Wild to see Schildt out as manager in St Louis. Guy had a winning record and made the playoffs in each of his 3 seasons. Pretty sure he won NL Manager of the Year in 2019. Short of winning the World Series I dont know what else you could ask for.

Short of winning the World Series I dont know what else you could ask for. If you cannot keep you job when making the playoffs each year, there should be a lot of openings available. Maybe not ones you would want, but openings. I am not a Yankees fan, but holding off on a decision on Boone while firing some of his coaches is insane. Make a decision.

Giants got the short end of the stick a few times during the game with calls in the batters box as well. At different times I saw balls called strikes high, low, inside, and outside. When you have a strike zone that is that inconsistent its nearly impossible to win.
Hell of a season for San Fran though, one for the ages. Best record in baseball and NO ONE expected them to be part of the postseason.

BRUTAL way to end the game. My god.. Somebody wanted the Dodgers to advance. You get inklings that sports are fixed sometimes, more so in football, but when you see calls like this, you wonder.

I dont know if they need to fire him, isn’t his contract up? I feel like we’re going to get stuck with Boone for another couple of years because now rumors are San Diego is showing interest. Which I think is funny. Boone doesn’t seem like a players manager, aka you hear tons of players go to bat for their coaches in their walk year or if they think their job is on the line and its been a lot of crickets about Boone from the players and I think that speaks volumes. So to think that Boone can’t get locker room respect from professional guys like Judge and Stanton in NY, I’d love to be a fly on the wall for first time manager/player interactions between Boone and over inflated egos like Tatis and Machado in SD.

Loved the Giants this season. Dodgers had a good record but SF was the better team. A shame to see it end this way.
I just don't see Houston winning it all. They started the season incredibly but had that 6-7 week stretch towards the end where they were horrible. They came back just in time to make the postseason but I just don't buy them as the best in the league.

If his contract was up, shouldn't they have been working on his new contract, assuming they wanted him back? Or are they petty enough to not tell him until they find out if he was winning the WS? In either event, something should have happened with him before they take away half his staff. I can see Nevin not being back after getting 22 runners thrown out at the plate. Aggressive is one thing. Getting them thrown out killing potential rallies is another if you do not have the speed or are running against + defenders.

I just view it as a horrible call. Networks want draws. No offense to SF, but networks think people want the Yankees and Dodgers to meet every year in the series to draw ratings.

Yes there’s plenty of people who would want certain teams to get there for ratings purposes. There was a whole game to sway things toward the Dodgers, yet it was 1-1 going to the 9th and no umpiring issues that I can recall. I just can’t buy into the conspiracy theories. What if Flores hit a walk-off HR earlier in the at bat, or the batter before him? Then it’s all over for LA.

Flores was 0-17 against Scherzer lifetime and even walked up to the plate choking up on the bat before the AB even began. That’s why the poor check swing call doesn’t annoy me half as much as the awful strike zone throughout most of the game.

Sure, odds aren’t great of Flores doing something, but it doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have. Stranger things have happened in the playoffs. He could’ve walked to bring up Longoria. Someone could’ve made another error. So, in my opinion it’s not fair to look at it like that.
