Miracles can occur!

Damn, had a few hangers but fouled them straight back.

Damn, that was the pitch he needed to hit.

Can we (for lack of a better word) get one guy on? You know, at least make it interesting.

35K/3BB this year for Barnes, absurd.

Nice D keeps it a 1 run game.

Double steal, just brilliant.

Hanging breaking ball middle-in to their best hitter.

Your F'ing kidding me! Come on man, you got to better than that... you got to better than that!

That's happening to me too.

Come on, seriously?

Big K on 3-2!

Never easy.

3-2 Jays!

According to ESPN win probability: Bases loaded 1 out with Judge up: Yankees 78.4%... after DP Yankees 57.5%.

Contgrats to the Dodgers for winning the WS. So much heartbreak year after year, it's great they finally got it done. And with that, the 2020 Season comes to a close. I hope you guys had fun (I know I did), and I'll see you guys next year.

And with that I'm done talking about it. Not trying to be mean or anything, but I feel the topic has been beaten to death now.

In the last 6 appearances Anderson has allowed at least a run. He's had 17 runners on during that span. In the last 9.2 IP he's allowed 7 runs. This is too dangerous to play with in a 1 run game in the WS, which by the way you will get eliminated if you lose. And don't bring up his 0.55 ERA in the regular season. He is not that guy right now.

Morton was pitching well (Go look at his pitching line from that game). And the said inning question went like this: K, BB, Fielder's Choice, Infield hit. Not like he was struggling. As for Anderson coming in and getting the out, yes he did. And what happened the next inning he pitched? Line out to Center, Single to Deep Right, Single to Right Center. He did get the DP after that but was lucky not to give up any runs. So what if this had happened 1 batter earlier (remember there was already 2 runners on when they lifted Morton)? At least 2 runs would have scored and then it's 3-2. I'm not saying it's farfetched to argue that putting Anderson in was a defensible move. But you have to remember he wasn't in mid season form (he had give up a run in 3 straight appearances, his WHIP was increasing, and his K levels were dropping). He was fortunate things worked out. And now to on to this game. Blake Snell 5.2 IP 2 H 0 BB's and 9K's on and you take him out after a lousy single (which was the 2nd hit of the night)? I'm sorry, I'm not pulling him there. And if you were to pull him, why would you put in Anderson who has (God I'm tired of repeating this) allowed a run in 6 straight appearances (9.2 IP) and has a 6.52 ERA during that span? It doesn't make sense.

Justin Turner has COVID.

Dodgers win the WS! (damn it!).

I've already covered that. Look at my post.

Not surprising Jansen isn't in there.

He was amazing during the regular season, no question. But he's given up runs in the last 6 outings. In last 9.2 innings he's had 16 base runners on. SSS or not, the risks are too great to put him in a 1 run game in the WS. I'm sorry, this is the wrong move.

He was freaking "on!" this game. You can't compare this to a normal start. And even if you did want to go to the bullpen, there are plenty of better choices than Anderson.
