proof that baseball mystifies me

[Ken Robb]

The other night the Dodger manager pulled a pitcher who was dominating Houston batters. Tonight their starting pitcher couldn't find the plate with a flashlight and a compass but they leave him in to serve batting practice throws to Houston batters. ***?

yup - managers can't win games but they definitely can loose them - Darvish just got the hook - finally!!

he has been lights out in that park when he pitched for Texas.
And all this post season.
Asros bats will beat Dodger arms.
Just watch.

I have been very impressed by the work of the home plate umps. I haven't watched EVERY pitch but I don't remember seeing a single batter that I thought got screwed by a bad call.

It looks like that could very well be the case.

Analytics.

Hill was going around the order for the third time and his pitches seemed to be less and less effective (tho he had 40 strikes through 60 thrown).

Dodgers were 98-0 when leading after 8 for a reason.

The World Series is so weird.

Oh, Doyers in 6.

So....How many at bats does Gurriel get before getting drilled?

I tried my best to watch the entire game last night but I couldn't make myself do it...it was too painful. The collective experience of listening to the incessant babble of Joe Buck, the seemingly endless pitching changes, repeat commercials, group spitting close ups and whatever, it took its toll on me. Baseball is best played at a community park with pickup teams and a charcoal grille accompanied by a 1/4 keg...wait, that's softball.

The Cubs sure got their hats handed to them.

Dodgers are going to show them how they can win with double digits.

Mark these words.
