  1. Should probably win tonight to not fall to 2.5 games up a day before our weary exhausted ball club has 3 games with the Brewers
  2. Anyone notice Gore got the first hit of his major league career?
  3. So funny watching these teams out of contention overextending their aces against us.
  4. Now that Chatwood only comes in for blowouts he is officially fun bad He has an ERA of 9.36 since being demoted to the pen
  5. Meh Joe pretty much punted this game before it started
  6. Randy Rosario doesn’t give up runs that often but when he does he completely blows up. Has allowed runs in 3 of last 14 appearances but in those 3 games he allowed 4,3 and 3 ER
  7. God Murphy sucks. Even though he completed the double play he could not have turned it any slower
  8. I know it’s Scherzer but come on 1 base runner through 5 innings?
  9. *lyrics from another 311 song that probably exists*
  10. Garcia game 1 Hamels game 2. Not sure how the Nats are countering that
  11. No. I was thinking either him or *vomits in my mouth* Chatwood
  12. Nevermind postponed. doubleheader tomorrow starting at 2. Who the hell is going to start the 2nd game
  13. Insane that this isn’t called yet. This benefits no one to keep them here until midnight. I understand the weather situation this weekend but at some point you have to let these players go home and figure things out after
  14. Jesse Rogers still seems to think this game will be played tonight
  15. Dodgers: 1.5 GB division 2 GB WC (with the DBacks only 1 GB of them) 71% chance to MAKE LDS 32% chance to WIN LCS 15% chance to WIN WS Braves: 3 games up (2 team race) 76% chance to MAKE LDS 10% chance to WIN LCS 2% chance to WIN WS Cubs: 4.5 games up 96% chance to MAKE LDS 29% chance to WIN LCS 10% chance to WIN WS My first contention is that the Dodgers make LDS is too high, and my second contention is that the win LCS is waaaaaaay too high. The Braves percentages are all way too low. I actually think the Cubs are spot on, except the win WS should probably be closer to 15%. I think part of the reason they love the Dodgers is because despite struggling and finding themselves multiple games out of a playoff spot with 20 games to go, they have the best run differential in the NL. I don't know how their projections are calculated but they probably projected them to be the best team in the NL heading into the season, and based on one metric (RD) they have played like the best team in the NL this season so they should play 1.5 games better than the Rockies (who have a negative RD this year) over a 20 game sample and if they make the playoffs will play like the favorites. Or maybe I'm assuming that they are putting too much emphasis on RD.
  16. That’s not what I said. I think he was always pretty high on javy but I could be wrong He was bipolar on Javy but was never outright down on him
  17. I voted Contreras but its really a toss up. I was really tempted to pick Gore inside the park HR but he'd have to get a PA to do that.
  18. I love how Bote hits the ball so hard, hits he thinks are easy fly outs are doubles to the warning track
  19. How to close out baseball games by the September Cubs: 1. Immediately put the tying and/or go ahead run at the plate against the heart of the order 2. Thin out the unhealthy Cubs fans by giving them all heart attacks 3. Win!
  20. Have they explained why Jayson Werth gets a day? For all the NLDS losses he led them to or for setting the record for most DL time over a 3 season span?
