This interviewing of guys while they are trying to play the game is an abomination.

I don't know what any of you are talking about. I am going in person to see Joe Burrow play this weekend. Baseball is dead to me.

Ken Caminiti played in the last game in which the Braves won a playoff series. I have no words of consolation for you.

Frank Thomas(?) played in the last game in which the A’s won a playoff series.

Randy Velarde(!) played in the last game in which the Twins won a playoff series.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Thu Oct 01, 2020 7:52 pm

Caminiti also played in the last game in which the Padres won a postseason series, but that’s less surprising. But so did Mark Langston. What the fuck?

It’s a good thing white Sox fans don’t exist because elimination then watching Tatis Jr. go off would be excruciating.

Holy shit I switched off a bit ago and it was 6-3 I think.

A pitcher's duel is so much better when your team isn't in it.

Yup.

The Marlins winning every playoff series they’ve ever been in is really a thing.

Thanks Bartman.

I'd put money on them to win it all now.

I wish I was listening to A-Rod right now. Sutcliffe and Mendoza, holy....

Cardinals could not score a run off of 9 pitchers. Welcome to modern baseball.

Amateurs.

Weird to see the Astros and A's playing at Dodger Stadium and the ball is just flying during the day.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 7:59 pm

That Zunino PA, even recognizing it’s against one of the best pitchers in baseball, leaves me pretty sure he’s never a major leaguer without draft pedigree.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 8:33 pm

Yankees are really going to regret that Frazier at bat, aren’t they

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:01 pm

Dammit the ump doesn’t know what pitch was called, it’s his job to see if it is right down the middle

Almost two hours later, Bucknor clearly not up to this.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue Oct 06, 2020 10:53 pm

Someone will go back tomorrow AM and watch this for me and confirm Bucknor was fooled by the first pitch to Judge.

Post by **brian** » Wed Oct 07, 2020 11:34 am

Someone, I won't say who, might have put down a speculative $40 on the Astros to win the World Series at 25-1 during the regular season.

would a Dodgers v Astros rematch not be the cage match the country needs this year

Potentially ending like four days before the election. Yes please.

Don't underestimate Dodger hate.

MaxWebster · Post by **MaxWebster** » Wed Oct 07, 2020 1:38 pm

seriously

and probably apart from ... Padres? Giants? fans and despite them being a huge-market team, this Dodgers team I find is pretty damn likable, probably more-so after it was pretty much proven they were essentially robbed in 2017. My wife has been a big Dodgers (um <3 Kershaw to be honest) fan for 4 years so we watch a shittonne of games, pretty much every one this season; i am definitely pushing the rematch narrative to stir the pot here ha.

Also it's crazy - even a year ago I'll admit I was even sort of torn about who to root for in the World Series, those lovable/plucky Astros! .... what a bunch of thin-skinned shithawks they all are (which i kind of love, it's great to have a heel). Fucking hate 'em all. Even my daughter sees Altuve on tv and boos him.

....it's great theater :)

hey Tommy Lasorda isn't around any more so it's mostly safe

Same. It was so sweet when the Nats beat them last year.

I have a (group) picture with Tommy Lasorda. I have re-enacted that scene a lot.

For ruining Octobers since the beginning of time, the A's really need to go fuck themselves. I mean that in the nicest way possible.

My October is just fine, thank you very much. That was a very satisfying win made all the better by the Yankees/Rays going 5.
