    That was the Braves.

    Not only that-here’s the list of 2B with multiple seasons of wRC+ of at least 160 in the postwar era: Joe Morgan Jose Altuve Thats it. That’s the list.

    I mean, that isn’t really fiddling with the order. It actually makes it more like the regular season.

    I’ve been thinking the whole time I’d start Garcia in Game 5 if the series is 3-1, just to try to save Verlander for Game 1 of the WS.

    Strong “show me a third win on this schedule” vibes here. This team is capable of winning-or losing-every remaining game. That’s been the case all year, wild week-to-week board mood swings notwithstanding.
  6. formermav43
    Please. Ewers looks worse than Tyrone Swoopes today.
  7. formermav43
    Javier so he would be available in a potential game 7 if needed. Don’t think they’d let McCullers pitch on short rest given his injury.
  8. formermav43
    No, they DIDN’T move him from lead off. And that faith in him was rewarded.

    Counter counter counterpoint: not vs. Severino.
  10. formermav43
    This post is way more petulant and whiny than anything he said.
  11. formermav43
    If it makes you feel better, he got angry too.
  12. formermav43
    Somebody has to DH. There’s not a lot of options. Him or Mancini.
  13. formermav43
    Dubon is only there as a defensive replacement. He didn’t start in the DS when Verlander pitched, he wasn’t going to start today.
  14. formermav43
    More concisely stated.

    To be fair to Colt, that’s ignoring the context of replacing essentially his entire national championship winning, NFL playing OL between his freshman and sophomore years. It was a stupid idea at the time, and it only looked worse in hindsight.
  16. formermav43
    Let’s not forget the contingent who wanted to replace Colt with John Chiles.

    You’re right in the last paragraph about the reason for 162 games, but it’s irrelevant to the playoffs at this point. If they prioritized truly measuring which team was best, they’d go back to 2 divisions and an LCS only format for the playoffs (I’d say World Series only like in the real old days, but there’s just too many teams now for that to really be fair, especially with unbalanced scheduling). With that large a sample size, you really shouldn’t have 6 playoff teams to begin with. But the playoffs aren’t about the good of the sport, they’re about money. I wonder how upsets impact that-that’s where it will matter.

    How do you think?
  19. formermav43
    And that’s why.
  20. formermav43
    Not if you’re doing it right. I’ve always valued this board for everything BUT that. I never post on game threads, haven’t even checked one during a game in years. They’re the worst.
  21. formermav43
    And yet, we’ve outscored opponents 69-20 in the 3rd quarter. Guess it takes awhile for those halftime adjustments to kick in.
  22. formermav43
    But Sark DID figure it out to a large extent. Ewers missed wildly on some open deep balls he normally hits, he missed a couple of wide open reads, and, of course, there was the Cain drop (not his fault).
  23. formermav43
    After being so adamant that it was targeting-he said something like it was the clearest example he’d ever seen-to then kind of, sort of, maybe, meekly retract it on the SAME ANGLE was pretty lame.
  24. formermav43
    His commentary is not bad. His vision evidently is.
  25. formermav43
    Well your eyes are slightly better than RG3’s, I guess, but I’d recommend an appointment with an optometrist.
