Bird in a Blender posted:The 30 for 30 on it had a couple interviews with people in the stands near him and they seemed almost gleeful and being complete shitheads toward the dude. Some people are just loving assholes. IIRC he almost entirely dropped off the grid and moved to Arizona It's not like the cubs didn't totally poo poo all over the field after the Bartman play anyway, not to mention Dusty just leaving Prior out there on fumes until it was too late. He probably shouldn't have even gone out for the 8th inning either

Them Orioles, man.. I'm trying to not get swept up in it only to have the crushing reality of defeat bring me back down to earth but it's hard not to with games like last night's. I've been having fun watching the O's play for the first time in a long time which is not what I expected leading up to the Mancini trade.

SilvergunSuperman posted:Never mind the blue Jays have dropped 2 straight to the fuckin Orioles, lmao. The Blue Jays are not a team ready for post-season baseball. Even if they back into a playoff spot, they're not going anywhere. Key Stat: They are 9 games below .500 when facing a team which is .500 or better (which will be 10 games below after Baltimore completes the sweep today.) San Diego is the only other team which is above .500 which comes anywhere close to that poor a showing against other teams above .500.

Nodoze posted:IIRC he almost entirely dropped off the grid and moved to Arizona Like many sports scapegoat moments the whole Steve Bartman incident gets misremembered in so many ways. It was the 8th inning not the 9th like you might be led to believe, the Cubs were still ahead by three runs at that point, many other people in the stands put their hands up to catch it as well, it’s not even immediately certain that Alou would have caught that ball, and the Cubs continued to poo poo the bed long after the play was relevant. I saw that game in real time at my college dorm and we all thought the fans and even the broadcasters were being shitheads by continuing to fixate on Bartman instead of the Cubs sucking rear end as a whole. It’s like how everybody fixated on Buckner for letting that ball go through his legs in the 86 series when the Mets had already tied the game on a wild pitch and it would have at least gone to extras no matter what he did.

Yeah let's not forget that the next batter hit an easy ground ball that would have made it runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs and the SS just completely biffed it.

Yeah and it was only game 6 in both instances. The Cubs had a 3-1 series lead at one point too

The key difference with Buckner is that the reason he was on the field was because he was employed by the Boston Red Sox to play Major League Baseball, and had been announced in the lineup playing first base. Like it still sucks and he shouldn't have gotten anywhere near as much poo poo as he did, but it was in fact his job to play baseball in that instance.

The best thing about this season, is that after dumpstering mcmagic 3/4 of the year might be he turns out to be 100% right and this Yankee team is smoke and mirrors and the wheels will fall off hard and fast. Then again they will win the division even if they play like .350 ball the rest of the way and anything can happen in the playoffs.

In the last 2 months the Yankees have pretty much done exactly what they needed to gag away every winable 1 run game. Just reverting back to the losers they were from last year and most of the last decade of not being good enough.

I wouldn't really count Kelenic since he's effectively an emergency injury replacement at this point. the worst everday player on the Mariners by fWAR is Marco who has been bouncing around 0.1/negative WAR all year.

IDK what they were expecting. The fact is this was a poorly built team from a position player standpoint that got EXCEPTIONAL pitching for the first 2 months of the season and a hall of fame year from Judge. When the pitching normalized and a few guys got hurt it reverted to the mediocre team it was previously. Not complicated. The FO also bought into the hype and completely failed to materially improve the roster at the deadline. mcmagic fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Aug 10, 2022 |
