Eco Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Anyone following ? All of the 'quarter finals' up in the air, great stuff. Hoping for a Baltimore/Cincinatti WS but the Cardinals are looking v strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider11 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I've been watching the early games in the evenings and then getting to sleep in about the 3rd inning of the 3rd game. I want the giants v any of the AL teams in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider11 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 6-0 down, 9-7 up, we knocked Washington out the cup........... Sometimes baseball is just bloody brilliant!! When I checked the score this morning I was surprised the cards had won. When I went to sleep nationals were 6-3 up, and before the 3rd looked like the nats would get a lot more than 6 and be game over by about the 5th.

BS5_RED Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 7-5 down in the bottom of the ninth. 2 out and down to our last strike. Then we score 4.................... Tigers currently pictching a gem against the Yanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider11 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 The Yankees looked pretty tonight. Unlucky with a call by the umpire in the 7th with 2 out costing them 2 more run but as turned out didn't look like getting 1 run back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 What a crackin job Lincecum did out of the pen tonight. He's a busted flush as a starter but looks a different bloke in relief. Even if he does look like a ugly version of a Hanson kid. With Cain starting game 4, do you agree it looks a big ask for the Tigers from here?

Eco Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Looks a humungous task to win the WS but think they'll win game 4, not often a team are swept in WS. Must stop leaving runners on base. Not over yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Are you guys talking in secret code? Ha Ha, that's a fair call!! What we are basically saying is that Detroit is leaving to many men LOB during the series, especially with RISP. Their BA for the series is an appalling .165 and an OPB of .248 also suggests they are not drawing enough BB and getting too many K's. This is odd given the hitting firepower of Triple Crown winner 3B Miguel Caberera and 1B Prince Fielder. SF on the other hand is offensively solid with a reasonable BA .240 and a SLG of .385. They just seem to get XBH in the clutch, leading to crucial team R and handy RBI’s for the batters. Of course 3B Panda Sandoval (BA .636 for the series!) hitting 3 HR in a single game (4th time ever in the World Series) may have helped. http://www.baseball-reference.com/postseason/2012_WS.shtml Sorry for any confusion and hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Perhaps the worst ever sport I have seen live. Saw the Oriels v Cleveland and also a supposed cracker as Seattle beat the Yankees 3-2 with 2 home runs coming with the last hit of the game. Both a few years ago. It's a vastly inferior sport to cricket (of which I am no massive fan). Was in Manhattan in 2009 for the Yankees victory parade with ticker tape falling from the skyscrapers which was pretty cool. Other than that awful sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider11 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 In pleased the giants have won. Fell asleep during top of the 2nd inning so missed seeing a detroit run by matter of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that awful sport. Fair enough, each to their own. Kinda of liked it a bit when I was younger but only really got into it properly when I moved Down Under. They show it a fair bit on the telly down here. After a watching a few games started getting into the real details, nuances and long history of the sport. Went to 5 games in 3 different cities on a trip to the US in June and am addicted! Also a cricket freak/geek so maybe that helped as well..........

sephjnr Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Have to say congratulations to the Giants. It was shocking enough that the Cards offense folded after going 3-1 up in the series but since that point SF have done a fantastic job. One would argue the Cards shouldn't have even got that far after the Wild Card debacle but it was so frustrating having seen the fightbacks to then see us collapse completely. Free Agency may not be kind to us - Lance Berkman sat out pretty much all of 2012 but he could be useful to pick up and in the last year of his contract Kyle Lohse has had the best year of his tenure.

Someone will offer him a multi year deal and at 34, he'd be a looney not to take it. Looking forward to how Kelly, Miller and Rosenthal develop next year.
