Since physically it's impossible to actually touch anything atom to atom, someone should challenge every baserunning play

don't cut four slices into a pork roll or it comes out looking like an iron cross after cooking

On a related note, VAR in soccer is not a great thing.

I guess the other side of it is you have to credit Fox for the camera work in this Series.

Just another area where old time baseball was far better than this. If you beat the ball you were safe unless there was an egregious situation.

Steve Nebraska, agreed, but this kind of call was NEVER made pre-replay. Technically, it's correct, but I believe it's not in line with the spirit of the rule. IMO

A couple years ago I saw someone suggest a vertical column above the base and as long as the runner has achieved the base he remains safe. I think it was after Terrance Gore was caught this way?

Mike

It's like I can palpably feel this game slipping away into another chaotic mess that the Dodgers will never win in a million years

Dave Roberts

Why do we need all these specifics about how to change the replay rule when they can easily do what they just did: call the runner safe even though he clearly came off while the tag was applied

do we want to reward speed, or ability to perfectly control every millisecond of your slide?

Dan Szymborski

CONTROL YOUR ATOMS!

David Laurila

A lot of Dodgers fans aren't filled with positivity.

Kershaw is losing it

"Safety" is an illusion.

There's nothing quite like the excitement of postseason baseball to bring out the immense negativity of all fanbases.

The pessimism of LA fans is interesting, because I think they're pretty clearly outplayed TB thus far.

Mike

9:46

I'm fatalistic at this point. I expected them to lose, I don't know how you recover from last night. If anything it's been better then I expected.

Pete

9:46

It's called baseball for a reason. If you are not on the base, you are not safe. If you can't control your body or speed and hence come off the bag, you don't deserve to be safe because you have to stay on the bag. It is that simple.

A half hour ago you would not have thought i possible but it looks like Kershaw will be out before Glasnow.

Do you pronounce it "fowl" or "fowel?"

The pessimism is like the Win Probability: When I dip, you dip. We dip.

Smoltz just beat to me to the comment, but this would be a good time for Adames to get it going.

Mike

Re pessimism of Dodger fans: the problem with being a Dodger fan is that they aren't playing to complete a season or mark it successful, everything they do carries 8 seasons of weight. You constantly remember previous bad beats while watching the new one play out, and the bad beats are very similar.

Dave Roberts

9:48

Why shouldn't dodger fans be fatalistic? Yeah they've clearly outplayed the Rays, and all they've got for it is a 2-2 tie in the series and the Rays have a higher win probability in this game.

David Laurila

Ballet from Margot on the bullet.

Feels like the Dodgers should be up 3-1 in this series with tonight’s game being the potential WS clincher, but Rays keep hanging around despite at times feeling totally dominated by the Dodgers

Scuffy Mcgee

Kershaw makes me sad

Kershaw's curveball still fuckin rules, man

Scuffy, are you related to Jake?

One thing I feel like I've learned from the last 4 postseasons is that when games get crazy and wild and unpredictable the Dodgers are never the team capitalizing on it but the team failing in it. I was hoping for some nice boring 8-3 baseball games. We've had two and they won both. In 17, there were 3 and they won all 3, losing 2 insane games and 2 darvish explosions. It's just kind of who they are

!!! That really got my adrenaline up.

Trivia: name the player in this series who was drafted by the Devil Rays

Dan Szymborski

Jake McGee of course!

We just mentioned him like 2 minutes ago!

Ford Prefect

I um, don't remember seeing a steal attempt at home in the WS right away.
