2019 MLB Thread

[Orlando]

You mean they will need to bring Matt Holiday back to not touch home plate?

 

[DeadMan]

Still bitter about that, huh?

 

[Orlando]

No...


Fuck the Rockies.

 

[Bdub]

Rockies still have a shot at the Wild Card if they can get on a run to end the season. St Louis has to play a harder schedule than they do and they are only a game and a half back.

At least you guys have great pitchers. Want to combine teams with the Braves?

Hey Phillies,

Oh boy those hot takes just got 10x more delusional

Rockies back into a wild card spot and only a half game back of the Dodgers. Going to laugh my ass off if they finish on a 10 game win streak and knock the Dodgers out.

I'd be happy if the Rockies just knock the Cardinals out of the playoffs.

Hey Phillies,

 

[Wuf]

Going to the regular season finale on Sunday

 

[Yankee151]

Can we also have the Brew Crew win the division pls. Although, scratch that if the WC is Cubs-Cardinals, the hot takes analysis would be too much to handle

 

[Bdub]

Could easily happen. Cardinals have to finish with 3 games against the Cubs.

The Phillies' defense was atrocious this season. It was the worst in the majors. It was the worst this city has seen in decades.

 

[bruin]

Philly could at least do me a solid and win tonight.

Nope. The entire team has gone into Operation Shutdown.

9-0 Rockies tonight through 7. Operation Shutdown has been upgraded to Operation Meltdown.

 

[Bdub]

Rockies win, Cardinals lose, and the Dodgers are also currently losing.
Phillies haven't won a game since Atlanta beat them to clinch the division.

WOOOOO #ROCKTOBER

 

[bruin]

Dodgers went 1-6 vs Cincinnati and 2-4 against the Marlins this season. Inexcusable.

Could choke this all away. And could see Roberts the odd man out if we miss the postseason. Should be a fun weekend!

 

[Orlando]

Firing Roberts would be a shame.

They will at least make the Wild Card game. Either way, it's not Roberts fault their pitching hasn't been good enough. With that payroll, they shouldn't be losing this many games.

 

[goblue96]

Firing Roberts would be a shame.

Phillies will trade OOTP Manager for Roberts and Utley.

Dodgers going to need to sweep in SF it’s looking like. Everybody just laying down for Colorado. Damn.

 

[Wuf]

Fuckin right

 

[goblue96]

Colorado drew Philly at the right time. They’ve gone full dumpster fire.

Rockies have the harder games and will probably lose at least one considering how long of a streak they have going. They are still going to need 2 out of 3 against the Nats. I think the Dodgers have the tie breaker if they end up with the same record.

 

[Orlando]

I don’t know if the Rockies have the tougher games. I’m sure the Giants would love to knock out the Dodgers.

 

[NML]

If Yankees win two of three, it’ll be the first time in MLB history that there are three 100 win teams in the same league (only six times with three total, one being last year). A’s would (probably) have to beat three 100+ win teams to make the WS

Sox with most wins in a season since 2001, and they probably aren’t even the favorites in the AL.

 

[Yankee151]

Meanwhile, the Indians exist, I think

This rules.

 

[Wuf]

Goddamn the Cardinals shat the bed. Clinched playoff spot! Can't wait for Sunday, Go Rocks

 

[Bdub]

I'm conflicted, I don't want my Braves having to face the Rockies. At the same time, seeing the Dodgers miss the playoffs would be beautiful.

 

[bruin]

Go Nats

 

[Wuf]

Go Nats

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Wuf a baseball fan now

[silverwheels]

I've only been a Dodgers fan since OKC got their AAA team but I'm having one in celebration tonight!

 

[Wuf]

[bruin]

I like how the tiebreaker games are afternoon games on a Monday. Way to tank your audience for the most exciting games of the year.

(I know it's because of travel, but still, maybe find a way to show both of these games in primetime?)

Stop being a pussy and duck work

ESPN must protect The Shield at all costs.

Didn't even think of that. LAWD. What the hell are you doing, MLB?

 

[GatorTD]

Yes because putting both MLB play-in games at the same time would have went over so fucking well right? Especially against a decent looking MNF matchup.
