30 years ago today.  Goosebumps every time I watch it.  Worth watching the whole thing, and listening to Vinny marvel at the fact that Gibby has 2 bad limbs and can't favor either.

Best moment in baseball history in my lifetime.

There are two sporting events I just remember vividly after all these years -- Gibson taking Eck deep, and USA 4 USSR 3.

P J. Chacin R


LF Joc Pederson L

Not even trying to spin the humble on that brag.  Nor should you.  Well done. Sir.

without knowing the exact letter of the law (having to attempt a throw), that's some bush league bullshit x2 by machado.  although not super surprising.  if you're grabbing legs, i don't give a shit where your slide is going.

First one didn’t seem bad.  Looked incidental.  Second was illegal slide, no doubt.  

jam shot ground rule double with a 74 mph exit velocity - better get the bullpen up

Is Harry Potter on the organ new or have I just never noticed it before?

Bellinger looked like a first baseman tracking that one back

The rare 2-E play. And no it doesn’t, you fucking idiot, Buck. 

Holy shit, they really did give Turner a hit on that GB directly at Moose. That is fucking horseshit, should be an E to reach 1B & an E on the throw for 2nd.

Damn, the edit function around here fucking sucks. Apparently they scored it a 2-base E on the throw only, just neglected that he kicked it first. 

Isn't that the second time Yelich's baserunning has screwed Braun out of a hit in the last week?  Or am I just having deja vu?

Braun is kind of a dick. That’s the 2nd time this series he has shown exasperation with Yelich’s baserunning. Both times there was little Yelich could do.

Even with the kick, I think the throw would have had him if it had been on target.

I know it happened in the Rockies series

Using Hader when you have a 98% win probability. Lol.

Wonder if Buck has realized Turner’s postseason OBP didn’t go up yet?

If they're going to refuse to use him 2 days in a row, they were only going to use him in one of Game 4 or Game 5 anyway.  The downside is now you can't use him tomorrow if you need him.  He's locked into Game 5 now I guess.

Smoltz seems bothered that the Brewers don't rely on ace starters.  

Holy shit I don't need Buck questioning bullpen management for 15-20 minutes. Discuss the game in progress goddammit.

Counsell is baffling Smoltz with the unconventional way he uses his bullpen.  Every game he talks incredulously about the Brewers' starter/reliever situation.  

Pay attention Buck.  It's called a strikeout/throw out double play.

Braun is 100% a dick.   as he proved by all the lying and acting insulted when accused of taking steroids...which was ultimately proven true.   

I'm pulling for the Brewers, since it's been 35 years since they've won a WS, but every time i see Braun, I root a little less.

 

I actually thought the Dodgers had this series but after Counsell let Chacin pitch more than 5 innings I am decidedly less so. That is despite using Hader in another dumb situation

I don’t know why they would refuse to use him two days in a row unless he pitched multiple innings the first game. Even if he’s not 100% in his second outing, he would still be a valuable weapon.

I understand why they do it, I guess, but I really don't like watching it.  I think Smoltz feels the same way.

I don't think it's the best way to build a team even given their financial limits but they're about to be up 2-1 in the LCS so what do I know.

That's what they've been saying for quite awhile now, going back to the regular season, but since they didn't send him back out for the 9th, I think he's going to be available tomorrow.

He only faced what...two batters?   Pretty low stress outing, if you ignore the fact it's the 8th inning of the NLDS

Lulz, now Buck's going to start asking why he didn't leave Hader in.

Pretty silly to use him tonight with near zero leverage (0.2 pLI).  Almost guaranteed there will be much higher leverage spots to deploy him both tomorrow and the day after.
