OT: MLB Thread XLII: OCTOBER

[Machinehead]

Agreed but I was focusing on guys who Cashman actively targeted in trades.

Fair. He needs to not. We have that covered. Address a weakness.

What's a good New York Yankees sports bar in Manhattan to go to? Me and my girlfriend are thinking of going to one tomorrow. I'm seeing Smithfield Hall and Foley's as two potential ones.

RIP Cards

Please sign Geritt Cole this offseason.

Nats have that team of destiny aura around them right now.

It would be hilarious if they won after Harper leaves.

They've looked good but the Cards are a very mediocre team. The Astros or Yanks would be a much tougher test for them.

Not gonna, lie I don't think we win this game with this lineup. It will take a miracle.

Dodgers are pretty good though and they knocked them off.

Dave Roberts had something to do with that.

How is Edwin still batting fourth

Why was Edwin acquired in the first place? Apparently we don't have enough .230 hitters.

Yeah, but...and hear me out...playoff Kershaw

 

[Irishguy42]

The only reasoning I can think Gleyber moved down is that since he's raking, it insulates EE a bit and hopefully get him better pitches. Also, if Cole goes through the rotation twice and then hits Gardy driving him to a 10+ pitch AB and he comes out for the BP, that means they now get EE first...and then Torres/DD. A lot better looking than facing a 4-5-6 of EE-Gardy-Sanchez

DD and Gardy moved higher because lefties vs Cole, though so is Hicks but he's batting 8th.

I wish my job would get rained out tomorrow

 

[Machinehead]

Smoltz annoying me already

 

[Irishguy42]

There is a God

 

[Irishguy42]

Bugger off, manlet

 

[Cassano]

that might be all Cole needs Lol

 

[LeetchisGod]

I just don't have much confidence in Severino in the postseason.

 

[Irishguy42]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if 1-0 was the final score.

 

[Machinehead]

How dumb do you have to be to have a guy as lights out in the playoffs as Tanaka and use him against Grienke instead of Verlander/Cole?

The problem is that we have one reliable starter. That is on Cashman.

 

[Irishguy42]

Paxton crapping the bed is not on Boone lol

 

[Cassano]

We aren't getting 5 innings off of Sevy

Fooling absolutely no one with his pitches outside the zone
