So now that the bats came alive, can we go back to talking about the format and Fried pitching for the first time in 18 days and what a handicap that was? Asking for a friend. Speaking of handicaps, now we have to fret about what dumbassery our managering guy is going to pull next, like starting Smith-Shawver maybe in game 3. Elder has sucked a lot lately, but it feels like you have to take your chances with him or just go full bullpen game.....and I don't know how many of those guys I feel comfortable with.
It's beyond my comprehension, as is the case with so many idiotic things that Snitker pulls, how Smith-Shawver wasn't up with the big club making some starts the last month or two if there was ANY chance he was going to be on the playoff roster.
But this is Sargent Potato Head's chance to rekindle his full retard moves of 2021 when he started Davidson and Lee in World Series games when they had something like a combined 4 innings pitched in the big leagues.

That was beautiful. The homer, the Harris catch, the Riley play. The drama. This game is why we love baseball. At its best, no other sport comes close for my money. Amazing This is one of those games where if you didn't have a dog in this fight and were just a baseball fan it was an epic game. I get that but when I have a dog in the fight it's a little harder to appreciate that because it's too up and down emotionally.

Amazing Do t forget the look on the faces in the pfilthies dugout…they were sure they were going home up 2-0. Lol They were staring out at the field like uh..........wait.........uh.......what?

I never underestimate Snitker's propensity for making the low percentage move.
On another note...
I always notice those that make 75%+ of their posts when things are going bad and how they go silent when the opposite occurs.

Watched final play a gazillion times. I think if Ozzie catches the cutoff, they don’t double up Harper, as his back was to first and it’s a tough throw I recorded the game. Going to go back and watch it over and over.

Oh I don't doubt it. This team has the talent to overcome anything and win a 162 game season. In a 5 game series when managerial decisions can really make a difference, we are at a major disadvantage. If we started Tonkin, I wouldn't be shocked. My guess is S-S though. I would start Elder with a short leash, but baseball is funny. You can do the smart thing and have it not work out and people will ridicule you. You can do the stupid thing and have it work and people will claim you are a genius.

When we play game 3, we’ll have 2 things to over come …the pfilthies …and the pfony pfilthies pfan* (* credit to dirt)

I'm prejudiced, but I think Rileys play tops the backup play (The Flip) that Jeter made.

Also some freaking emotion showed by Riley and Olson at the end. We need that…. Hopefully Snit doesn’t bench any of them for game 3.

I do it sometimes myself. What I don't like is making it personal against players, questioning their heart, commitment to winning, etc. These guys have heart. These guys are committed to winning. That's why they're where they are. They're young men, not baseball playing cyborgs.

Olson is being move back to the 2nd slot, because, potato.

Just went back and watched the 7th-9th innings. (was indisposed for awhile) :-). Wow, Riley is the MVP of this game. I love how he got so excited in the dugout after d'Arnaud's HR. He plays excellent defense. I think he is the new Derek Jeter.
