SpiderHyphenMan posted:Saying "Well actually, the Blue Jays are in the playoffs" is dumb, because the Wild Card game is a play-in game for the actual tournament, the same way a Game 163 is. And it's especially apparent with both Wild Card games having teams with identical records. Actually the play in game is part of the post season tournament. Game 163s are part of the regular season. Just because this would have been a game 163 years ago doesn't change that its a playoff game.

Julio Cruz posted:Mark Trumbo is the first player ever to hit at least 47 home runs and to be worth no more than 1.7 WAR. Is he that bad defensively or does he strike out that much? I also am sorta torn because I find myself feeling confident in the Tribe despite how good Texas is, which either means they're gonna blow it against Boston, or this is finally the year. I seriously don't know. Our bullpen might be the best in the AL, so we definitely have a shot. How worried should I be about Boston?

Spoeank posted:I'm just happy my avatar is relevant for a few more days I mean even disregarding EYBS Bumgarner is the anti-Kershaw in that regardless of his regular season performance, come the postseason he reaches pitching nirvana and is completely unstoppable. I'm already assuming it'll be the Giants in the NLDS with us and if the Mets manage to win the WC I'll be stunned. Kevlar v2.0 posted:Kyle Hendricks in 2016 is one of only four pitchers in the last century to have at least 30 starts in a season and not ever give up more than 4 earned runs in any of them. And any minuscule chance he had of winning the Cy Young was wiped away today because he inflated his ERA back above 2 thanks to a Soler boggle and an bullshit squeeze job.

I'm sure there are Cards fans out there that own 14 Postseason 20__ shirts or however many they've been to since 2000. edit: Since Jered Weaver had to leave his last start early with back tightness, his start today was questionable. He ended up not playing, so he possibly pitched his last pitch as an Angel (or in MLB) last week.

The best part of "Dodgers Fear Cardinals" logic is that they blow through both Giants and Mets and Cubs as if it's nothing. I know every year has it's retirements and departures, but losing Ortiz and A-Rod and Jose and Vin in one season is a bit shocking, let alone the assorted others.

I could very easily see Weaver being the same type as Haren, saying that unless he gets a SoCal team he'll retire. I don't remember the circumstances with Haren or if he was a free agent or just 1 year left on his deal but he ended up playing for the Marlins and Cubs his last year.

If you're the Blue Jays, who do you start in the WC game tomorrow? I say Liriano since the O's suck against lefties, keep Stro in the pen as a backup.

The other NLDS teams could be The Home for Blind Amputees, The Elderly Nun Hospice, and a team consisting of 25 kids who always get picked last on the playground, and I still would be worried the Cubs would gently caress it up.

Start Liriano for the Splits, but also because Stroman getting annihilated in the wildcard game would be heart breaking and we have to avoid it. If Liriano gets killed then eh its just Liriano.
