Spaceman Spiff Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 20 hours ago, Momma There Goes That Man said: Oh I have plans...just wait... The Yankees pitching has been pretty great all postseason save for a couple blips. The bats are there and go off eventually it’s just a matter of if their pitching could keep it close until then. Still, the entire team is playing above themselves right now though so I hope they don’t come back to reality for about another week and half That's the thing about the MLB playoffs. It's not necessarily the best team that wins, it's the team that can get hot at the right time. If the World Series was a couple months back, the Indians would skate right through it. Now they don't even get out of the first round. 19 hours ago, DM72 said: I just read something I totally agree with. These last few games at Yankee Stadium, the Astros hitters have looked very Oriole-esque. Impatient at-bats and continually coming up small in big moments. ****ing Orioles. I love em, but they just kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'll say it every year. MLB needs a hard salary cap like the NFL. Opening day payrolls 2017. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/heres-every-mlb-teams-opening-day-payroll-for-2017/ Hmm who are the top 2 again? Oh and the Dodgers started with a 20% higher payroll than the #2 highest team? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Yankees salary includes $21 mil still being paid to Arod and about another $15 mil to other players not even on the team. Also, how did 4-7 do on that list? It really doesn’t mean much. Yankees have exactly 1 WS since they started “buying championships” after the 01 WS loss. Cleveland was the best team in baseball and they are 17th.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Verlander is a beast. Might be too little too late for judge and his HR. They’ve had chances but couldn’t quite put the rally together. One more chance. This is one is going 7 and I don’t like their chances tomorrow night. Just a different team in Houston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Verlander is a monster. If the Astros can get to the WS there are going to be some awesome pitching matchups. I think the Astros take it tomorrow night. Won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to point at how the Dodgers and Yankees are winning with low-paid players like Ballinger, Judge, etc. However, they also swallow contracts like Arod, Gonzalez, Crawford, and are able to go out and still add like they did at the trade deadline. Those contracts alone cripple thr vast majority of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Alex Cora to manage the Sox. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21116419/boston-red-sox-tab-alex-cora-47th-manager-club-history Now that the Yankees are out of the Series, I don't care who wins but I hope this doesn't prove to be a distraction for the Astros. Doesn't seem like it will be. Alex Cora seems like a good guy. That said, I hope he fails miserably. **** the Sox. Who's left for the Nats?

Riggo#44 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm hoping for someone like Dave Martinez. We'll probably end up with Ozzie Guillen. Nats biggest flaw is how they handle the manager position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
