Angels flatout denied there's an issue, care to explain how are they culpable or why wasn't this caught by MLB, THEN?

You’re saying the Angels are denying they knew when that article clearly says they were made aware.

read the Angels release..... it doesn't matter what this guy said..... the same statement they've stated since it occurred

So it’s he said she said, not so sure why you’re so convinced the Angels side is the correct one

because why are they culpable, is the point, and why wasn't MLB notified see where the slippery slope begins

Who said they’re culpable?

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Who said they’re culpable?

but the point is you're opening a Pandora's Box type of scenario, if you believe what this Kay says

I guess but I don’t see the motivation to make something like this up?

Brantley nailed a dude in the dugout with a foul ball

And now the Astros have something going against Ottavino

I passed on 4K on prime day.

Will reconsider in a couple of years.

When I came home from hockey and said “MLB Playoffs” into the remote, it kept telling me I couldn’t watch because it’s in 4K. Had to find the channel the old fashioned way.

 

[smithformeragent]

Wow

 

[BigGoalBrad]

This is gonna probably be a very unpopular post but I think we should go the Nationals route and add a big time starter like they did with Corbin. Obviously it would come at the expense of one of our bats.

Wouldn't even be the worst thing to have 5 established starters just give guys extra days rest when there is an off day.

I feel a lot better than most about Sale/Price/Eovaldi not being finished and still having some good pitching left in them.


Can't believe how bad Houston has been this series. NYY better take this gift and win tonight.

 

[JRull86]

Sit down and shut up Sanchez, you should've been out the pitch before.

 

[JRull86]

BOOM

HOU needed that win badly.

 

[McGarnagle]

Correa!

Suck it Yanks

Boy analytics really saved the Yankees tonight.

Guessing @LSCII is having a good chuckle.

Analytics are great, and have a place in all sports. But you can't 100% rely on them like it seems Boone has through 2 games this series.

That's exactly right. Use them to get a statistical advantage you can possibly exploit, but even then, it's just playing with the odds and you can still fail. Which is why I was so adamant over my view of the Dodgers series.Roberts made some weird moves, but given he'd followed the analytics over the last few years, it's laughable to say all the miscues were because he decided to use his gut and threw the advanced stats away.

I'm sure all the mistakes were done by gut feeling and had Boone simply followed the plan, they'd have won going away...

 

[EverettMike]

Molly Knight, who wrote an entire book about the Dodgers organization, wrote this in her piece about last night:

"There’s a huge misconception that Dave Roberts is some sort of analytics puppet. But his late-inning playoff blunders have nothing to do with analytics. They’re all gut. Which is terrifying."

No, Dodger fans — you did not deserve to have the season...

For the Monday crowd who might feel like engaging Lonnie's latest baseball thread troll job.

Looking like a Nationals - Astros WS

It will be interesting to see what Rendon gets

 

[McGarnagle]

In the snippets of the 4 or 5 Cardinals games I've seen this postseason, Ozuna stands out as a butcher in the field. He won a Gold Glove in 2017, but half the time it looks like he has no idea where a ball is going.

 

[CDJ]

Got a good arm but his athleticism has taken a down turn and he’s pretty bad out there these days

 

[CDJ]

These nationals starters....sheesh

Corbin going game 4?
