Jiji Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 BUT 200 INNINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't give a fuck how many sycophantic Rogers announcers or talk show hosts or whoever say "these fans bitch about everything, shut up!" The Jays should've gone for the AL and not handed the Orioles two games. The game after clinching the division, sure. But the next day? Maybe save the celebrations for when you win something that matters. Just looking at KC's and Torahna's home/away records: KC - home: 51-30, away: 43-37 TOR - home: 53-28, away: 40-40 (on their way to 41 Ls) ---- Do the Angels play the Astros in a one game play-in to get into the one game play-in if the former wins and the latter loses?

grilledcheese Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 And Dee Gordon had himself a day to win the batting title. Big year for him, SB crown, batting title, 200 H. I don't watch a ton of Marlins games, but I know he has been good in the field as well, anyone know if he'll have a shot at a GG or the Fielding Bible award?

Cobra Commander Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The "Best Record in the AL" race could have been different if the Jays/Orioles game on Tuesday didn't get rained out (or if the Thursday game didn't get moved up to noon after a doubleheader due to concerns about a hurricane). I think John Gibbons kinda gets treated like how people used to treat Ned Yost before last year. Basically, if the Jays lose in the ALDS, there'll be people blaming it on Gibbons. Actually, out of the 10 playoff managers, I think the 4 managers with the best reputations are all in the Wild Card game (Maddon/Hurdle, Girardi/Hinch). The other 6 are Yost, Gibbons, Banister, Matheny, Mattingly, and Terry Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Cubs vs. Pirates, Arrieta vs. Cole is gonna be a huge fucking thing. I wonder if this is actually gonna have the highest rating of any non World Series game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've said this before but it bears repeating: The Pirates only hope is to keep it scoreless into extra innings and hope the Cubs eventually have to pull Arrieta. He is pretty much unhittable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 If I were the Pirates, I'd have considered starting Liriano over Cole. Cubs don't hit him well at all. Also, amusingly enough: Cubs are the best road team in baseball, and Jake Arrieta is 15-1 on the Road this year. I still have no real expectations for the playoffs. Win or lose, 97 wins for a team coming off there stretch is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob McCown was raking Gibby over the coals on Friday for putting the AAA lineup out there and doubted David Prices desire for resting until the playoffs. Of course if Donaldson or Bautista goes out and turns an ankle it would be why the fuck were they out there. I would have preferred the Jays went in to the playoffs guns blazing.
