In between 2 month stints on the DL, sure, maybe. But the fact that we may as well play with 2 OF and a broom with a glove on it propped up in LF when he's out there sort of matters. I think that's overstating Solers defensive deficiency. He's better than Schwarber was defensively and has a solid throwing arm. He's no Heyward but nobody is. Nah. Soler is really really bad defensively. There's no overstating it. -
I'm already mildly drunk

ha ha ha this is so bad

lol

i don't even know what this means he's been fine for a backup. he's not better than jay. That's [expletive] crazytalk. Not that he's better than Jay, but that he's been fine for a backup. he's racked up yards while losing against mostly bad defenses while facing no pressure and scoring few points
-
Hoyer's not a great playmaker, but i dont know what else you can ask for. He's been good. i don't even know what this means he's been fine for a backup. he's not better than jay.

plz come back soon jay

you'd almost think hoyer was a garbage player

Divisional series thread

Elo. Which I wouldn't trust as much as team WAR type projections that Fangraphs does...but somehow I still think 538 is closer to the mark. Whatever. Huh? He asked what FG uses. -
god i'm glad i don't go into these game threads during the games

After seeing some of the losses that didn't correlate with their percentages, I've grown to put little faith in their percentages. I believe the Nats were 60/30 favorites too for game 5. At the end of the day, it's baseball. You can put statistics behind it, but the randomness (especially in October) can take over at any moment with one or two out of the norm plays. i mean, 30% is still a very possible outcome. i'd still rather be the 70% team though. 70% doesn't mean 100% tho.

Right, was not intended as a counterpoint, I just heard the broadcast allude to it and found it fascinating. Although I will say the Indians pen certainly gives them more margin for error than the average team when it comes to rotation depth. Gotcha. I thought that might be it. Hesitated even replying to your post.

there's nothing dull or boring about an easy win. example 1a - 2003 NLCS game 2 example 1b - 2015 NLDS game 3
-
Their #2 starter is Trevor Bauer (who just sliced his pitching pinky open) and #3 is Josh Tomlin. Whole bunch of mediocre in that rotation after Kluber.

That's great.

Hours later and I'm still baffled at the notion that the Jays aren't better than the Indians. The Indians, as presently constructed, might've been the worst team to make the postseason (but probably not - the rangers are pretty bad). Second or third, for sure. And they're definitely the worst remaining.
-
Man I hate that house money talk. Yeah, no loser talk before the series even starts. Tempering your enthusiasm is for losers To me, the guys who are talking about being terrified are the ones doing the loser talking.
-
probably posted somewhere but 538 has us at 68% to win tonight
-
All of this, too. Not to mention losing in the DS would've bothered me much more in and of itself. At least we've locked in at least 4 more playoff games now.

Divisional series thread
David replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
64% to make, 39% to win Those odds haven't even factored in the pitcher adjustments... The Cubs have moved up to 40% to win the WS, probably because the Indians won last night. -
I feel pretty good. Way more than in the DS. Really? Man, just the opposite for me. Their lineup scares me more than the SFG, especially nights when the wind blows out. I'm not scared of any of these teams. I'm just scared of playoff [expletive]. Best of 7 makes playoff [expletive] slightly less impactful. Also, since you're talking about the wind blowing out tonight, they are facing Jon Lester tonight. He throws with his left arm.
-
Agreed. It's morning still and I'm already on edge. But there's always drinking. I feel pretty good. Way more than in the DS.
