Maybe in some ways, but beating the analytic decisions and making them look foolish is a good part of the game.

And just like that.

LOL....what a way to end that one.

Yikes.

[chockfullofgoodness]

That was insane!!

[flamingred89]

That was bonkers. Wow.

[Sylvanfan]

Unreal....Mens Slowpitch B Division stuff there.

Smith booting the ball will get the press but Taylor's lazy fielding (shades of Trent Grisham in the NL wild card last year) lead to that even being close.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

What an ending!

[GirlySports]

It's not often you get late lead changes, three blown saves

[flamesfan1297]

Well that was the craziest thing I've seen In a long time!

Probably since the Cardinals won Game 3 in 2013 on Obstruction.

Awesome ending. I gave up on my PVR when Rays were down w/2outs and 3-2 for the second time in the 9th......until I saw the final and had to go finish it.

What a helluva finish, great lesson to everyone to stick in it until the very end

Kiermayer has been hitting well and already has a HR off Kershaw in game 1....and you try and steal home with 2 out?

Dumb.

Dumb.

Isn't 2 outs the only time stealing home makes sense? I'm surprised they didn't challenge.

It entirely depends on who is hitting. KK now starts the next inning with no one on.

He was out, so no need to challenge.

I still like it. I think he had an 80/20 chance of being successful, but Kershaw played it perfectly.

Kiermaier is the 8 hitter and has about a 4% chance of doing that again, and at best 25% chance of getting a hit.

Wish they'd have let Kershaw get one more out there. Possibly his last WS appearance
