Joe put a fork into that one and if Perk gets save # 15 then the Pirates will be done.

A stand-up double that involved him sliding in to 2nd.

The nature of his hit is not affected by his foot speed. That was a stand up double. And he needed to slide to earn it. :)

So if we hold the lead...does that give Joe  +1 WAR for today? I mean, he hit a homerun, which won a game (hopefully)?  PS Still think WAR is dumb if that isn't the case

Hope, yes. But counting wins before they're won is very dangerous. I'm superstitious that way. :)

Sounds like you are looking for Win Probability Added. It won't be +1.0 for a solo homer in the top of extra innings, but it surely raised our chances from slightly below 50-50 to well above.

Best thing about playing East Coast baseball is going to bed early after the game...thanks a lot National League for ruining that

It's not like you have to get up and teach school or anything. Suck it up, man! ;)

ChiTown, do you want to administer the anti-jinx beatdown, or shall I?

You. I'm watching the game.

The Pirates announcers are focused on some blonde girl sitting in the outfield bleachers who they are relying on for rally karma.
