Did you watch the entire World Series game?
Fell asleep in the 13th and woke up in the 16th.
Didn’t miss a thing.
Now I know why I don’t watch baseball anymore.
The Sox pitcher was sacrificed.......would they have left him in if he had a contract?

I went to bed after the 13th inning. Read the score this morning on the net.
These days Baseball only interests me during the World Series.
Good athletes, but the game is too slow.

I stuck with it to the end.
In the 17th I ate everything in the house.
(Diets do not apply in deep extra innings.)

After Bill Buckner,excuse me Ian Kinsler, botched the play,I gave up as I was already drifting off.
If the Red Sox win the series,they need to build a statue to Nathan Eovoldi.

Boston used 6 pitchers in 9 innings of a 1-1 ballgame...even though they were up 2-0 in the series. The Dodgers used only 2 pitchers...in a must-win situation. I think Cora is overthinking this.

I made it through 16 and then I had to turn it. Props to you since I believe you are in the Houston area - two hours ahead of me on the west coast. I think a game like this; a testament to great pitching, is nice to see once in awhile, but 18 innings is a bit too "epic" for me.
Ad far as Eovaldi goes, I can see why you would think that, but I would also say that once the bullpen is used it, somebody has to have the game to the end. The Sox babied him this year, keeping IP and pitch counts down. The may have been a bit of a stretch out for him, but not that much given how he is normally used. In the WS and playoffs you will things that you would not see in the regular season such as starters coming in to get saves, etc.
Both teams really need their starters to get deep in tonight's game!

That is a good assessment.
I saw a Facebook meme somewhere that showed a (fake) Nolan Ryan comment about someone who threw 107 pitches: "Cute."
Apparently, Ryan once threw 235 pitches in extra innings.
40 years ago Saturday, Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches in a game

I watched the whole thing. Wasn't a great game really, just long.

And very boring.
Read an article that said with all the strikeouts the average is now 8 minutes between batters putting the ball in play.

I used to think that MLB was excruciatingly boring. And then I started betting on the games. And I now find that their excitement level has shot up dramatically.

I need help.
Did the Dodgers have a man on first with no outs in the bottom of the 9th and did not bunt?
I fell asleep and awoke in the 12th.

I may be mistaken but manny Machado was the batter. I do recall telling my wife
"If anybody other than this moron was up, they'd bunt". Pretty sure it was that situation.
Watched the whole thing, almost 2:30am , and happy to see a DFW metroplex kid be the hero.
