Divisional series thread

[BigSlick]

i'm fine with facing LA after they've whipped Kershaw like a rented mule in this series

 

and the fact Rich Hill never looked quite right

Fangraphs thinks Dodgers are slight favorites

[KatJ]

I rather enjoyed that. That was a spectacular way for Murph to choke.

 

A dozen years later, and Baker STILL can't manage a pitching staff.

 

Cubbies down the Dodgers in six, please. Or, maybe five would be better. Wrigley might not be able to stand the celebrating, so best to keep her intact for the WS.

[ScrubMD]

wow

 

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

We don't match up very well with Rich Hill, but apart from that...I'm excited.

[Brian]

do a bullpen game with Montgomery/Wood/Z

What, really? Is that based off of WSAppearance odds?

Don't forget dusty dustying a pitching staff

 

Kerry, Z, and Prior are all under forty. Under different circumstances maybe they could have still been pitching. :-(

[ScrubMD]

wow

I guess I don't know how to embed vines, but this is a look at the insane Werth send.

...those circumstances being where cybernetics are allowed in MLB?!

Can't imagine Jensen will be available Saturday nor Kershaw on Sunday.

Revenge for '08

 

Some tool I don't know irl posted "Bartman!" on a friend's post. I retorted, "Maddon!" and then added that Alex S Gonzalez was the real goat then.

 

Stuff like the Bartman comment are like memes: ppl think they're being clever, but a lot of times they're just displaying their ignorance.

I agree on Jansen. But I could totally see them throwing Kershaw on Sunday.

Lackey's 38. Theo gave him IMO one year too many and too much $, but here we are.

Season to date stats have the Cubs at 2-1 favorites. I choose to believe that is true because the odds are better and that makes me happier.

 

And 538 has it at 64-36 for the Cubs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

538 has the Cubs at 64% to win the series

Lackey is a SSS and also happens to be a horse. Bartolo Colon existing doesn't mean any of those Ex Cubs should still be around because Dusty.

Hasn't Fangraphs loved the Dodgers all year basically because it has assumed health and optimized performance by them?

[KatJ]

 

:shock:

 

Dubious distinction indeed!!

[Omar]

64% to make, 39% to win

 

Those odds haven't even factored in the pitcher adjustments...

Speaking from experience, clearly.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Really didn't face any of their SP this year except for Urias. Of course KB bombed Kershaw last year though.
