Wood obviously pitched longer and more effectively than Rogers, so by logic, he was more deserving of being assigned the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooops, I forgot the game was in LA, Wood was still the pitcher. Stupid as the rule is, the starting pitcher has to go five to get the win regardless of any other information. It could have been a coin toss who to actually give the win to with no rhyme or reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I hate that I have to root for the Astros. #WhiteSux As early as it is into the White Sox run, the door could close much sooner. Trading Madrigal away (top 5 overall pick) might have been the right move for this season, but hurts if they don't advance beyond the first round. They didn't need Kimbrel to get this far. They still have Jiminez, Moncada, Roberts and Vaughn, but Abreu is getting older and I doubt they will be able to afford to keep Anderson. The core guys, along with their starting pitchers, are a few years away from being eligible for free agency--they really have a 2, maybe 3 year window. The Tigers are in a much better place from a team control perspective, and should be very competitive with the Sux by 2023, with some key moves and continuing player development. Or, I'm just a homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Charlie Morton in going on 3 days rest in Atlanta. I like watching them do the chop in Atlanta so a few people can complain. Hope they can close it out today. It will be tough if they have to go back to Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The carping gets to me, but they have a point. The chop didn't start until the 90's or so when Deion brought it from Florida State, so it isn't like it is some grandfathered-in tradition.

mtutiger Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Wait, these guys are still ****ing that chicken? Man, the Sox are the biggest bunch of crybabies... they whine whenever anyone pitches inside, and it can't possibly be their own play that results in them losing.

1776 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) To LaRussa’s point, the Astros do suck! They should never have been permitted to keep the WS trophy. For those that really care about the integrity of the game, that will always be a huge wrong. That Hinch sat by and watched the party bothers me as well to this day. Verlander knew what was going on and rolled with it anyway. I hope Correa never wears a Tiger uniform-ever. Done with that. Having cleared that air, the White Sox totally suck forever. I think LaRussa is finished.He was brought in to win and…. I like Dusty Baker and I like Tony LaRussa. They’re both old school baseball guys that have been successful. LaRussa should have stayed retired. He walked away on the perfect note. Edited October 12, 2021 by 1776 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I must of missed it somewhere that Daniel Norris didn't make the NLDS roster for the Brewers. Even though he's not a Tiger anymore I still want to see him do well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Individual players have always tried to find ways to fudge the rules for an advantage. Houston’s cheating was, for the most part, condoned from top to bottom. Why do you feel compelled to deflect for them? Edited October 13, 2021 by 1776 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) I dont like the Astros because of what happened... but I am even less impressed with players like Tepera who use what happened to make excuses for his team's poor play. The Sox lost this series because, outside of a four or so inning stretch Sunday night, played pretty poorly. It's that simple. This wasn't 2017 Yankees-Astros we're talking about here. Couple Tepera's comments with LaRussa whining some more about teams pitching Abreu inside, they just are a bunch of crybabies. Good riddance.
