Cano and Cruz looking alive tonight! This team looks to have a bit more life than say, the Blue Jays.

Also I've enjoyed Taylor Motter's production. It's nice to have a bench player who isn't total ass.

I'm actually kinda glad that I don't really watch much baseball these days, because the length of these playoff games is just fucking ridiculous. Who knew the Braves becoming a dysfunctional laughing stock would have benefits?
Title: Re: Official 2017 Baseball Thread: Look What Happened When The Cubs Won
Post by: bluemax on October 17, 2017, 11:35:24 PM
Playoff game length is definitely worse than regular season games because of the extended bullpens. Limiting pitching changes and mound visits would help.

Also there's a Red Sox/Yankees level of commercial breaks.

I have Cubs fatigue as much as the next guy, and also genuinely believe that the Dodgers are the best equipped team remaining capable of preventing the full scale disaster that would be another Yankees WS title now that the Astros have essentially shat the bed.

HOWEVER.

Having said all of that, it would almost be worth it to watch Puddles melt down if the Cubs somehow came back from a 3-0 deficit to win the NLCS. You trick ass bitch, posting Yankees praising troll bait. GTFO with that basic shit.

Well you get to root for Verlander at least.

My Tigers-rooting cousin was on the D-Backs bandwagon because of JD.

I was hoping for an Astros dbacks world series.  Once Arizona was out I was hoping the dodgers would make it.

Big fan of Kershaw, but Verlander has been incredible and I'd like to see him get a ring.
Stings seeing him play elsewhere but Detroit would be a waste for him.
Maybe they'll be competitive again before I turn 40.
Probably not   :(

I sort of hope the Astros win.

LA is legit but I sort of have a kinship with Astros fans considering that the Astros were fucking dogshit trash with the Cubbies in the bottom of the NL Central not too long ago. NOW LOOK AT OUR TEAMS.

Plus my boss has already been insufferable. He’s a Dodgers fan and I will never hear the end of 11-1 for the rest of my natural life.

Post by: Human Snorenado on October 26, 2017, 10:40:32 AM
But, like, the Dodgers have been a playoff team most years since like 06 and have never won it. You realize how many playoff heartbreaks we've had? We have to fucking get one. Just one. The Astros will be good for like the next 10 years with their core.

The Dodgers have actually won a WS in living memory, though, and the Astros have never won one. And your "the Astros will be good for a decade!" argument is bunk since the Dodgers have a comparable young core AND the ability to go out an spend stupid amounts of money on players in free agency.

Plus, the Astros have Brian McCann and Evan Gattis on the team, so I'm obligated to root for them over the Dodgers.
