Start some random guy, go to your bullpen with only 26 outs to go and the bases loaded in the first... and win the game 3-2.

Video of the Game 7 of the 1924 World Series. https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/octo...st-one-of-all/ This recap also explains why the starting pitcher only lasted 1/3 inning. |

Honestly can’t believe I’m saying it, but this Braves WS feels way more magical than KC’s Super Bowl season. Always thought I was a football fan above all, but wow this is pure magic. This team is unreal. My 10 year old self says I’m happy.

You pasted the same YouTube link twice, but here's the bottom of the 9th... what a brain fart to end a WS game.

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if Yoenis Cespedes was the factor that put the Royals over the top that series. It’s hard to understate how bad he was throughout it.
His flub in Game 1, him coming off the bag plus his misplay of the ball in centerfield that gave Salvy a double in Game 4 AND his AB in Game 5 with the bases loaded no out while he couldn’t walk all were just huge moments that swung to the Royals. Cespedes’ Game 1, Game 4 defense and his Game 5 issues could also be placed directly at Collins’ feet. There was zero reason to start him at center when he had a gold glover (Lagares) available but Collins kept folding to Ces insisting he was a CF (just like he did to Harvey later in the series). What I admire about Yost is that Cueto wanted to finish Game 5 against the Stros but Yost held firm. In the World Series Yost had Davis warming up to finish Game 2, but decided to let Cueto finish if the Royals went up by 5 or more. For all the flack Yost got in his career, he managed circles around Collins that series and it helped bring us a title. Last edited by Chiefspants; 10-31-2021 at 11:35 AM.. |

Same for Harvey. And while Ned was not a wunderkind, he was managing that series with a felt tip sharpie compared Collins using a 64 set of Crayolas. |

I'm gonna need the Braves to finish this off tonight because I don't want to have to make a choice between this and the Chiefs game tomorrow.

Let’s just hope they don’t win. I’d be very happy if it all ended tonight.
