Series Thread: World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Houston Astros

Explosion on impact.

Well, let's separate your all-time greats from the guys who pitch today. But, the main thing is an entire change in philosophy in the game. Everyone is specialized and the more expensive players are coddled because they make 20 million a year.

seriously, comparing pitchers from the 1960s/1970s to today is absurd. Do you think those guys are going to pitch 300+ innings if they pitched in today's environment?

 

[Montalban]

Can't make millionaires work that hard today.

Yep. They've become soft.

Let's see. It's almost 1 AM. LA should have it tied up by 2

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Jeez man I blew this one big time... I thought after 3-0 that quick in the 1st Kershaw would be able to clean up...

boy was I wrong

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Insurance run was huge

Would be tying run at the plate without it

Probably even more now that we know how to take care of them with exercise and nutrition and all the medical advances. Face it, those guys were just tougher and had a work ethic this younger soft generation does not have. Its not just in sports either.

plus they didn't have MRIs so they were probably pitching with all kinds of injuries they didn't know about

This is a documentary of the 2017 World Series.

Leadoff walk

Forsythe just looking at meat balls

 

[The Derski]

Poor Liriano has been warming up for like 2 hours.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Awful AB

Dude should walk home

 

[Montalban]

You know why the game takes 4 and a half hours? Watch a scrub like Logan Forsythe step out of the box on every pitch and adjust his gloves and helmet. Its absurd.

 

[jvett77]

Oh, oh, it's going to be a bad flight back to LA.
