But no fuckin way they trust berrios over strip at this point

Berrios seems to be a case where he either mechanically is fine or he's not. He's fine the majority of the time and when he is he's great. When he's not it's death. I can see a world where the Jays decide that Berrios is mechanically fine right now (or they feel they want to risk the upside) and put him in over Stripling.

I think the Astros would still be the highest stakes matchup even if we never found out about The Cans.

2017 still felt like "the one that got away" before the revelation of the banging scheme because duh, that series was incredibly close and went 7 games. The Astros are also the only other franchise winning consistently over this span, so there is some degree of meta-narrative around those two teams as the dominant ones of this era. A second WS match up could end up being the thing that makes one stand out above the other historically when people look back on this period of baseball.

Ok - but we won the first one - so I wouldn't be up in arms if we lost to the Dodgers, it will just add to the pile of "well lost another World Series" that the Astros are collecting.

I would be very salty if we lost to the Yankees though - fandom is a world of contrasts.

They did that earlier this year and he dominated with six scoreless, one hit innings and got the win. Haven’t been following closely since then but sounds like he regressed back to being wildly inconsistent.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Apparently, the White Sox were the definition of average for the entire season.

They were 5-5 in their last 10 games, 15-15 in the last 30, 25-25 in the last 50, 30-30 in the last 60, 35-35 in the last 70, 60-60 in the last 120, 75-75 in the last 150 and 80-80 in last 160.

Check the channels available, but YoutubeTV is offering a 3-week trial, and after that it’s $15/mo cheaper than Hulu live tv for the next two months.

FUBO is really bad for the playoffs because you don't get TBS.

Local Mariners network won't carry playoff games - you should get YouTubeTV or something like that.

I'm pretty sure they were never more than +/- 5 wins. They never got hot or cold, they just kind of played games this year.
