Did Contreras just pimp it on a double in the World Series? I know it wouldn't have made a difference in the scheme of things, but there are thousands of players who will never make it to the WS, and he just spat in their faces.

i'm more wondering what he's so excited about...

Dave Cameron

He just crushed a ball in the World Series.

That's exciting.

Paul Swydan

That's pretty rich. Look, if you or I thought we hit a HOME RUN IN THE WORLD SERIES, we would pimp it too.

You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

I'm about to go play a late, late softball game (pacific time) and I fully plan on Willson Contreas'ing my first AB no matter what the outcome.

Exciting while you're losing?

If you bat flip a double, we get to mock you. Them's the rules.

Paul Swydan

11:46

Yes.

Zack

Can you explain why the extra base doesn't mean anything? It prevents the double play, at least, right? That should matter. (This is more of a question about defensive indifference than anything else)

Paul Swydan

11:46

Mocking and criticizing are not the same thing.

Dave Cameron

11:46

He got to 2nd. The difference between 2nd/3rd is 0.

Paul Swydan

11:46

I'm all for mocking. Legit criticism though is a bridge too far. For me, anyway.

Whatever about bat flip, kid can rake

Arrieta's beard just gets angrier and angrier looking

Russ

11:47

He's 24, in his first World Series, and connected on one. Cut the kid some slack.

Paul Swydan

11:47

Arrieta is devolving into Brian Wilson territory. Someone needs to sit down and have a talk with him.

Dave Cameron

Congrats to the Tribe.

About as well as they could have hoped for that to go.

Kluber was amazing, Miller was good when it mattered, and Roberto Perez!

Thanks for hanging out, everyone. Jeff and Craig will be here tomorrow.

Paul Swydan

That was the Roberto Perez Game.

Thanks everybody!
