. Blaming Click for not trading for 1991 Jack Morris is the funniest non-monkey related post I’ve seen on this site today.Coming into the playoffs, Click absolutely looked like he did not do enough to fix our bullpen, but then all of his dudes ended up dominating. That can’t be discounted. Nor can the loss of Lance. I even made a post about how dumb it was to pitch Urquidy last game, but that doesn’t matter. We lost this at the plate, period.
November 3, 20214 yr I will still enjoy the fact that we shit in the Red Sox’ cereal bowls again. But three backward Ks in the bottom of the 8th of an elimination game… oof.
November 3, 20214 yr Well, sucks the ride ends in this way. But it was fun experiencing it with y’all magnificent bastards.

That wasn't what I said or anything close to the point I was making. Which you know, just a dumb Twitter/CR style response, so I won't spell it out again.
November 3, 20214 yr C’mon boys. Give us one more chance to cheer for you this inning. We don’t need a big rally. Just one thing to cheer.
November 3, 20214 yr We're supposed to think the Braves going 26 years between championships in a 30 team league is notable?
November 3, 20214 yr Just now, Guadaloopy said: Looks like a lot of people still in the stands. Good to see. I'm gonna keep watching. Will relish scapegoating Manfred getting booed by every ticket buyer in attendance. And maybe see if Correa and/or Dusty puts on a Boras Inc hat....
November 3, 20214 yr Just now, WBT said: Damn thought that was out off the bat. At least he's going the other way. Honestly, I thought it was off the wall so we were both wrong
November 3, 20214 yr Three teams have won the World Series in Minute Maid and none of them Astros. Maybe one day.
November 3, 20214 yr Great season, great team, great memories. Great era. Let's hope for a great offseason.
