i'd go with the only home run hit by a royal in the WS, bottom of the 9th, game 1, to tie the game. yeah i'd go with that one.

That was really fun

I mean, Rustin's a complete loser, but if there's ever a time to take off from work when you cover baseball, its right before spring training.

here's the thing though. Sipp is a lefty, Hos was down 0-2, and it was an elimination game. I mean, it was huge.

What on earth, CF3? Gordon's HR in Game 1 was one of the 5 most clutch hits in World Series history. It had a 47% WPA.

But yeah, Sipp IS a lefty so...

What is WPA?

Win probability added.

My mistake. I meant win expectancy, not probability. http://www.fangraphs.com/library/misc/we/

context of the game my friend. Game 1 is not an elimination game.

Pitchers and catchers report on 2-18-16. Reports are that several players are already there, despite no obligation to be there. This is now the Royal Way.

Wait, is this a steve dave #humblebrag for knowing George Brett (kinda)?

steve dave · « **Reply #57991 on:** February 09, 2016, 10:41:18 AM »

I also know some other guys, guys

mocat · « **Reply #57992 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:03:04 AM »

guys what was your favorite playoff series from 2014-15?

angels 3-0
orioles 4-0
astros 3-2
blue jays 4-2
mets 4-1

the orioles series was so great, i mean it's really hard to sweep a 4 game series. iirc there were 2 extra inning games and we hit lots of dongs, and there were lots of sad oriole fan crowd shots. that one might be my favorite, but Toronto is like 1B.

Am I going to be considered weird if I rank the WS vs. the Mets lowest? I just never doubted we would win

kso_FAN · « **Reply #57994 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:09:19 AM »

Destroying the Jays was so much fun.

The Mets was for the 'ship.

Astros just because of game 5.

Orioles and Angels were great also, but maybe because they aren't as recent and that we didn't win it all, its hard for me to put them above any of last year's. Also, while its weird to say, they seemed to come "easy". There is something about feeling a little adversity in all of our series from this year that makes them a little more special to me. Maybe I'm just weird.

Astros was #1 in my book. Wow! It was intense.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #57996 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:11:26 AM »

damn it mocat! this is tough!

mocat · « **Reply #57997 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:12:22 AM »

CF3 you're not weird at all to put the mets series last.

i was really tempted to put toronto #1 because Canada got so butt hurt, and i was terrified going into the series, and the bbs'n was great. but there were only 2 close games in that series, and 2 of the games iirc were at like 11 am on work days

mocat · « **Reply #57998 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:19:23 AM »

_FAN, yes we won all 4 orioles games, but all of them were nail biters. i mean that is just the best possible outcome for a series imo

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #57999 on:** February 09, 2016, 11:22:19 AM »

Like the Angels series seems like a long time ago, but I'll never forget sprinting out my front door when Moose homered in Game 1 and screaming my head off in the street, then standing on a chair and going absolutely bonkers at the Peanut the next night when Hosmer did it again.
