This is so mesmerizing. Someone got out of the dugout in a flash, and was ready for Kwan, when he scored, and then both waited for Rosario. It all happened so fast, in real time…

I’m guessing that was whoever happened to be on deck. There were also guys running into the field of play just as Rosario scores from the dugout. Crazy electrifying

I will use my Board InfluenceTM to make it happen.

I’ll check with @AndrewScheid.

Sooo, man, I don't know where to start.

I guess I'll start with the motherfucker I hate most, well, the motherfucker rally killing SoB I LOVE to hate most. But Myles Straw came through when it mattered most and made up for ineptitude in the beginning. It also doesn't help that the opposing CF is outplaying him at the dish.

But that bloop double started the whole thing and gave everyone in that dugout a JOLT. He was confused at fist but made the correct call at getting to 2nd late.

The place stood tall after that and it was House of Pain time.

Kwan comes up and rips one. (Very unfortunate hitting with RISP tonight by the way, Hits didn't produce it seemed.)

Place goes nuts for Kwan.

Now's the time I look at my dad and say ahh fuck Boone is going to the pen and try to get Amed induce a double play ball.

He laces a groundball single. The stadium is on the verge of blowing away.

Now José steps up and I swear the José chant was electric. I'm already horse but I gave it all. Then he rips a hard play hit. Total bonkers. It's in the air at this point. The G's are going to pull this off. Yankees fans are sitting down and not heard AT ALL.

Naylor... man is struggling. Total letdown of an AB. But then...

The whole fucking stadium including my 52 year old father is singing SPONGEBOB FUCKING SQUAREPANTS. Like dad, I didn't even watch that show, I watched Rugrats, Hey Arnold and shit, how the fuck do you know these goddamn lyrics?? But crowd amplified it and sung it into existence, whatever, I joined in with the juices I have left at this point. Voice is fucked. Too many Fuck the Yankees chants.

Oscar takes a pitch or 2, fouls a couple, then the greatest in-person game I ever attended becomes complete and I say that for the lone reason because I never hugged so many complete strangers in my life. I high fived at least 5000 people. I trolled every Yankees fan telling them don't worry its a 5 game series. Some bad sports, but fuck them.

There were a couple fights as the game winner took place, my dad said a fat Yankees shoved an 140 pound soaking wet Guardians fan at least 8 feet. While he was what the fucking at that, I was getting bro hugged and feeling some boobs chest to chest. Dudes, chicks, grandma's, grandpa's, just a total ball. The greatest man. You'd have to be there to feel the energy, it totally felt like once in a lifetime and everyone took advantage of that.

Cleveland is a special place, the day we win a ring in baseball will be everyone's classic life moment. The amount of happiness in that bitch, you'd never know we happen to come up short a lot of times. I still have to catch up in this thread and find my Hammy plays.

Congrats though guys on witnessing one hell of a win and let's do it again tomorrow.

So l learned you grew up watching Rugrats. That would explain a lot

Never been so happy to wake up drunk at 7am
This is the greatest

 

[ice cream man]

So the key to tonight is obviously Cal.

Can he avoid both walking guys and giving up the HR?

Our bullpen is in much better shape than their’s. Clase could go more than an inning again if we have the lead.

 

[Huber.]

Fucking tv crew doesn't even catch Rosario crossing home plate.

Some say he's still running

Just read through the last FORTY pages of this thread! Couldn’t post during the game, was listening to WTAM in my kitchen while the TV was on in my family room, running back and forth, going nuts! Texting with my oldest son in Colorado, biggest fan on the planet! The radio feed was 2 seconds ahead of the Tv feed, so the last inning I must’ve run ten miles from one room to the other! Listening to Hammy - Oscar comes through and INSANITY!!! Called Colorado and we were hysterical!

Thanks for the thread! PLEASE win tonight!

ALDS Game 3 Reactions: Mistakes allow Yanks to get blooped to death in walk-off

Some questionable decisions and bad play allowed Cleveland to stay within striking distance for their eventual walk-off win.

Good morning. Go Guards!

Hope Bob Costas is ok this morning after his team taking an epic loss!

 

[zDawg45]

Anyone know a way I could watch that 9th inning!? Need a rewatch badly!

here is a 2 min video of 9th inning

Another Oscar winner! Guardians walk off, take 2-1 ALDS lead

CLEVELAND -- Oscar Gonzalez knew he was going to win Saturday’s game, even when it seemed impossible. As Baseball Savant was calculating that Cleveland had a 4% chance of overcoming a two-run deficit with one out in the bottom of the ninth, the Guardians’ dugout determined that it had a

Quantrill with no defeats in 34 starts at the Prog and he always gets run support at home. Just gotta keep the game even through five innings. Stephan, Karinchak, and Clase are ready to go and their bullpen is hanging by a thread.

Both teams saw the other starter just five days ago - the question is which team's hitters will have more success the second time around.

On Tuesday Cal allowed one earned run in five innings until Tito asked him to face the top of their order the third time in the sixth. I'm sure that won't happen tonight. If Cal can go five and hold them to one run again I'm more than fine with that.

The Yankees have had two effective relievers; Loaisiga (3.0 IP, 0 earned runs) and Peralta (4.0 IP, 0 earned runs). Both of them pitched the last two nights with Loaisiga throwing 30 pitches and Peralta 42, including 27 last night. I'm not saying they won't be available, but they might not be as effective.

Girardi is getting ripped for not bringing in closer Clay Holmes last night, but he threw 16 pitches the night before and apparently they don't want him pitching in back-to-back games.

The key tonight will be to run up Cole's pitch count and get him out after six so we have three innings to work on their bullpen. That, and Quantrill stepping up to pitch one of the best games of his life.

The Dodgers were supposed to be far and away baseball's best team this year and they went down 3-1. The Braves were the defending Champions and won 101 games - they went down to the 3rd place 87-win Phillies. Maybe this is the year of the underdog.

Not looking good for the Guardians here early.

 

[CBBI]

How about we look at it like this...

This Guardians team would not be where they are at right now without the contributions of one Amed Rosario, period.

Put that into your stats, and minimize his contribution all you want.

Don't think anyone is denying any of this though.

He's here right now. He's not going anywhere right now. He's contributed greatly to this year's success. All of those things are true.

A lot of people believe that the writing is on the wall and things will change next year due to a variety of factors (specifically the surplus of MIF prospects already here who all seem ready to play every day right now, the one year left on Rosario's contract, the raise he's due to get in arbitration, etc).

That's all it is. No one is really knocking Rosario or what he's done this year IMO.
