Post Your Pick - Major League Baseball Second Season, 2021

[Jim Lusk]

What a gamer to go another inning with the fracture.

7 games is a long time though.

While not quite the same injury, my son pitched two weeks in a row with a fractured patella (kneecap) when he was a junior in high school. Had two hits in one of the games and it only hurt when he was running...

Morton is TOUGH...

 

[WV64Signet]

Tied up at 1:1... no expectation that either is sweeping an away segment.

No bad teams at this point.

Good announcers tonight on TV. A WORLD of difference. Another good pitching matchup, good game, GO BRAVES!

It's a nail biter so far! If the Braves lose this one (would be back-to-back games started by the only two starting pitchers they've got left), it's game over for the series. Granted, they've got a killer bullpen, but winning 3 out of the next four is going to be tough considering how much their bullpen will be (and has been) relied upon.

 

[Jim Lusk]

Great game, but sure took a long time for a 2-0 affair...

Seven innings of no-hit ball. In violation of the baseball superstition, the announcers mentioned the no-hitter, thirty seconds later, it was gone.

Always the way

Go braves, hopefully my Mariners will get better & make playoffs next season

Braves in a closeout game, open the first with a GRAND SLAM!!





.....and then get smoked, to the tune of 9 to 1 from there.

Not giving up yet though. GO BRAVES!!

Bloody sock vs fractured leg
Schilling. Morton.
I'll take Morton although curt was a badass too, but he was on the redsox.
My favorite world series team still is 03 Florida marlins.
But I'ma diehard Mariners fan, even though it sure seems like the Mariners ownership couldn't care less about the fans, we'll see next year

Heading back to Texas... can Atlanta overcome the Houston Trash Cans? I think this is where Morton missing in the rotation is really going to bite Atlanta. Their bullpen got smote last night.

Go Braves!

I hope they show a replay soon, I was still working

Sports desk! It will have landed by then lol. Gotta see the whole pitch sequence.

Dang freeman

 

[mopowers]

What was the distance on Soler's shot? He absolutely shat on that ball!

 

[4spdragtop]

446 ft. 3 identical pitches in a row...
World Series: Braves' Jorge Soler demolishes 446-foot go-ahead homer in Game 6, adds to MVP case

 

[WV64Signet]

3 outs left

 

[WV64Signet]

Congratulations Atlanta...

 

[4spdragtop]

Well done! Congratulations Atlanta!

 

[WV64Signet]

OK gang...

It's officially "Next Year" for the rest of us

I know everybody loves to hate pro sports but I think baseball is the best of the bad....well, maybe hockey... but the randomness of Park, pitcher, wind, temperature, fans and just the mental part of 162 sets baseball apart.
