Colon has come through multiple times.

I agree with this one thousand percent

[Kidd Lex]

Nix batting in the 8th, after an ill conceived ds, that's his worst move of many in his tenure here

Yost's postgame presser could get downright comical.

Meh, all he has to do is play catch with the catcher. We'll usually look at the first strike, never swing at a mistake, and when we do make contact (as you've seen tonight), our aim is true - right at a guy!

Great pitch

SIT!

Don't know why people think we wouldn't have chance with the only 2 pitching matchups we've won this series. Of course we still have a chance. It's a lot more likely than coming down from 4 against the A's. It's amazing how so many sway with the wind. It's a series. You have a chance as long as you have an at bat.

Postseason baseball is brutal on the nerves.

NED WANTED TO MAKE THE RECORD BOOK FOR MOST IGNORANT MOVE IN A WORLD SERIES

Odd's that someone will have to be removed from Yost's post game presser for asking the question: WHAT THE **** WERE YOU THINKING??? NIX??? SRSLY???

While stupid here is thought process.

The double switch was to put the pitcher in the farthest batting slot. It sucks that it had to be second base which just leaves Nix. What Ned was hoping for was a tied up game. That way you pitch Herrera two innings, then Davis 2 innings.

HIS WORST BY A MILE. NIX AN AT BAT IN A 2-0 PIVOTAL GAME 5 IN THE WORLD SERIES.

Stop it with your common sense.
