Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Grenkie's whole gimmick the past two years has been pitching like poo poo against the Dodgers.

If they'd fallen 8 games back, they would have become sellers. “If we had fallen eight, nine out, we would have certainly been looking at considering moving some of the players who were rentals,” Looking at considering lol.

The shittiest part about the postseason is how easily the better team can hit a stretch of cold bats or face a streaky opponent at a hot time and be bounced out long before they should have. Hell, even last year the 103 win Cubs were: - Down 5-2 in the 9th in Game 4 and would have needed to win G5 at home against Cueto, who they only beat 1-0 in G1 on top of the massive pressure - Down 2-1 after two consecutive shutouts by Kershaw and Hill - Up 3-2 going home for G6 of the NLCS but staring down Kershaw and potentially Hill on normal rest - Down 3-1 to the Indians having been shut out twice and scoring a grand total of 7 runs in the first 4 games (giving birth to the 'The Cubs have the same shot as Trump' 538 article) - Everything in Game 7 from the bottom of the 8th onward There's a decent chance that both Colorado and Arizona own the 2nd and 3rd best records in the NL come October and top seeds in both divisions have only gone 5-5 in LDS series since the wild card play-in started in 2012.

Someone mentioned Maddux earlier and it got me to thinking back when I was younger, when I would be out with my friends in the neighborhood on a Saturday night, and come in at around 9:30 hoping to watch some Braves baseball on TBS and turn on to see the game over, Braves won 2-1, Maddux with an 85 pitch, 2 hour and 15 minute game.

UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:Hey is unblock.us still a viable option for getting around MLB.tv blackouts? I let my subscription expire when Netflix implemented their ban on IP spoofers, but I need to figure out a way to watch the playoffs. MLB.tv is cracking down harder and harder on VPNs and IP spoofing. They ban accounts without warning. Probably not worth it.

It was cool though after spending until the day I could legally drink losing the Pirates spent 3 years playing 8 playoff games until going back to sucking and losing for probably the next 20 years of my life.

Hell, even last year the 103 win Cubs were: The 98 win Angels got bounced in 3 games against the 89 win Royals. The first 2 games went into extras, 3rd wasn't particularly competitive. The Royals outfield that series played like there were 6 guys out there, every play was a miraculous diving catch after the next. Getting cold and coasting into the playoffs, playing with 3 days off because of the WCG is a blessing if you've got injury/rest concerns, but it seems to gently caress up bats a bit.

Is there a stat for how all position players pitched during a particular season? I feel like their numbers are not as terrible as we'd expect.

ERA isn't the greatest stat but it's still kinda fun to scan through this list and look for seasons since Bob Gibson broke the game and they raised the mound. Or really for any seasons since like 1920, there are only a few from the sixties in there. Unless I'm missing someone these are the top single season ERAs since the mound was raised and the rank vs overall top single season ERA.. 42. Doc Gooden 1.529 1985 48. Greg Maddux 1.559 1994 65. Greg Maddux 1.631 1995 75. Zack Greinke 1.657 2015 83. Nolan Ryan 1.691 1981 Pedro in 2000 just missed the top 100 at #107. This started out as a Maddux was really good post but then I got sidetracked. So I'll just say Maddux was real loving good.

Could the pictures be right if the question was most hits by a foreign born player? I'm not good enough with faces to recognize whoever is above Pujols and Ramirez's names. Ichiro, Palmiero and Clemente all went for over 3000 hits though (or exactly 3000).

Ammat The Ankh posted:Sammy Sosa = Ichiro Suzuki Huh, so that is probably correct as a picture lineup of the most hits by foreign born players? Also in order, Ichiro's at 3060, Carew had 3053, Palmiero 3020, Beltre at 3001+, Clemente 3000. No other foreign born player had more did they? Also I'm a big dummy for not recognizing Beltre. I think maybe it's because he doesn't have a huge smile or a huge scowl which are the two ways I'm used to seeing him. vv--yeah I knew the homers were correct by name, I wasn't sure on the hits because I didn't recognize everyone Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Aug 3, 2017 |
