    Who kicks it off? I have Castro. I think Soler is due to hit one.
  2. Fro
    I think we'll see the Dong Show roll into St. Louis today :flythew:
  3. Fro
    These sorts of crappy zones play into our weakness as a team. We'd have a ton of baserunners tonight with a real zone.
  4. Fro
    Maddon better get kicked out of the game if this crap keeps up Lester wasn't getting those calls in the Bot of the 1st
  5. Fro
    Isn't this basically the money we can't spend on the amateur draft next year because #wearegood?
  6. Fro
    So basically we need to take one of 2 in St. Louis, then Arrieta wins game 3, game 4 is Lynn getting crushed by Cub dongs

    Pure frustration. They knew they were toast. I've never seen a more thorough example of a team being psyched out. They were psyched out on Monday. I know the Pirate Parrot account is a parody account, but trying to taunt Arrieta; Hurdle leaving Ramirez and Alvarez on his bench; completely going against his decision to do that before 1 time thru the order; the HBP; etc. The media here had been optimistic, but it came off more like they were trying to convince themselves they had a chance to win. They were a team that knew the only chance they had was for Cole to throw up 0's for 9 and hope their superior bullpen would beat the Cubs' bullpen in extras. Cole was too amped up in the beginning and then by the time Schwarber hit his HR the Pirates completely abandoned their gameplan. I think a beanball war + smallball could have potentially worked for the Pirates but they waited too long to pull the trigger. No. Pitch counts and Rondon's rest mean nothing in an elimination game during the playoffs. The best pitcher in baseball just threw 113 pitches against arguably the best team in baseball. No big deal. Yep, in the playoffs and especially in an elimination game you've got to ride your stud pitcher until he's either obviously tired/ineffective or asks to come out. Dude was pretty much cruising outside of the 6th/7th.

    . This year's all gravy. Enjoy it. Pressure's going to be on the other teams. All I know is Arrieta has a golden arm and Schwarber always comes through in the clutch in the big games. :hello:
  9. Fro
    Told you guys Schwarber is clutch in the playoffs... he went nuts for IU in the College World Series
  10. Fro
    Keep it loose. Schwarber is clutch in elimination games.

    https://twitter.com/peggykusinski/status/651878970288418820 Eddie Vedder have arrived
  12. Fro
    What's the logic of Schwarber in RF and Bryant in LF or is that a typo? LF is more difficult to play in Pittsburgh than RF
  13. Fro
    Cool and all, but really....they should've gone with #WeAreGood The W Flag emoji is pretty cool though.

    Well, when you have an unbalanced schedule, it does make sense. The possibility of having 3 or more pretty good teams in a division duking it out while another division has 2 good teams and 3 terrible ones allowing the top 2 to rack up a bunch of wins while the other division plays a tougher schedule makes the way it's set up just fine. Remember, what the Cards, Pirates and Cubs did this year has never, ever been done before. The schedules are already unbalanced in the division due to the set "rivalry" games against the other league each year.

    I didn't miss a thread. The old man got impatient and started that game thread right as I arrived to start it. Fred is tempting fate here! Why don't you both start threads and the mods can merge them?
  17. Fro
    Well you need to decide who starts the Wildcard game thread. Don't mess with OMC's streak. I would say he's due to lose but Ole Miss got stomped by Florida yesterday which probably evens out the mojo. Butters has been great but NSBB is 0-6 since 2003 when stacking the game thread starters. But OMC missed a thread in this current streak so he probably doesn't deserve to start.

    Well you need to decide who starts the Wildcard game thread.

    Reds win... fun coming tomorrow
  20. Fro
    Need to close this one out... Chapman's in the game in Pittsburgh. Could make Sunday fun.
  21. Fro
    On to the 12th inning in Pittsburgh.
  22. Fro
    Bases full of Redlegs in Pittsburgh, but 2 outs with Frazier coming up.
  23. Fro
    http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/32081/teamId/16/gerrit-cole Denorfia is 3 for 6 against Cole with a walk, so I think you have to start him.
  24. Fro
    I think the Reds will take 1 but it's hard to see them taking 2 out of 3 considering the pitching match-ups.
  25. Fro
    They will get the autographed Brett Jackson and Ian Stewart merchandise that is sitting in a warehouse somewhere in exchange for their buildings.
