gently caress lists you're getting  This postseason feels like it has a lot of Big Narrative opportunities for the Dodgers. Getting bounced by the Padres would burst the bubble of the Dodgers' invincibility against them. It would be a huge deal in San Diego. Losing to SD would feels worse than beating them would feel good. The Mets are asymmetric in the other way to me, beating them bolsters the Dodgers season narrative by opening the possibility of beating three different 100-win teams enroute to the top. Losing to them would suck mostly because it'd be an early exit which is definitely underachieving for a 111-win year, but it wouldn't be as embarrassing as losing to San Diego. Atlanta in the NLCS would feel like a rubber match after the last two years. I have several good friends who are Braves fans so this feels amplified to me. Major upside and downside to that matchup. If the Dodgers end up facing the Cardinals this year it means they are riding some Pujols-infused devil magic, which is terrifying and would unearth burred trauma from last decade. I do not have strong feelings about Philly despite how much I despised them after '08 & '09. Houston of course, would be the ultimate grudge match, like Atlanta but supercharged. A win would make it essentially the perfect season. It would almost be a kind of closure. A loss would haunt worse than 2017. Absolutely terrifying matchup for the stress it would induce regardless of outcome. The Yankees, well a loss would be like a rite of passage as I've never seen that matchup in my life despite "losing the WS to the Yankees" being a comically frequent state for the Dodgers historically. I have come all the way around to "gently caress the Tampa owner specifically for the way he runs that franchise" so that would be annoying. Toronto, Seattle, and Cleveland would all have great "team of destiny" vibes if any of them won. If one of these teams wins, I think I'd enjoy it more if they defeated Not the Dodgers.3 also voting in the poll feels like a terrible idea to me

Sab0921 posted:They're mad as gently caress OP and have been holding on to this for 5 years. You're not. That's the difference. 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.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Divisional matchups in the postseason are great. Dodgers and Braves are clearly favored, but all the pressure is on them to perform when it counts. I will be interested to see how many Dodgers fans are at the games in San Diego with the ticket sale limits the Padres attempted to impose. I’m going Friday and I expect there are more SD local Dodger fans than the team might expect.

If the Padres upset the Dodgers they had better go all the way. Gotta maintain the streak of every WS winner since 2016 eliminating the Dodgers on their way to the top.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:They were concerned because Musgrove's average spin rate was up by about 5% from his last 5 games of the regular season. Sticky stuff is what raises the spin rate. Slippery stuff is for making the ball rotate less and flutter more. Both are effective in fooling batters by altering the normal course of a baseball. If you're using sticky stuff, there's gonna be residue on your hands and the baseballs, regardless of how much wiping you do. Umps checked him after every inning. Buck checked baseballs and bats himself. Then the umps checked him thoroughly after Buck called him out. Nothing. https://twitter.com/enosarris/status/1579285866589011968?s=20&t=Lg1c3hhlmE_gPBL_b3rubQ Musgrove would presumably start game 4 of the DS which will be in San Diego if it happens.

Poque posted:You don't think he would go game 3? Sunday to Friday is normal rest Game 3 is also in San Diego, if they wanted to swap Musgrove and Snell they could do that I guess but either way Musgrove is unlikely to pitch in LA this series. Maybe the send him on Friday and he's available out of the pen on Sunday if it goes 5? But I think they just stick with the same order for Darvish/Snell/Musgrove also, why haven't they announced game times for Friday? There are only two games that day and both are guaranteed to happen. One's on the east coast between two east coast teams the other west coast between two west coast teams, it shouldn't be hard to confirm the start times already. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Oct 10, 2022 |

The more comfortable & financially stable your family is, the more willing you will be to hold out for a market-rate deal or reach free agency. Conversely, the more precarious your upbringing and your family is, the more likely you are to accept the first offer a team makes, even if it is a massive under-pay for your talent. The Braves are happy to exploit this with their international players, which is why there has been this pattern with their extensions.

STAC Goat posted:No one's criticizing the players. Its the team that took advantage of them. This Strider deal isn't particularly egregious for all the reasons mentioned. He's a pitcher with just 1 year under his belt, there's injury risk, it's buying out a mostly pre-FA years, etc. And that tracks with the trend.

bravesword posted:The old theory was that it was a cycle. Players get fed up of playing for a perfectionist drill sergeant type and respond well to a more relaxed, approachable leader. Eventually, though, the nice-guy manager would lose the respect of the team and they would need a hardass disciplinarian to come in and set standards and demand accountability again.
