OT: MLB 2019 Offseason Thread

[njdevils1982]

I see absolutely no reason why home plate umpires should exist in 2019.

"tradition"

I've watched the Braves, Marlins (x2), Phillies and now the Nats win championships. Add on the Yankees 5 and thats 10 championships for Mets rivals in 25 years. Now that's suffering.

I don't consider the Nats rivals. Same way I feel about the Caps.

The Mets trashbag results is no fault of anyone besides the Wilpons.

 

[Blackjack]

Is this the first time the road team has won every game?

 

[Jack Be Quick]

And for all my fellow tristate area homies, no matter which way you try to feel about Washington, I'd like to think we can all unify with a resounding f*** Texas and most things that have ever come from it.

Except for Blake Coleman and Tito's. They're the broken clock.

It just sucks to see yet another NL East team win again while we're not even close. We have horrible owners and an arrogant ass of a GM. It doesn't matter who the manager is, Jeff is calling the shots. And we have the pleasure of opening the season in DC next year to watch their celebration.

I'm not even upset about the Nats tbh...especially after some of Houston's pre-series off-field nonsense. Plus the whole NL playoffs was pretty much a who you can tolerate most rather than actually rooting for anyone

In any league

It's the first time the road team won the first six games in a series even so yeah it would be. Last year's SCF got close with six road teams winning in seven games but this is probably gonna be the first reverse sweep.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Astros deserve to eat shit for all their off field nonsense and their pimping early home runs like they just walked the game off.

I do agree with this. This series has the feel of the baseball gods chiming in.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Should they have gone all hands on deck and brought Cole in in relief?

 

[Devilsgrl35]

At least Harper is home crying right now though. I take a lot joy out of that.

Balls don’t lie. Umps tried and failed.

 

[Blackjack]

Altuve strikeout in the 9th is just gravy.

 

[Marv4Life]

The Houston Astros are a joke. Complete disgrace.

Finch almost makes Hynes look good. Almost.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Buck and Smoltz are so depressed

 

[Blackjack]

Buck and Smoltz are so depressed

Buck barely said anything during the last at bat, LMAO.

Particularly with all four losses coming in Houston for an extra-special **** off to them.

THANK GOD THEY GOT OSUNA! I'M SO f***ING GLAD THEY GOT OSUNA!

 

[jkrdevil]

yes. It’s Game 7 of the World Series and their bullpen has been a tire fire this series.

 

[NJDevs26]

LOL oh well, there's only one best trophy in sports

 

[Emperoreddy]

I get Mets fans misgivings, but the Astros are so unlikable you have to give it to the Nats a little bit.

 

[NJDevs26]

Because of all the Devil nonsense I didn't really watch so I'm just seeing now that Hinch pulled Greinke after giving up four baserunners in 6.1 innings, sheesh. Teams just cannot wait to find the pitcher(s) in their bullpen who don't have it that day.

And he didn’t have Cole come in at any point despite it being Game 7 of the WS.
