pjfootballer Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Damn, what happened to the Nats? I went to bed and it was 4-1 Washington. Was kind of hoping they'd go on to the next round. Well, I'm rooting for the Dodgers and OF COURSE, the Astros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually got to 9-8 after the 8th, scoreless in the 9th. Nats caught some bad calls too. My team **** the bed, so I've been rooting for the Cubs. Pulling for the Astros in the AL, I despise the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 18 hours ago, Riggo#44 said: September is fools gold: Baseball is fool's gold. The ugly truth that no one really wants to think about is that there are no curses or meaningful competitive outcomes. It's just an intensely random game with tiny margins of victory and defeat in which small, uncontrollable/unlikely events determine wins and losses. The whole season is made meaningless by the brutal randomness of the game which shows up in a short series playoff format. That's why a WS run is so special. It's like winning a March Madness tournament, except you need even more luck to pull it off. If they expanded the playoff field to 16 teams, 8 seeds would win the WS as often as 1 seeds. I think the only way you truly eliminate the randomness is by playing something like an absurdly long best of 11 or 13 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Eliminate the WC play-in game. Have one WC team. 1 plays 4. 2 plays 3. DS- Best of 7 CS- Best of 7 WS- Best of 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 The Astros pitching sure showed up tonight. That is the type of start from a guy like Keuchel that can send your lineup into a funk. But Bird just hit a monster solo shot to ruin the shutout. Altuve is amazing. Barring injury he'll wind up with 3,000 hits and a .320 career average or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they play 5 at home and only 2 on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, the throw was there in plenty of time. It was a little up the line but a capable catcher needs to be able to corral that. His defense has been in question all year.

CRobi21 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Sit the **** down Maddon. That was obvious. Darling saying its a bad rule. Stfu. Tell that to catcher who retired early due to injuries from home plate collisions. Allow catchers to stick limbs in front of the plate base runners are gonna aim for that limb and try to blow right through it. Then were back to square one. Its a good rule. Every catcher has adapted to it. Conteras ****ed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 They are really trying to create some controversy in the post game about the play at the plate. It's ridiculous. The commentary by Sheff and Pedro is mind numbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
