Dolfan in NYC Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Somehow, and improbably, we're here. 60 games (for most teams) done and the playoffs are set. Games start Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I will gladly take the Cubs not winning the WS this year to avoid a total repeat of everything else that happened in 2016. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Glad that things worked out the way it did for the Jay's...I like their chances better against the Rays than the Indians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Reminder - no off days once a series starts. So this 1st round will be done on Friday at the latest. It also means there are 8 games happening Wednesday Afternoon/Evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one FB post around that time was, "OK, 2016, that's enough upsets. You can be done now". Narrator Voice: 2016 wasn't done yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I don't understand pulling your ace after he's pitching so well only 5 innings in. I'm sure analytics says it is the move but I'll never agree with that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure analytics says it is the move but I'll never agree with that logic. I am guessing here but it seems the logic is - if there is a Game 3, he can be available for some innings then and if they sweep, he is ready for Game 1 of the next round There is also the fact that most (not all) pitchers numbers go south starting with the third time through a lineup.

Yeah. Little of A and a Little of B. But this season has been ESPECIALLY bad with managers not wanting pitchers to go a third time through. STATS TELL US SO!!!! EXITVELOANGLESPINRATE! But there's always the hold someone back for a little in a playoff series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
