Love it.

Say what you want but that guy shows up in big moments.

It looks like they were both leading off as well. Also, not wild about pulling Eovaldi here.

Nice play at the plate to get Judge.

Phil Nevin has been an idiot his whole career, first as a player, now as a coach. Horrible send in that situation.

not surprised.

The Yankees never hit good in the playoffs especially on the road.

Cole is another great pitcher that fails in the playoffs.

Schwarber homering off him is a repeat of 2015 WC game.

I wonder if that's happened before. A dude hits a HR off the same pitcher in the playoffs, 6 years apart.

got a hot tip on Eovaldi over 5.5 K and it came through pretty easy even with pulling him early

Stanton's second shot off the green monster (where Judge was thrown out at home), was a thing of beauty...from the hit itself, to the outfielders playing the carom, to the relay. Just spectacular.

they still do the little league man on 2nd thing in post-season extra-innings? Thought they banned throwing over to 1B, every time a guy gets on these relievers with zero pick off move immediately throw over to first.
and every runner steals second immediately anyhow

its a shame one of these teams will lose.

Cardinals are a good team.

Sounds INCREDIBLY and perfectly professional.

Nothing like the slop o' shit broadcasts on marquee this year.

1-1 game and four plus hours. Terrible.

Reyes...geez....even the shit cubs beat his ass all season.

Mike Schildt is a dumbass.

If any of you listen to XM89 during the day, they are going to have to send a search party to do a wellness check on Al from White Plains.

Holy crap, what a meatball, Reyes walking to the dugout before Taylor finishes his follow through:

he looked sleepy coming in.

I listened to Charley Steiner and Rick Monday on the Dodger radio broadcast for the last five innings once I got off my flight. Old timers, but top notch. Monday was timing pitchers throwing to home during the game to see whether the Dodgers should be stealing. He was totally into the strategy. And Steiner is always solid on PBP.

Shit game. 8 BB 17 K. 4 fucking hrs

great game.

Al Reyes was 10-8 this year

I never seen a reliever/stopper have so many decisions (only 72 innings) since Lee Smith went 9-9 one year in the 80's.

_________________

Decisions are high; relievers regularly rack up double digit wins in relief roles. A couple I can think of were a Yankees pitcher from a decade or so ago (Aceves) and Andrew Miller in 2016 was leading the Yankees in wins (as a reliever) with 6-1 record, finishing the season 10-1 after going 4-0 with the Indians post-trade (again, strictly in relief).

No weak sisters in these playoffs. 2-3 playoff level teams in the AL didn't even make it to the wild card
