This sordid clambake really is tits up.

Game 6 just finished up and no WS thread yet?

Or did I just miss it in the spam avalanche from pikkkle?

There has been one interesting thing.

A road win in EVERY game.

Has this ever been done before?

I know there have been all home wins, but I doubt this has ever happened. I suppose I might have to scrrape up enough interest to watch game 7.

Screw_Michigan · Post by **Screw_Michigan** » Wed Oct 30, 2019 12:19 pm

From what I heard that has not happened before.

This has been an absolutely overwhelming World Series. Total District dominance in the first two games to a Houston shit stomping in Games 3-5. My friend went to all three home games. All three losses. Which is why I don't overpay for sporting events anymore.

Remember when everyone cursed the Nats to hell in 2012 for benching Strasburg early? How did that turn out. 1.11 ERA, lowest playoff ERA in the modern era.

So sick and tired of these shit ballparks like in Houston with the short porches. Build real ballparks you douchebags.

Oh, and one sad thing: this series is on track to be the lowest rated WS ever. EVER. :x

God you are a mess even when it comes to a sports take. You might scrape up enough interest to watch game 7 of a series that has one interesting thing, but want to call others out for their lack of interest? You yourself said it is on track to be the lowest rated WS but this place is dying because there isn’t a thread about it that only has one interesting thing and requires you to scrape up interest to watch game 7?

:doh:

First time in any major American sport that the visitors have won the first six games of a series.

Can someone explain what LS is saying?

I didn't call anyone out. I did point out that the lack of a WS thread was a sign of this sordid clambake's being on life support. The fact that no one gives a fukk because it is Houston/Washington is a factor as well.

Anyhoo, go 'stros. I don't give a shit about them, but have a general rule of being against anything from DC, including sports teams.

I loved baseball as a kid.

It is now unwatchable.

The strike zone box is -----> an abortion x 1,000,000

After the controversial call at 1st base, the umpire was on the phone for many minutes???

On the fucking phone??

ummm...

Fuckin' kidding me?

All three major sports suck.
Hockey is fun live.
Tennis and golf have always sucked.
I watch euros on bike mostly.
No refs to fuck it up. No divas or flopping. Lots of carnage. Great “stadiums” with great views. Rain, snow, even dogs in the road. People two feet from the riders.
Very entertaining.

It is kind of fukked up that baseball allows pretty much whatever field dimensions teams want. And then teams shape their lineups to suit these dimensions. It would be like an NFL team deciding they have a weak passing game, so they'll go with an endzone that is 2 yards deep which favors run offenses.

Agreed. That was because back in the 100 years ago baseball was designing stadiums to fit in urban neighborhoods. Then they got away from building stadiums in urban neighborhoods and went to more standard 320-400-320 dimensions. But then the retro style came back into vogue and the owners liked being able to have quirky stadiums to have more offense and sell more tickets.

Baseball is fading because young people don't have the attention span for it and the older purists are losing interest because the sport is dumbing down to the extent that it's all about home runs and strike outs now. Very little small ball/situational baseball is being played anymore (though we've seen a little bit of that in this series). But that's not why this board doesn't care. This board doesn't care about anything that doesn't involve a "my political party is better than YOUR political party!" debate.

Well said.
I understand why building in urban neighborhoods is no longer viable due to the gutter rats being bad for the overall business model, etc...

Kids of past generations knew the statistics of the mick and bobby feller, the duke and willie,
Joe D and ted the splendid splinter. Then came video games. Then came the left.

I think this is generally correct but also--games are too long. All the World Series games have gone four hours. They won't even embrace the 20 sec pitch count. Make these pitchers get in a groove and force these batters to stay in the fukkin box instead of grabbing their crotches after every pitch.

It's an artificial limitation that makes baseball feel anachronistic.

Baseball is long and boring because it's supposed to be.
Turning it into BASEketball just makes it feel like a "Poochie" move.

It's either adapt the pitch count or reduce the number of commercials. Guess which they certainly won't do?
