The Royals 3rd base coach should be fired!

[Sam Odom]

This is blowing my mind how many people in here actually think they shoulda sent him

Why?

Most here are dumbasses and loser$

[DOM-Ganador]

As I watched it live, the guy looked slow as SHEET, even when he "turned it on"

Would have been cool with a burner running the bases full-out from the get go, BUT this guy woulda been dead as "DISCO"

It was worth the shot because of who was pitching

If somehow you actually believe what you're saying....then you are one STUPID motherfukker.

Now which is it?

Nate Silver's math says they should have sent him

I don't know either way as it's hard to tell how good of a transfer Crawford got from his glove to his throwing hand.Plus the magnitude of the situation makes the pressure of throwing a strike to the plate enormous .

I do know that if he would have scored it would have been a play that lasts forever like Buckner if the Royals ended up winning.

He uses a lot of ifs and extraordinarys

Sammy thinks he is advocating for a 'Hero Moment'

do u morons really think sending him would've been a wise move?




#12 panik has his arms raised to tell brandon crawford not to throw the ball home as gordon has yet to reach 3b.

Did you happen to think why he is telling him to hold the relay?

Maybe because he already saw coach give him the stop sign.Which means Gordon had been slowing down for a few steps prior to that picture.

I'll stop short of throwing insults back and forth.

[YouHave2outs]

from the replay they showed last night in game time i totally thought he would've scored if he went. but it's a tough call.

doubt it. he had his back to the coach. but even he could tell the runner had no chance to score.

but ur missing the point. crawford had the ball cocked and ready to throw home even before gordon reached 3b. how morons think he would've scored is a mystery to everyone with the sense of sight.

[mcdonae101]

if his fatass had been running full speed from the get go and the 3rd base coach wave him in, then i think he makes it easily

[MickeyMan]

Crusty is spot on here

[The Giant]

Guys, he would've been out by 50 feet.

The only guy with the sheer athleticism that could've scored on that play was JJGold.

[opie1988]

I agree.

Me & nose ring are in complete agreement here.

[smittyallsports]

Guy would have been out my at least 20 feet. We'd all watch posey with the ball as gordon still barrels home dead as a duck smh. lol. I can't believe this many people think sending him was the right choice.

[Dr. Fager]

Game 7 WS, you're the last out for your team's chances to stay alive. Why wouldn't you bust out of the box? Give him a pay raise, will provide incentive perhaps next time.
