y66 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 ST. LOUIS — In the history of baseball, there have been a small collection of World Series games identified solely by the moniker “Game 6.” The most memorable, perhaps, are the sixth games of the 1986 and the 1975 World Series. But after what unfolded in most dramatic fashion late Thursday night, a new Game 6 was added to the list. http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/images/2011/10/28/rnaJmD6V.jpg “What happened today,” Cardinals Manager Tony La Russa said, “I just think, you had to be here to believe it.”More ..

Phil Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 The triple in the 9th was a highlight we will see over and over, especially if they win. The homer in the 11th was more a function of a 3rd string pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else think the triple was catchable? Tough play but there are quite a few outfielders who could make it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looked like the sort of tough play that still gets made 80+% of the time. On a normal game if it is caught it likely isn't even a web gem. The triple was pretty special.

BunnyGo Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah. Maybe someone will do this for the 9th inning: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz didn't look like he had any kind of jump on the ball even though he was playing deep. I think most MLB right fielders would make the play, but not always. It was pretty cold in St. Louis last night too so he might have stiffened up in the outfield - I'm just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOut Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 My son was at the game and said he felt like he was on a roller coaster. Too bad about some of the sloppiness, but pulling the game out twice with only one strike left is plain amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Really, I don't even think the play is 100% on Cruz. Quick manager's quiz: up two runs going into the bottom of the ninth, what do you do? Answer: put in defensive replacements. Washington didn't - why not? Cruz is known to be a poor outfielder. On the other hand, if he had put one in, it might have been for Hamilton who was mildly injured. Still, he does have two outfielders on the bench, he could even replace both. Anyway a case can be made that Cruz should not have been out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOut Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 So the Cards took the series -- congrats to the St. Louis fans. Only right, since they took down my Braves at the end of the regular season. But Texas is good too: came about as close as possible to winning without quite doing so.
