Lawful Metal Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 A's wanted the Astros, A's got the Astros. 4th straight ALCS. Also, what cowards to not pitch Fiers even once against the Astros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 There was talk that Oakland was gonna start Fiers in Game 5 which would have been really amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rays will be pitching Tyler Glasnow on two days rest. Edited October 9, 2020 by Nice Guy Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Congrats to the Braves back in the NLCS. I'm pretty sure the series MLB wanted were Dodgers/Braves and Astros/Yankees so they are 3/4th of the way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to build teams over 162 games, pure fucking luck in short series. it's also hunted the bunt, pitchout, stolen base, and hit & run out of existence and thus made baseball a lot less fun to play, let alone watch (and they wonder why the young demographic shuns them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyWhioux Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Imagine some clown GM/Manager trying to tell Rickey god damn Henderson not to steal bases because the analytics say it's suboptimal. God. Tony Gwynn would have hit .500 against this shift bullshit. Instead every team has 20 Adam Dunns worshipping at the altar of launch angles while every fan base screams about their team leaving the bases loaded every inning because the run scoring slow grounder to second is beneath them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Gwynn wouldn't face a shift and he'd hit no better than he did during his career. Probably worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I still don't get (well actually I do lol) why these millionaire athletes don't hone their skills and learn to hit the other way and beat the shift instead of bitching about defensive strategies. Not one of those sacred unwritten rules? Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
