17 total bases. He had two doubles.

Just randomly looked -- in 1973 when Reggie Jackson won WS MVP he had 19 total bases in the 7 game series...

Water cooler talk this A.M., we were discussing the length of the game.  I brought up "about 6-8 years ago Texas played Boston College in the regionals and it went 25 innings."  I think it ended around 2A.  

Nope, that was 2009.  IM OLD.

An 18-inning game in the last stretch of an at least three-round playoff march after a 162-game season?  Fuck all that.  Gimme Manfred-ball in extras.  No one needed that shit last night.  I gave up after 12.

 

No wonder the players are going to sit out '27.  They need the rest.

Hall of Famers featured in last night's game

Shohei Ohtani- what else can be said

Clayton Kershaw- clutch relief appearance in extras with the bases loaded

Max Scherzer- started gave 4 strong left with a lead

Mooke Betts

Freddy Freeman- Mr Walk off

George Springer- injured in the 6th inning

Vladdy- has a way to go in his career but one of the biggest stars in the game. People will remember this legendary postseason made two legendary plays in the field and on the bases

Will Smith- maybe?

As a Braves fan, God I miss him.

I love Matt Olsen, but Freddie is just different.

Same. I'll never get over braves management letting that guy leave. Yeah Olsen is a dude, but Freddie was the Braves. He was my favorite player and seeing him go to the dodgers probably reduced my give a shit for the sport of mlb by about 50%. fucking still pisses me off.

Due probably mostly to the pitch clock, the 18 inning game played at Dodger Stadium in the 2018 was 20 minutes longer than this one.

I dunno who’s responsible for the organ at Dodger Stadium, but they’re always on it with some wild shit. Would be a fun atmosphere. 

This is me towards the Dodgers organization with the "You cool" reserved for the organist:

I heard them playing KPop Demon Hunters in the background at one point

Ghost runner in post season talk should begin shortly. 

Because, sadly, expecting a Major League Baseball team to string together a single, a stolen base, and a successful bunt is currently unrealistic.

I don't discount the drama and the intrigue, but holy shit, let's have some compassion for the dudes playing the game.  6+ hours on a baseball field and 609 pitches isn't good for anyone.  If your game requires that to determine a winner, you need to revisit the rules of the game.  The rest of the series is now fucked because of an idiotic desire to cling to "tradition."

it happens so infrequently its a solution looking for a problem.  Lets not further dilute the rare things/moments that make baseball awesome. 

And if you think the series is "fucked", then I truly dont know what to tell you.  I realize your Dodger hate is clouding your judgment, but my guess would be we get another awesome game/performance tonight.

The series is fucked because both teams emptied out the bullpens in Game 3 and pushed relievers longer than they are conditioned to go.  Starters need to be lights out or we are going to get a watered down product from the bullpens for the rest of the series.  They will not be at their best.  It will probably be fine from an entertainment standpoint, but it is no longer a showcase of the best in the game. 

I don't deny my Dodger hate - it keeps me warm at night - but it does not cloud my judgment on this at all.

Agreed. After 9, the teams should have a home run contest to settle the game.

Stupid take. This is the most true form of deciding a game. Win the damn game playing it the same fucking way you played for 9 innings. Basketball has no issues with that. Soccer basically has a free throw contest to settle overtime. NFL has it mostly right. College football OT is stupid.

What are you talking about? The dudes who these teams rely on daily--or close to it--pitched their normal inning or two max. It was the rarely used guys that we probably wouldn't have otherwise seen in this series that got stretched. 

Obviously, if Yamamoto had to come in and throw 3 innings in a 21 inning game, it's a different story. But that's not what happened.

Well, he is loopy, he says so himself.
