I think Naylor sees Cole pretty well.

You know that dude lost in the end, right?

The playoffs are the whole movie, this series is just that scene. The Indians are Black Panther getting pantsed in front of everyone. But these playoffs are like maybe a directors cut where Killmonger wins at the end hopefully.

[Helobious 9477]

I hate Stanton an unhealthy amount. Utterly fucking worthless. No hyperbole here, I pitched through high school. Give Stanton 10 ABs against me and I K him 6 or 7 times, seriously. He’s so fucking terrible.

[Helobious 9477]

Derka’s hero goes all of 4 2/3s innings. Got fucking shelled. 

[HillaryFan420 121]

I did not expect Bieber to get blown up like this.  Maybe the Yankees are still stealing signs.  

[Helobious 9477]

The Yankees did the same thing to Kluber 2 years ago. Some guys do great in the regular season but don’t have the mental fortitude to cut it in October. Bieber is clearly one of those guys.

[Scraps 13585]

No reason to bring Kershaw into this

This series should put to bed the misconceptions about my baseball knowledge. The Indians were never for real and this game is proving it. Bombers are all fucking over their ass. 

That’s right- because a 3 game series in baseball is dispositive to prove definitively who is better in baseball. 
Note- I do agree with you that the yanks are better, but a 3 game set means nothing.

hey Helo, let me catch you up to speed- the entire "Yankees are gonna lose to the Indians now" thing was said *because* the Yankees should handle the Indians easily. nobody thinks that Cleveland is "for real". it's a gas bro.

😂 i got so much more out of this than i ever thought i would. thank you.

Naylor 3/4 of the way to a cycle off of Gerritt Cole.  
 

Cole is not a “former Cy Young” A-Rod, you moron.  

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Giancarlo kinda fucking murdered that one. 

[Beau Vine 54487]

No reason to bring Verlander into this

I don’t like the yankees

I do enjoy how hard Stanton can destroy a pitch though

Verlander is not even in the same atmosphere of postseason suck as Kershaw

CWS/Oak on ESPNews & MLBN for now. 

[WBT 20703]

Shouldn't the road teams be home in Game 2?  Super regional rules?

[WBT 20703]

Madrigal boots one with the bases loaded to let 2 runs score.

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Mazara didn’t even start against the righty today. He gone after the season. 

[kevwun 15938]

The umpiring crew for the Astros Twins series is impressively shitty.  The plate umpire has a strikezone the size of Texas and the first base ump had two calls overturned on back to back plays.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Umpires calling balls and strikes still is so lol. 

Robot umps please

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

4-0 Oak after 2 now. 

Edited September 30, 2020 by shadow_operative2.0
Semien 2-run yack.

[InkaUtexas 26251]

Nice to seem them back up after yesterday. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Tor/TB underway on TBS, 5 fucking games going. 

[WBT 20703]

If the PA plays 'errbody clap your hands' in an empty stadium, does it still piss me off?

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Keuchel pulling a Bieber, 5-0. 

[TonyTexas 10537]

Reds have 11 hits , 2 walks and zero runs. That’s tough to do. 

[WBT 20703]

Rays score 1 in the 1st

Strong fucking effort, Twinkies. 

[Beau Vine 54487]

18 playoff losses in a row for the Twins.

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

3-0 Tampa in bot 2, loaded with 2 outs. 

[WBT 20703]

Two run homer for Zunino, Rays up 3-0.  Still batting in the 2nd with 2 runners on.  Ryu is struggling

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

E by Biggio, 4-0. This one’s over too. 

[Beau Vine 54487]

Gotdam, Madrigal sucks.  It's like he's Nick Punto reincarnated.

Owen 17.  Use your phonics.  

[WBT 20703]

A's brought in Hendriks in the 8th and he's promptly given up a 2-run homer (runner was inherited) and a line drive single.

Now 5-2 A's.

Edited September 30, 2020 by WBT

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

And a fucking SHITTY call against Maz to completely change the inning. 

[WBT 20703]

And strikes out Robert to end the inning.  

[WBT 20703]

2 outs in the 9th with Moncada up as the tying run.  Hendriks is up to 42 pitches and they're leaving him in.
