MLB Thread

[Evil Vito]

He has no chance at making the majors. He hit a few HRs in the instructional league but now that he's facing actual prospects he's getting dominated as expected. He hasn't been able to square up to 90 MPH fastballs.

But the thing is...EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS it was a publicity stunt/money grab. But I fail to see why that matters. The Mets are making free money off of this as are the fucking Arizona Fall League.

It's like Keith Law's bosses at ESPN told him he needed to write about Tebow, and he's butt hurt about it.

[Evil Vito]

Bautista said that "circumstances" are against the Jays and implied the fix was in.

Why would the league want to rig a World Series against Toronto?

[Evil Vito]

OH I get it. The league won't allow a Canadian team to win during a Presidential election year.

Oh wait...

[Clerk]

Indians will win the WORLD Series. Now there's gonna be 2 Champions. Indians and Cavaliers. It's biblical

[Droford]

Bautista said that "circumstances" are against the Jays and implied the fix was in.

Why would the league want to rig a World Series against Toronto?

So LeBron James can say he won another championship by coming back to Cleveland

[screech]

Feel like the strike zones have been all over the place for everyone in these playoffs.

[Clerk]

Yes droford, Lebron James is the best basketball player in the world.

[Clerk]

Anyone else think they should change the name of the World Series to the National Series?

[Droford]

LeBron James will take credit for the Indians winning

[Clerk]

LeBron James will take credit for the Indians winning

He should get a little. Great motivator

[Emperor Smeat]

Canadian courts recently ruled against banning the Indians logo from being worn on Cleveland's jerseys for their ALCS games in Toronto.

Whole issue started after an indigenous Canadian activist filed a suit against the team claiming the logo and team name violated Canada's human right code.

MLB deferred on the side of Cleveland but did tease they understand why some would find the name and logo offensive. Also deferred because they legit had no time to even consider the idea of postponing or moving the games to a different location because of how late it was filed.

[Lock Jaw]

Cleveland pitcher with a mangled pinky...... busted open his stitches already and gushing everywhere...... what did they expect..... did they think it would not open up........

[Lock Jaw]

Respect to the dude to even attempt throwing with that pinky.......

[ClockShot]

Bauer's done. Stiches opened up.

Now it gets interesting.

[Lock Jaw]

Jays can't capitalize on the two walks.... damn..... was unusual/unfortunate situation, but I would have taken a run or two from it, not picky............

[Droford]

He should get a little. Great motivator

I want a little credit in the Indians 2016 World Series ChampionsDVD too then

[Droford]

Droford said on a wrestling message board the Indians would sweep the Red Sox and beat the Jays in 5(or less)

[Droford]

I should have predicted a sweep

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Nobody cares Droford.

In more interesting news, this series has been ridiculously close. Credit to Cleveland. They're stifling an offense with a depleted pitching staff. Francona doing a marvelous bullpen job this postseason.

[ClockShot]

WELL IT'S TIME!

IT'S TIME!

IT'S MILLER TIME! TIME! TIME! TIME!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Feel like it's looking bleak for the Jays. Unfortunately.

[Droford]

Nobody cares Droford.

I care. I'm basically going to have nailed my 3 predictions right on the nose with the 4th (Dodgers in 7) looking good too

[Emperor Smeat]

If Cleveland manages to win the World Series this year, Cubs should legit consider making a special trade deal to get Francona as their manager. Would have broken 2 big curses/droughts and would go down as one of the greatest ever if he broke a 3rd one.

Maybe 4 if you consider the White Sox breaking their long drought as "by association" since they had to go through Francona's Red Sox in the playoffs that year.

[Evil Vito]

The Indians would be absolute fucking retards to get rid of Francona.

[Emperor Smeat]

Maybe if the Cubs sweetened the deal although they could also just wait another 2 years since that is when Francona's current deal expires before the option years become a possible factor.

Then again whole thing assumes Francona wins the World Series and has some mythical curse breaking aura around him.

[Droford]

Cleveland should keep him but send him to the Browns.

[ClockShot]

Indians either gonna send Kluber out for the Mortal Kombat "Finish Them" this afternoon. Or Clevinger to give Toronto some kind of hope.

[Evil Vito]

If the Indians win tonight, they're going to be idle for a full week while the NLCS won't end until Thursday at the earliest, possibly not until the weekend.

Feel like its happened a lot in the past decade but excessive rest seems to hurt teams going into the World Series. Not much you can do about it.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Indians locked in. Jays are kind of lolworthy, Cleveland is the much tougher team of the two. Love'm but lost even more HESPECT for Bautista for his "circumstances" comment. So disrespectful.

Jays need a new manager who makes in game adjustments. They aren't going to get one because Gibby just had a 2nd run in the ALCS but this is as far as his managing style can get a team.

Francona is a fucking beaut.

And yeah elongated rest could hurt the Indians.

I always thought the Indians were good. I didn't have any idea why anyone was favouring the Jays. Jerkbag.

Dumb Canada rigging the game

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Wonder what Bautista thought of the circumstances of this game.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

What did I miss about Bautista?

[Emperor Smeat]

Implied MLB and/or umps are rigging the series in Cleveland's favor since they don't want a Canadian team in the World Series.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

He is full of shit

[Damian Rey 2.0]

To say the least.

[Clerk]

Wtf is that idiot talking about? Officiating was terrible. Rigged for the blue jays

[Lock Jaw]

Must have missed when/where he said that..... haven't heard about that......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2016/10/16/indians-blue-jays-umpires-strike-zone-andrew-miller/92220168/

[RP]

tbh. I'm not worried. I dunno. Just telling you guys. I'm not sweating this at all.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

2 more games in LA and two shutouts. I think I'd be sweating.

[Frank Drebin]

Take away their hitting advantage is easy. They like to work the count. The starter piles up pitches and before you know it, you're into middle relief in the 6th inning at the beginning of a series. That may work in the regular season, but not in the playoffs. If you have a starter who is confident in his stuff, and he pounds the strike zone, the Cubs are in trouble.

[Ruien]

It's awesome to see a ton of Cub fans at the LA stadium. Chicago fans travel so well in every sport.

[Evil Vito]

I think the Cubs will be fine. Every team has a couple of clunkers in a row. Plus Hill's been great at Dodger stadium.

The Dodgers are running out a 20 year old in Game 4. Tough to see him not having jitters and struggling.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

It'll be interesting if Jays can get it to game 6. It'll be tough, they're pretty much playing against themselves until it's Miller time.

Game 6 means Cleveland could potentially start getting jittery, and they don't have the benefit of good pitching matchups until they go into the bullpen. However, I don't see a Francona managed team coughing up a 3-0 lead.

[Clerk]

Who dat!? Who dat!? Said they don't beat them Indians? No one sucka

[Lock Jaw]

Miller Time and Jays still down 3-0...... not looking promising at all.......

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Yikes. Miller is MVP?

[Lock Jaw]

Jays lose..... got excited there for a minute after Bautista hit lead off double..... but Jays offense once again does not deliver tonight......

R.I.P. Jays

[Lock Jaw]

I guess I will now throw my support behind the Chicago Cubs........

From all self-respecting sports fans, in the U.S. and Canada, who don't think you deserve to have a voice in pro sports, and should lose all the teams you have by Chapter 7.

> = (

[Evil Vito]

Cool @ Cleveland. Much deserved.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Cleveland v Chicago for the World Series would be amazing. Hoping that's what we get.

Feel bad for the Jays. With Bautista and Edwin leaving, I wonder how they reload. Maybe they resign Edwin. But the free agent market is a dumpster firel.

[Lock Jaw]

I have a feeling they might manage to keep Edwin..... think Bautista is for sure gone, though.......

[Clerk]

Lol this is biblical. Jealous ass bitches btw STD fuck off sucka

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Will be pulling for Cleveland in the World Series. They deserve a championship.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Love the Jays, and was obviously with them all the way, but Bautista made a mockery of them and Cleveland's pitching eating up the Jays the way it did was a microcosm of the offence for most of the year. Lots of sizzle, very little steak.

After game 2 and seeing that the Jays were lacking the grit required at the plate, I made my peace with this series as a Jays fan.

[Ruien]

Its okay because your team killed Droford's hope and dreams. That is better than winning the World Series at this point.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

that just goes without saying

Baltimore makes it to world series- Resounding NO

[Evil Vito]

Buck Showalter purposely didn't pitch Britton. He was just being nice and wanted to give another team a chance to win it all before the Orioles win the 2017 World Series.

[Ruien]

Baltimore makes it to world series- Resounding NO

What about Baltimore winning the division? Or Toronto choking in the final 6 Gamez and letting Detroit get the second wild card spot? What about the Ravens going 13-0. What about..... arg nevermind. He may actually go on ignore status.

[Droford]

I'm still serious about the Jets game..at least wait til Sunday lol

[Droford]

Also Dodgers / Indians WS - Indians sweep

The Dodgers get swept in the WS every 50 years. Well..Almost..
1916 Red Sox win 4-1 over Brooklyn
1966 Orioles Sweep LA

It's also a rematch of the 1920 WS the Indians won 5-2

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Droford, shutup

[RP]

Jon Lester is about to go HAM tonight.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh man this dude being interviewed is so awkward, and lol Bryant strikes out.

Howie Kendrick has some seriously baggy eyes. It looks like he hasn't slept in a decade.

THE BEAST JON LESTARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Joe Blanton is the best player on the Cubs right now.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Blanton for NLCS mvp. That ball was fucking murdered. 104mph off the bat

[RP]

That ball got Terminatored

[RP]

Honestly, i dont want to second guess Joe, but i would sit Strope down for a bit. Let Jon Jon do his fucking thing man.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

don't wanna sell your guy out though.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I've heard "grind" used far too much by the mediocre commentators doing MLB this post season. And the players too.

Yes we get it, it's a grind.

[RP]

don't wanna sell your guy out though.

We're not selling out Lester. This is what he's been paid for. This moment is what he was brought here for.

[RP]

What's happening right now was/is the plan. This is Lester's show.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Give him the 7th. Bullpen needs to take care of the rest.

[DaveWadding]

Remember when someone tried to tell me that Joe Blanton wasn't a burning trash can of shit? :lol:

No No NO No No! He's not pitching the rest of this series no matter what. He goes if he can go.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I think Maddon keeps him in until he shows signs of fatigue. Then on comes the Cuban missile

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Isn't Jansen Dutch?

[RP]

Jon Lester was absolutely salty for getting pulled so early the first game. I think Maddon is all in on him tonight. I expect 120 pitches atleast.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Hahaha

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Sorry it's late. I got the closers confused. Chapman... it's Chapman. Leave me alone.

[RP]

OMG i thought Baez ahd that

OUT OUT OUT OUT OTU

[RP]

JAEVI BAEZ IS FUCKING GOD PLAY SECOND BASE RIGHT NOW HOLY SHIT>

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Baez. love Baez. Love guys that can play serious d and do a bit of hitting. Always prefer great d with some nice hitting than great hitting and no d.

[RP]

Baez hasnt made a wrong move this entire playoffs. Like i'm not joking. He is the Tom Cruise of the MLB Playoffs this year. All The Right Moves.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

be happy RDD is not in this thread RP, he would be going out of his way to rain on your sweet, tastey cub parade.

How can you though? It is what it is right now

Well I mean during. The games were all over by like the 3rd inning. These are like hotly contested, top notch baseball games.

Baez is a joke.

Heyward Jablowme

[DaveWadding]

Chapman in with a 6 run lead. :lol:

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

i do find it interesting how closers do not pitch well in non-save situations for the most part.

[Emperor Smeat]

i do find it interesting how closers do not pitch well in non-save situations for the most part.

Yeup. Red Sox have plenty of examples of that in recent times.

Worst case for the Cubs is Chapman being way too relaxed or nonchalant ends up affecting his routine badly for the next game or two.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Wonder where Steve Bartman is right now?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Heavy Baez is mvp right now. Guy's an absolute thrill to watch.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

If the Cubs win it all, they should have Bartman throw the first pitch on opening day as all is forgiven, ala Buckner in Boston.

[Emperor Smeat]

Maybe even a meal of Chicago's finest grass as a peace offering to a goat on Opening Day.

[Evil Vito]

Knowing the way the media operates, if Kershaw has a bad Game 6 they're going to conveniently forget about his brilliant Game 2 performance or him getting the save to win the NLDS just so they can continue to push the "can't pitch in the postseason"/Clayton Manning narrative for another season.

[Ruien]

He will have a decent enough game to force a game 7. No idea who wins game 7 though. Probably the Cubs because Lester will be like f you all I am pitching.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

IMO David Price is the only true playoff dud. Kershaw has enough of a resume now to not be remembered as a playoff great but as a guy who can definitely aid a championship team.

Price is just a straight up hindrance at this point.

[Frank Drebin]

He will have a decent enough game to force a game 7. No idea who wins game 7 though. Probably the Cubs because Lester will be like f you all I am pitching.

They'll throw Arrieta, but his leash will be short. I would throw Lackey. Maybe Maddon makes the switch but seems doubtful. If he stays with Jake for game 7 that's a potentially disastrous decision. Reminds me of the Brewers going with a depleted Sean Marcum for a deciding game against the cards when he was clearly not the guy for the job but they didn't want to deviate from the norm.

In any case, let's play game 6 before we talk about 7.

[Droford]

Game 7 featuring two former Orioles starting. It's Arrietta vs Rich Hill

[Frank Drebin]

Which one do you miss more?

[Droford]

Rich Hill was awful in 09 7.80 era in less than 60 IP

[RP]

This bad boy is getting shut down in game 6. Cubs v Indians World Series. PRINT IT!

[Droford]

Dodgers in 7 just like I said

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

oh my god Droford I really want you to get feces thrown at you.

[Droford]

Well come Sunday night when I'm right again whatever..

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

and Baltimore will still have been eliminated by the slightly above average Jays in a wildcard game because the manager is an idiot.

[Droford]

And the Red Sox who won the AL East won the same number of playoff games as the Orioles despite having 3 MVPs

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

and they both won 5 less than the Jays

[Droford]

http://cdn1.bostonmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Uncle-Baseball-e1476711688128.png

[RP]

Hey guys. We should all set a day to protest Droford. How about Sunday we all make Zach Britton avatars?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If the Cubs win it all, they should have Bartman throw the first pitch on opening day as all is forgiven, ala Buckner in Boston.

No, they have to win the World Series before that happened. Sox didn't bring back Buckner until they had already won it twice in 2004 and 2007.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hey guys. We should all set a day to protest Droford. How about Sunday we all make Zach Britton avatars?

[Frank Drebin]

I wonder how tired Kershaw really is. Lot of talk of him just being gassed both physically and mentally after his last couple of starts.

[RP]

He had a pretty bad back injury. Dude is being a warrior or sure.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Prob not tired at all. He'll be in regular rest

I fully expect an end boss on the mound game 6.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

[Evil Vito]

I can't imagine the Cubs losing this series, they're clearly a better team than the Dodgers.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

In more serious news, Terry Francona has applied the strategy which Damo Ray believes closers should be used. Andrew Miller is the "stopper" in that you bring him in when the game is on the line, whether it's the 4th or the 9th inning, and Cody Allen is the next in line.

I hope this leaks out into how he manages the pen into the next season.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Tito's bullpen usage has been amazing. He did it once they got Miller as well, using him in high leverage situations when the game's on the line, and of course I love it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

http://cdn1.thecomeback.com/theoutsidecorner/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/12/image1.jpg

Think I found it

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

It's how relievers used to be used. Pitch 3 or 4 innings if need be. I agree that there can be a designated 9th inning guy, but I think that guy is made more effective if you have a proper stopper like Miller who is the real shut down guy, not just a "setup" man. Then you kind of remove the unpredictability of the bullpen pitcher. You establish the 2 guys. Stopper and 9th inning guy, and the rest of them fill out the gaps. You should also not be afraid to use the stopper come the 9th inning if that's when you're going to need him.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

HAHAHAHA YES!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

When Eddie hit that homerun you could pin point the exact point Manny Machado decided he was going to sign with the Yankees when he got the chance.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Agree 100% on pen usage

[Damian Rey 2.0]

C'mon Dale. We all know Manny will take deferred payments the first 3 years of his deal and be a nice guy so the Orioles don't have to worry about paying him and the corpse of Crushed Davis big money at the same time.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Davis reminds me of Mark McGwire. Pure power, not much else.

Better athlete but you don't get a chance to see it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Buck has been so pro Dodgers this series it's obscene. I understand him being bias towards the Cardinals. But why the Dodgers?

Oh well. Excited to see if Chicago can Baw gawd clinch the national league

[screech]

Buck has to be anti-division rival? Only reason I can think of for him being pro-LA.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I actually like Smoltz.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I like him too. Pretty much any of the Atlanta starting rotation of the mid 90s could be on commentary. But he's fixating on Kershaw and nothing else, and he keeps saying the same shit.

[Frank Drebin]

Not count the strike

Thats not the rule. It was a live pitch. You might as well start delaying the game whenever someone tosses a beach ball around the stands or the batter thinks of something funny.

Denny Neagle probably has some fun stories.

[Frank Drebin]

So, who's ready for the World Baseball Classic? Can't wait.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Love the WBC

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Where Steve Bartman at? I want an APB..

[DaveWadding]

I also love the WBC, disappointed there are no games in Phoenix this time.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They're piling it on.

[Evil Vito]

lol jeez Vito

you were saying?

[Evil Vito]

It's the Cubs

Yeah and?

[Evil Vito]

Feel like I have more faith in the Cubs than any of their fans here except RP

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I have as much faith as anyone I just don't believe in calling a game in the 2nd inning lol

[DaveWadding]

The chances that the Chicago Cubs win this baseball game are 60/40.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

love finesse pitchers. Hendricks has pitched a gem.

[Evil Vito]

The chances that the Chicago Cubs win this baseball game are 60/40.

See?

[Evil Vito]

Still pretty sure Droford knows he can jinx everything so he's doing so in accordance with his betting lines.

[Innovator]

Here it comes Cubs fans

A double play?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I know cheese goblin is something I've made up and it doesn't have legs. But Droford is in fact a cheese goblin.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

OMG 3 outs.

[Frank Drebin]

in about 20 minutes, I will be $13k richer

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Hey Dreb you have a great cock, can I have a thousand dollars?

[DaveWadding]

Now, I know I haven't been the best Jew, but I rented Fiddler on the Roof, and I WILL watch it. Anyways, can I have 13,000 dollars?

[Frank Drebin]

and I still have game 5

[Frank Drebin]

Ill send you cash, Dale, right after I send Triple A that acid I've been meaning to send him.

And Wadding, well, Ill send you some pics from the Temple during game 5.

[DaveWadding]

You kept the game 5 tix??????????????????

[Innovator]

This is awesome

[Evil Vito]

Unbelievable. I feel close to the way I did seeing the Red Sox go on their 2004 run, minus having a lot of Yankee fans in school to laugh at.

[DaveWadding]

WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE, THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

good stuff. real good stuff.

Good ol' Droford nailing another pick.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They faced 27 batters.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When did Finn Balor become a cub?

[Frank Drebin]

just 2 sweeeeet

[Innovator]

Time for the Cubs to knock those entitled Cleveland fans down a peg

[Frank Drebin]

WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE, THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

Hopefully, in short time, this will be the 2nd best day in your life.

[DaveWadding]

Hopefully.

[Innovator]

Unbelievable. I feel close to the way I did seeing the Red Sox go on their 2004 run, minus having a lot of Yankee fans in school to laugh at.

It took 12 years but Dave Roberts got his

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Let's hope your wife doesn't read that.

[owenbrown]

and Droford hasn't been banned yet, why?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

[owenbrown]

Droford once again was...

g701p3qeIww

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

World Series.

Cubs Vs. Indians.

Curse Vs. Curse.

Rookie of the Year Vs. Major League.

Congrats to all Cubs fans and Indians fan here.

Go Cubs though.

[Frank Drebin]

Just talked to my Grandmother. Reminded me that I'm named after her father who was a huge Cubs fan who would come home from work early whenever they were playing an afternoon game to listen to it on the radio.

*tear rolls down cheek*

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Frank Drebin Sr would be proud

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Two unfathomable Yankees sell-off RPS this year are going to face each other in the WS.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Arod saying there is no correlation between playing well in the regular season and playing well in the post season.

EXPERT WITNESS!

[RP]

You haven't been paying attention.
