  1. Defense has played well enough to win this game. Who expected that?
  2. Cardinals getting no hit by this bum lmao
  3. Position fWar: Astros 40.8; Yankees 34.8. Pitching fWar: Astros 23.7; Yankees 18.1. The Astros are markedly better than the Yankees, but it’s still just a seven game series.
  4. lol the Cardinals are fucked if they lose this game.
  5. lol. with the departure of the Dodgers, the Yankees and Astros are clearly the two best teams left in the postseason
  6. lol there were people who insisted on here that Verlander pitched arguably as well as Cole this season.
  7. Imagine if the NBA made a substantial change to the diameter of the rim for the postseason one year without telling anyone about it. Do you think that would be a scandal?
  8. Just because each team uses the same balls doesn't mean that some teams will be advantaged by the change to the dead ball while others will be disadvantaged. For instance, a team with a lot of fly ball pitchers would be better off playing a team with a lot of ground ball pitchers using the dead ball. It's also joke to make a major change to the ball in the postseason without warning. Are they going to start making changes to the ball between series? Between games? It's bush league.
  9. Wow, maybe it really was intentional. I have no qualms with using a dead ball, but making such a dramatic change for the postseason is bush league.
  10. Or the MLB could simply be incompetent. I don't know if they intended to use a dead ball for the postseason.
  11. The analysis is based off of quality of contact, so the quality of pitching is irrelevant. Also, the air temperature for the postseason games so far has been greater than the average air temperature for the regular season. So, for instance, a playoff baseball hit 100 mph at 26 degrees launch angle is much less likely to result in a home run than a regular season baseball hit at the same velocity and angle at a given park.
  12. 50% fewer homeruns than expected is an insanely massive change. What the fuck is the MLB doing?
  13. Why did the MLB make a massive change to the ball for the postseason?
  14. I like Urquidy a lot, but JV at 70% > Urquidy at 100%. Also, while I would obviously prefer to have both JV and Cole available on Thursday, I prefer Cole starting that game than JV. Hopefully Cole can hold Tampa down and our bats will finally wake up.
  15. oh those wily, criminal poors
  16. How did Cosmi only have a 0.84 rating on the 247 composite as a recruit?
  17. lol the NBA and its players don't give a fuck about that.
