Your link was an inning before Guessdale really lost it and two innings after Guessdale got the ball rolling by not ringing up Correa for a K when he took a Joe Ross pitch for strike 3, which gave Correa the chance to go yard on the next pitch.What was the makeup call regarding? Was it regarding National catcher Gomes standing up too soon?
At first I thought umpire Barksdale should be banned forever for not calling a third strike because the catcher prematurely celebrated. Dumb reason. But apparently ump says the catcher stood up too fast and blocked his view.
That non call hurt the Nationals as Correra homered. Was this non call a response to a previous blown call that went against Astros?
Will have to check the replay. But Catcher does not look to be blocking his view.
In the bottom of the seventh, both Cole and catcher Maldonado thought they had Zimmerman on a two-out 3-2 pitch at the knees that he laid off from swinging. Maldonado was starting the trot to the dugout but Guessdale called “Ball four.”
The next hitter was Robles and he too laid off a 3-2 pitch even further out of the strike zone, high and away. Robles was trotting to first base when Guessdale called him out #3. Bat and helmet were rather forcefully tossed. A few words were said. No ejection but umpires remember and retaliate in subtly delayed ways. Every close call is going to go against anybody showing them up.

Let me get this straight. Guessdale does not like players making moves before he makes the official call. He considers that showing him up and will rule against them.
There is a chance Robles draws the walk if he did not start trotting.
OTOH, there are some umps that can be subliminally influenced by the trot to first and call it in the batters favor. Have to know how to play it.

No, Robles did not have a headstart to first before Guessdale started the ringup make good call. He did carry on longer than either Cole and Maldonado did and I’m sure that’s why they were so biased last night against Washington in general and him in particular. I expect more of it in Game 7.Let me get this straight. Guessdale does not like players making moves before he makes the official call. He considers that showing him up and will rule against them.

Forecast is 60% rain. Game 7 likely to be indoors again.
I think the Nationals like the dome.
This series has not drawn the number of viewers that L.A. RedSox did. Not clear if it is because of the smaller market D.C. team or because the games have been mostly blowouts. Only Game 1 was close in the late innings. Game 6 was close until the top of the seventh and then turned into a blowout.

The five games last year between the eventual champion Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers series averaged a 7.3 game on WUTV, the local Fox affiliate. The 9.5 rating for the fifth and final game was the highest-rated of the series and it would have been higher if it hadn’t been carried opposite a NBC’s Sunday Night Football game on WGRZ-TV that had a 10.7 rating.
The first four games of this year’s series have averaged a 6.6 rating on WUTV, which doesn't make you want to shout "baseball is must-see TV here."

1956 World Series Game 7. Yanks at BROOKLYN Dodgers.
Love that Ebbet Fields ballpark.
Yogi remains the only player to hit 2 HR's in a Game 7 WS.
Very unusual to see a lopsided Game 7. Also a rare shutout.
9-0.
Yogi will best be remembered as the manager of the beloved 1973 "You Gotta Believe" Mets.

No, Yogi is remembered as a HOF player and the most prominent quote machine in history, thanks to his unbelievable butchering of the English language. How would be a losing manager of a WS team rate higher in legacy than being a 3x MVP catcher on ten WS championship teams, still a record for any player???1956 World Series Game 7.

As a kid, I was always a Mets fan from 1974-80. For some reason, I could never get myself to like the Yanks. So my memories of Yogi were mainly managerial.
Even though the Mets won absolutely nothing from 74-80 and always broke my heart in the pennant race as a kid. And the Yanks were constantly winning.
IIRC, the Yanks also played at Shea in 1974-75 while Bronx stadium was being rebuilt. But I only went to Mets games.
Only as I grow older do I now appreciate Yogi's brilliance.

I dont watch alot of baseball anymore but this has been a very entertaining series.
I like Grenkie, his dad used to teach at my high school, I was in his class. Glad to see him make it. I also played with Paul Wilson (same team a few times), his dad delivered newspapers.
Nice to see these guys living in luxury now, they were hard workers with dedication to their sons

OMFG! Greinke was cruising and it’s all changed with a Rendon blast, a BB and then Hinch chooses the wrong guy from the pen with Harris giving up a Kendrick dinger off the fair pole in RF. 3-2 Nationals.

Osuna in the seventh? That’s early to bring the closer in.

Astros got Corbinized! One bloop single off the end of Gurriel’s bat.
Six more outs for the pen to collect.

Corbin better not blow this!
Martinez is gonna make the same stupid mistake that Finch just made.
Will pull Corbin for Hudson... Leave Corbin in to start the eighth.

He is and Correa freezes on strike 3!Bottom of the order in the eighth.
Nationals need to take advantage. Hopefully Corbin is still in there.

3 days rest for starter Corbin. Only 45 pitches.
Leave Corbin in for the 9th.
Correct?

Martinez might stick with him but it’s the top of the order and they’ve seen him once so I wouldn’t bet on it.

I always believed that Corbin was a huge underachiever. Not pitching to his potential. We prayed for Patrick.
He finally came thru with a huge outing.

I deserve one of those official lids there, Moriarty & DP! It’s the least you can do for me telling you that Astros/Yanks was not the de facto WS.

Why didn't they bring Cole in after Greinke? Oh because he hasn't done it before? Big deal, he's your best player. To pass up your best player to failed starters is a disgrace. Fk your analytics. Nats took a poop on you pencil pushing stat nerds.

Hinch should not have gone to the pen in the first place. Too soon. Only 80 pitches. Greinke made only one mistake to Rendon.
Otherwise perfect and still had his stuff. Total dominance. Leave Greinke in and he might have gone 8 or 9 and we have a different result.
