RIPPA Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Yonder Alonso to the Mariners EDIT - The Ms had claimed Alonso off of waivers so that's part of the reason the division rivals traded with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I would like to point out the Dodgers are so far ahead of the field, even if they went 20-30 the rest of the way, would still most likely have the best record in the NL. Fuck, they could go 10-40 and still be like 90% to win a wildcard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That was also part of the joke. They're obliterating their division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I get that it's part of the joke, but we really should be talking about what the Dodgers are doing this year. Only 2 teams have a winning percentage over 600. The Astros at a generally awesome 640 and the Dodgers and there flat out stupid 709. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I'm trying to tune out reality and hope the Brewers fall backwards into a wild card. That's my excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 MLB suspended Joe West for 3 games for apparently saying in a SI interview that Adrian Beltre was the biggest complainer in the game. The Umpire's Union is obviously pissed and even Beltre was "Umm... why the fuck was he suspended?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 By the way, 538 is now starting to forecast percentage odds for the Trolleydodgers getting 117 wins. Currently, they have a 13.5% chance according to their metrics. (20.1% of tying the record) https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-dodgers-have-a-real-chance-to-break-the-all-time-wins-record/ (Also, of note, they've gone 43-7 in their last 50, the best 50 games in MLB history.)

Look up the words "Brady Anderson", you'll see Aaron Judge's future. Also, fuck the Yankees. The one time they're allowed to do anything other than pinstripes or greys and they choose the absolute depths of boredom with "eBay Yankees warm-up knockoffs" style in navy/white.
