2018 MLB Regular Season Thread - Part 4

[Terry Yake]

Looks like Javier Baez is locking up the NL MVP.

Javy has been a pleasure to watch all season long.

he hasn't locked it up

yelich is right there with him

 

[c9777666]

It looks like a Baez/Yelich 2 horse race for NL MVP (Carpenter seems to have cooled off a bit recently)

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Braves bullpen is a disaster. Tying run at the plate.

Tampa winning again...

Minter escapes. Braves hang on.

Didn't say he locked it up. I said he's "locking it up".

Yelich needs to lead the Brewers to the central title and Javy needs to cool off. I just don't see it happening, honestly.

Wouldn't be shocked if Yelich did win it tho, he's had a heck of a season.

 

[c9777666]

Tying run at the plate.

Tampa winning again...

I'm not gonna lie, I don't want Tampa to make the playoffs because their stadium is such an eyesore, their attendance is abysmal, and they have basically a bunch of players whose names seem to be create-a-player.

Like, they are literally Blake Snell and Kevin Cash's no-names.

At least the Oakland Coliseum/Yankee Stadium have atmopshere- what does the Trop have?

Even in 2011 and 2013, there were empty seats galore in the LDS.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Holy shit, they won.

Magic # is 6 pending Phillies game tonight.

 

[c9777666]

Holy ****, they won.

Magic # is 6 pending Phillies game tonight.

Or 5 depending on the Nats

that's what makes their second half even more impressive. they sold off all their talent at the deadline and are 5.5 games back of a WC spot

but the same can be said about the A's. people outside the west coast are just now finding out who khris davis is. aside from him and chapman the A's are a bunch of randoms as well

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

A's just gotta take care of their own shit. 5 more against the Angels, 3 against hapless Minnesota, and 3 against a Seattle team that will likely be disinterested by Monday. There's no excuse if the A's don't do what they need to do.

seems like they've been taken their foot off the pedal the past few games and gotten too comfortable. TB isn't going away either

the only comforting thing is that they've battled back in each of their past 3 losses. just win a few more games and lock this thing up

Smith, Wendle, Kiermaier, Robertson, a bunch of pitchers and recently Pham have been very good core players/stars for the Rays. Don't call them no names just because your baseball knowledge is lacking.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

David Price putting in another dud at YS.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Thank you MLB for not applying the blackout restriction in the LA market for tonight's Dodger game.

Both Wendle and Robertson were in the A's organization. Neither were expected to be above average everyday players.

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah im surprised at how wendle has performed this season. rays wouldn't be where they're at without him

guy was pretty much the name they chose out of the hat to get in return for moss and he didn't show any signs that he could play the way he has in his time with the A's

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Doesn't Bud Black look like a skinny version of Mike Scioscia? They also have the same baffled facial expresssion when things don't go his team's way.

 

[c9777666]

David Price putting in another dud at YS.

If they meet up in the ALDS, Price must game 1-2. He didn't do too badly vs. the Yanks at Fenway last month.

David Price vs. the Yankees..... home/road splits, it's kinda sorta like Ben Roethlisberger's home/away splits

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

A's come out of the gates roaring, already 6-0.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Piscotty just hit one into the 2nd deck in left. That hardly happens.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Solid 6 2/3 by Brett Anderson. Any quality start by someone other than Fiers is huge.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Puig!!! Screw you burglars!

 

[Vamos Rafa]

JWK loves Puig more after that

 

[c9777666]

The A's and Diamondbacks having good clean fun tonight

 

[Tecumseh]

Thank you MLB for not applying the blackout restriction in the LA market for tonight's Dodger game.

So glad that I relocated to the Central Valley and no longer have to deal with that crap
