2014 Postseason

[sneakypower]

Brandon [expletive] Moss.

[sneakypower]

also the announcer could not have been less excited about that home run

seriously, get Gus Johnson in that booth

[ConstableRabbit]

This booth is a graveyard.

[UMFan83]

This dude related to Carlos Marmol?

[ConstableRabbit]

Looks more like Byun-Hyung Kim imo

[Guest]

so ventura threw 78 pitches two days ago?

[ConstableRabbit]

What the [expletive] are these guys talking about

[Sammy Sofa]

Why are people rooting for the Pirates?

 

Because we're not 5.

 

That makes no sense

 

Don't mind him, he's a robot.

 

 

I am too, though, so I agree with him. Rooting against the Pirates is dumb.

 

There's just no rivalry. Same when the Astros were lumped in to the NL Central; I'm a big fan of actual regional rivals, so these teams from Texas and Pennsylvania basically just felt like they were coming from a different division to begin with and were only in the Cubs' because they had no place else to go. They really belong in one of the east leagues.

SHUT DOWN INNINGS

[ConstableRabbit]

The color guys are predictably horrible, but did tbs mandate that EJ remove all personality for this game? I keep waiting for him to say "in play; out(s)"

[ConstableRabbit]

O can you imagine if that thing that happened, hadn't?

[sneakypower]

it's really too bad for the Royals that Wade Davis isn't allowed to pitch before the 8th

I don't really feel like there is a huge rivalry with them but you realize the Cubs were in the NL East with the Pirates for a long time, right? The Mets are also from the east also but clearly the Cubs historically had a pretty big divisional rivalry with them for quite a while since they were both in the same division until the third division was added.

This telecast truly borders on unbearable to listen to.

Or that Yost couldn't bear to leave his ace in more than 5 innings because he gave up a broken bat hit and walk.

 

Supposedly one of the main reasons they gave up so much to get Shields is his post season experience and the first time they get a chance to use it the manager pulls him because he has two runners on base with a one run lead just so he can bring in a rookie that hasn't pitched out of the bullpen all season.

and started a game 2 days ago, throwing almost 80 pitches

Right, but I didn't think of the Expos or Phillies as "real" rivals, either. I hated and hate the Mets, but that was mostly meatball-y hate because my dad and grandfather and Santo hated them so much and that's all I ever knew of the Mets. I was a huge fan of the re-alignment and loved the Reds and later the Brewers coming to the NL Central with the Cubs because they felt so much more like immediate rivals simply by being so close, moreso than the Pirates ever managed even with the past history in the east.

Looks like Lester is done. Who started on Sunday for the As?

Gray, he threw a complete game shutout

[UMFan83]

Wow this is a collapse

[Derwood]

oh FFS, A's

[ConstableRabbit]

Annual reminder that Wrigley would be a nervous morgue at this point.

[Guest]

@ProspectInsider This game looks like a microcosm of the A's season.
