I am excited for tomorrow and Wednesday. There may be no more enjoyable baseball fan experience than watching a Wild Card Game that you are not personally invested in.

I like the narrative that the two hardest working front offices are duking it out for the wild card in the AL. I'm rooting for both the Rays and A's to go all the way!!

Normally I'd be all about the As and the Ray's but the Twins are alive, at least until the Yankees. Standard gently caress the Yankees and Cardinals

Maddon with Ohtani could be fun, although considering the way DH forfeiture works in the AL I don't know how cute he could get with OF-P swaps mid-inning. Angels however, much like the Cubs, need way more than a new manager if they want to make it to October next year.

Joe Maddon is going to spend the rest of his career hopping from franchise to franchise getting first year guys fired

This is the Braves' fifth playoff berth this decade lol. "Disappointing" maybe since they haven't won a series, but definitely not "irrelevant." That is dumb.

Fine if you want to argue semantics but they make the playoffs and immediately get booted. I will amend my comment to that they're disappointing so that nobody continues being also disappointed. e: never thought I'd be arguing that the braves have been bad while actually the whole time they've been good Joey Freshwater fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Sep 30, 2019 |

They banned Rebel flag stuff a few years ago, then went and introduced a costumed Colonel Rebel after never having one before. Dunno if they still use it as I try not to visit that shithole.

Homerism is good in sports because: sports are for fun and it's fun to be completely irrational in favor of The 'Ome Side (positive homerism, not whatever they have in Philly)

bawfuls posted:The whole thing points to those years too. Halladay and Santana being the top picks, one legacy Pedro pick, and no mention yet of Kershaw or Verlander. And the legacy Maddux pick who was 41 at that time and pretty much washed and would retire a year later. And uh. Had a 3.58 FIP heh

I don't think you'd see a mention of Kershaw as a game 7 starter anyways Astros posters: assuming rest not an issue, game 7 World Series: Cole or JV? zoux fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Sep 30, 2019 |

Red posted:Hello, can someone answer these questions? He's still a very good defensive outfielder and his OPS isn't that far below league average. Most teams have to put worse 8/9 hitters out there. That said, I think the Astros will look to trade him this offseason. Kyle Tucker has looked a lot better this year in limited PAs, Jake Marisnick will always the be the 4th outfielder, and while Reddick isn't awful yet, he's not a guy you want to be paying 13 mil a year in his mid 30s when you're in win-now mode.

Jack Flaherty finishes the season as #1 in the league in WHIP and H/9 which is absolutely ridiculous. First 17 starts: 90 IP, 4.90 ERA, 1.288 WHIP, 8.5 H/9, 10.1 K/9, .771 OPS against Last 16 starts: 106.1 IP, 0.93 ERA, 0.696 WHIP, 4.2 H/9, 11 K/9, .419 OPS against Something clicked for him and I hope it never ends. (Also the Cardinals were 10-6 in his last 16 starts what a bunch of drat idiots)
