In all likelihood, that will be the biggest play of the game.

At least Castillo actually has a high ground ball rate, the other day when Anderson did that with his 27% GB rate was really hilarious

Ben Clemens

10:55

Yeah do you know how hard it is to be ON TOP of an Anderson fastball?

I remember being in the PNC press box wishing I was in the stands with a beer to really and truly feel the atmosphere.

Ben Clemens

Being at a really great playoff game, whether home team win or home team loss, is a truly great experience

It's hard to relay to people who have not been there

I loved PNC park, and Petco. I'm glad you mentioned both, David.

Ben Clemens

10:57

Something about the entirety of the audience caring so much really resonates

Mike

I think the multiple days thing is an interesting question because while Ben wrote about it, we've never had a situation like this one, with 7 consecutive games vs the same team and no off-days, so you'll likely see repeat performances to degrees that are normally impossible in baseball.

I have never been to a playoff baseball game, both because of money and because the team I always cheered for pretty much never goes

As a Twins fan who has attended 5 playoff games against the Yankees in 3 different stadiums in 2 different cities across 4 different seasons

It's not always great

Massive play, -34.7 win probability

Ben Clemens

And a whopping 5.8 leverage index

Which is, uh, hard to think about

I will vouch for that. I was lucky enough to be at Game 6 in 1967. Red Sox- 8 Cardinals- 4. I still have every photo.

Was '67 Game 6 Gary Waslewski's start?

Every home game at Angel Stadium during the 2002 World Series was unbelievable

Ben Clemens

ThunderStix series

I hated those things watching at home!

Was at the 2008 ALCS game 7 Red Sox vs. Rays. Garza throws the gem. Rookie David Price with the save. One of the most memorable moments of my life

I was at '92 ALCS game 6 when Blue Jays eliminated A's to go to their 1st WS -- 1st inning Rickey Henderson drops a lazy fly ball for an error -- the rest of the night was RICKEY RICKEY RICKEY

I was that ALDS game between the Yankees and Indians in 17 where the only run was a Greg Bird HR off of Andrew Miller. An experience that's truly hard to beat.

Ben Clemens

What I love about playoff baseball is that all of you remember these games so well

It just sticks

11:01

I was at the Nats/Cards comeback game in 2012, in DC

I remember, very vividly, sneaking my David Freese jersey off and back into my backpack (I took the train down from NYC after work) in the 9th

Dodger Fan

I'll never forget 2017 WS game 1. Ever.

TKDC

The only playoff game I’ve ever been to was the Jayson Werth walk off homer game and it was awesome even though I don’t even like the Nats.

Mike

11:02

Ive only seen my team play 4 games live, ever, and so I have the distinct pleasure of being able to say that I've seen Clayton Kershaw pitch and it was, in some ways, the worst game of his career.

Ben Clemens

11:02

Haha well that last one is u nlucky!

Yes. He is from Meriden, CT which is the next town over.
