All we had to do is catch a foul pop

Yup

True story. Miserable.

Agree but we were lucky as hell to even be in that position, the better team won this series. Baseball gods just had a fricked up way of working it out

I actually expected us to go just a little more Arkansas and either score 4 and then get our 3rd out with the bases loaded or tie it and give up a walk off homer. I expected just a little more suffering for good measure.

1. Yeah the pop up
2. Bases loaded 3 mother fricking times and no hit
3. The rain out was huge
4. Watching 1st pitch down the middle fastball/change. Can’t even count how many
5. Cronin didn’t have it in game 2 (shoot me but he didn’t)

You wouldn't be saying item number 5 if we had just caught a rather routine foul pop.

"All Bill Buckner had to do was field a routine ground ball."

Never mind the game played the next day in both instances.

Dude... Go join pigfeet

Uh yeah,we all would

But you are trying to make a shitty joke... Keep your day job doing maintenance in the trailer park

When Cronin went 2-0 on Larnach, I was really hoping we would pitch around him, go off speed, try to get him to swing at something out of the zone instead of challenge him. That guy is a beast. Don't let him sit on a 2-0 fastball.

In that situation, I'm only going after Larnach after he goes fishing on that 2-0 pitch. If he doesn't, I'm putting him on and starting over with the next guy. That's ultra conservative, but that's how I would have played it.
