Holy crap, this game is going another hour now. 

The ump has been consistent on the outside strikezone.

Agreed. With two outs and two strikes you can't leave it to the umpires to get borderline calls right. 

That was definitely a pitch he could have clobbered. 

Mound visits and timeouts should be banned after the 14th inning. 

Now 2 slow runners for the DP

At this rate, it's going to be a game 4 double header.

It is now 2am in Butthurt, MA.

And past last call.

Puig should be out, so pitching to him wasn't a bad call. 

Hasn't Joe Kelly been nails in relief?

Jansen blew the save in the World Series last year too by giving up a home run. 

That must have been left off those laminated match-up cards.

I can't remember a world series where the manager has made as many bad decisions in critical times than Roberts. 

Dodgers need a closer. 

I would keep Walker out there. He was still hitting the high 90's and great control. Eff the pitch count, go with the hot hand. Just put him on a short leash. 

I thought Otis Nixon turned 100 decades ago.

That is a lot of "Turning the page".

Who copied a Twitter post? FYI, I got mine from ESPN (website, not twitter)

I don't think anyone here is disputing Connor got hit from behind.

After they are done interviewing reading AWin threads and make the decision on who fits best is my guess.  

Fixed

I'd rather get direct quotes than reading a bunch of muddled Twitter responses.

Directly from Khabib addressing Dana.

"Why didn't you fire anyone when their team attacked the bus and injured a couple of people? They could have killed someone there, why no one says anything about insulting my homeland, religion, nation, family?"

"Why do you have to punish my team, when both teams fought. If you say that I started it, then I do not agree, I finished what he had started."

Khabib on the threat of firing Tukhugov

"If you decide to fire him, you should know that you’ll lose me too. We never give up on our brothers in Russia and I will go to the end for my Brother."

"If you still decide to fire him, don’t forget to send me my broken contract, otherwise I'll break it myself."

I agree with all of it. I expect Dana to do nothing since he wants to get paid. Dana knows if Khabib leaves, he will get paid elsewhere (probably for more $) to fight, especially a McConnor rematch.

I like the Texas Ranger's banner "One pitch away!"

They have 2 of them.

Betts in ALDS:

.188  BA

.528  OPS 

Trout is impressed. 

According to witnesses, Dillon was running his mouth the entire fight. When McConnor tapped, Dillon yelled "F**ing Muslim rat". That set Khabib off to beat his ass. So yeah, I'm OK with the end result.

Anyone notice that bright thing out in the sky in Southern California just now ?  Was moving pretty slowly for 5 mins or so.  Just faded out.  

Either a SpaceX rocket or Freddie Freeman's hr ball.

Welcome to the game Alex Wood. 1 pitch and 1 Freeman HR.
