rickiep00h posted:I'm glad it's not just the Twins fans bemoaning this bullshit playoff format. The Twins had home field advantage (such as it is right now but they didn't have to travel) against a sub-.500 team and didn't win a game. What format tweaks can you possibly want?

Yes I grant that the Astros shouldn't be in the playoffs and I do not want this format to continue, to be clear. I am just specifically saying the Twins shouldn't be complaining because the format put them in the best possible situation within that format. e: Like under another format they'd have been playing, what, the Indians? Still going out I'm guessing (although I guess that series would be a curse-off)

It's extremely reasonable to hate the Rays for that stadium but otherwise I see no reason to dislike them personally

Right and as a fan would you rather be the team that would never, ever let a Jeter or Rivera walk for money or a team that if they developed one you knew for certain they'd be playing somewhere else just as soon as their cheap years ran out or sooner

No I just find it kind of amazing/funny that there are now two Nick Andersons who had bad outings against a Houston team in the playoffs

Charlie Morton is currently trending because Astros fans are wishing very minor disappointments on him https://twitter.com/DelRaz09/status/1317521336051314689

To be fair if we had won they'd have had to see us play a world series in their stadium so I can give them this one

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Real talk about 3rd time through order stuff. Not to go full old man, but pitchers went 3 times through all the time back in the day and no one gave a poo poo. Was there a 3rd order effect 20,30,40 years ago and troglydyte management never realized it, or have hitters gotten exceptionally better in the last 10 years or so? I don't really think it's troglodyte for people not to have realized it since they wouldn't have had access to the data as easily, but there's a lot of poo poo that was done back in the day that analytics came along and said "actually that's wrong." This article uses data from 1999-2002 to show a third time through the order penalty so it didn't just pop up in the last 10 years either. Interestingly it also says this about back in the day pitching decisions: quote:Another thing you can clearly see is that most pitchers make it through the order at least three times, which is actually something of a modern trend. In the past, starting pitchers pitched many more complete games, but they were also taken out earlier when they were getting shelled. so your initial assumption might not even be correct
