2021 MLB and Rockies AA Look-back Thread

[goblue96]

No doubt, but they are the underdoges playing with a tiny budget and I respect how they make it work. Who else am I gonna root for? Damn sure not the Cardinals or Dodgers or Yankees or Red Sox. White Sox are ok, Astros lol, fuck them. Rays it is.

No love for Milwaukee?

 

[Southpaw]

Yeah they are fine, same with San Fran and Atlanta I guess, but I'm sticking with the Rays. Brewers/Rays would be tight. Not for MLB ratings though lol.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

No love for Milwaukee?

The Fighting Seligs? No love for Milwaukee.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

I like what San Fran has done.

Rays in a nutshell

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Seattle is a cool underdoge if they make it

 

[Southpaw]

That isn't the Snell trade, though. That's the Pham and Cronenworth trade. Both sides did well on that one. The slap dick prospect is Xavier Edwards and is a stud.

 

[pavel]

Emilio Pagan almost gave up 5 straight HR. Nice 16 ERA this month, dingus

I just like an excuse to watch the clip

 

[Southpaw]

The Rays are prolly going to be starting 3-4 rookie pitchers in the playoffs. That is nutso. McClanahan, Rasmussen, Baz and or Patino.

 

[pavel]

Sweet Patino

Red Sox lost 2/3 to the Orioles. Ouch babe.

[Southpaw]

I'm excited for the playoffs. There are some great matchups. White Sox/Rays in ALCS Giants/Brewers in NLCS are my predictions.

 

[adchester]

Red Sox - Yankees one game playoff at Fenway tomorrow?

Bout to stay in my apartment all night to avoid getting swarmed by drunk Massholes

 

[goblue96]

I’m cheering for a giant meteor to strike Fenway tomorrow night. Hopefully, Albany isn’t in the fallout zone.

Better known as Corey's brother.

They are Bob's sons.

Wtf is this mlb ops stat they are showing next to OPS? It says mlb average 100 and literally every batter no matter how shitty is above 100.

 

[adchester]

Lol get fucked Yankees

 

[kella]

Not a good time for your starter to lay an egg

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Not a good time for your starter to lay an egg

Can't believe they pulled him but I guess that's Wildcard baseall

 

[kella]

The beard with no mustache is the worst fucking look. I hope that guy hits into a double play every time.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Can't believe they pulled him but I guess that's Wildcard baseall

yeah idk, Nats SHAMPSHIP year featured Scherzer battling through multiple bad starts when everyone was screaming to take him out. Loved it. He kept them in the game.

Disclaimer or whatever, I didn’t see enough for the first innings to really have an opinion and they have so much data to make the decisions.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Wtf is this mlb ops stat they are showing next to OPS? It says mlb average 100 and literally every batter no matter how shitty is above 100.

What is the stat?

 

[Southpaw]

It says MLB Ops. I have no idea. It’s right next to ops on the screen when each batter comes to bat.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

BA is next to OPS when they’ve been flashing stats for me?

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Is it OPS+

 

[Southpaw]

Is it OPS+

Yes. It would be a number like 122 or 104 and below it it said mlb average 100.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

OPS+ is OPS on a scale. MLB average is 100. Yankees and Red Sox are both top 15 in team OPS so maybe you are just seeing a lot of above average hitters.

I haven't seen it but I've been busy getting insanely mad at NCAA 14 REVAMPED

 

[goblue96]

Madpants!

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Quick hook on Eovaldi. Nats approach was such a unicorn in 2019. I remember the Astros yanked Greinke after 70 pitches it was such an obvious dumb call.

Haha now a double off the wall. The BAD quick hook decision saved by the play at the plate.

 

[Mr. Radpants]

Madpants!

This game is an OUTRAGE

 

[goblue96]

This game is an OUTRAGE

Ragepants!

 

[Mr. Radpants]

4 hits 1 HR, UR DONE ACE

 

[pavel]

I want steve levy before aRod. He’s such a mong.

HS education will do that!

 

[kella]

Yankees cursed by too many Italians on the field. Clearly meant to supplicate their long Island plumber/gas station employee fan base, but it backfired.

Gallo batting under the mendoza? Lol

 

[bruin]

surprised there isn’t more of these calls from local guys considering they’re calling games at either home or from a empty ballpark

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Yankees cursed by too many Italians on the field

Anthony Rizzo is italian?

 

[Brick]

DURRRRR YANKESSS LOOOSSE DURRRRR

 

[adchester]

 

[Southpaw]

Tonight's game should be a good one, too. Wainwright always seems to come up big in these games. He gonna have to. Dodgers are going to miss Muncy, though.
