2020 MLB PLAYOFFS

RIP Cheaters.

[Isitjustme?]

Sex is great and all but have you ever watched the Astros lose a Game 7 and then dunked on their fans on Twitter for a few hours afterwards?

Not sure what there is to laugh at? 1 game away from the WS with no Verlander or Cole. Great young rookie pitchers.

[djohn2oo8]

I mean, I hadn’t seen the Rangers make the playoffs since....

[djohn2oo8]

But yeah. Good series. Their window has been extended, with this guy back next season https://calltothepen.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2018/08/1208388826.jpeg​

[Robz4000]

Was hoping for an Astros vs Doyers series for the drama. Now hopefully the Braves can pull it out tomorrow.

[FrostKing]

As I stated after Game 5. This was likely going 7 and Dodgers depended on bullpen tonight.

Ya it is likely a coin flip at this point and I prefer Anderson and this lineup tomorrow

Not at all. The Astros will be back next year competing for pennants while the Rangers are at home grabbing each other’s nuts’. The World Series is being played in your stadium and your cocksucking team couldn’t even make the playoffs in a 60 game season :lmao

[djohn2oo8]

Imagine. The World Series being played in your own stadium and your team isn’t in it. That’s some cuck shit :lol

That’s disingenuous. When Verlander went down everyone thought their season was over and you know it. Verlander, Osuna, Alvarez. Hell, when Cole left no one expected shit. No one expected shut from Dusty Baker. He did well. Letting Cole walk and developing an ace. :tu

By the damn way, the Astros now have the general manager who built this Rays team :lol

[midnightpulp]

this arrozconpollo guy is really good holmes

Super quick hands. His style plays well in the modern MLB where 90% of pitchers throw 98+. I think the scouting report compared him to Mookie Betts, another guy with fast hands.

Doyers already taking the Braves to the woodshed tbh.

did they make it to the world series?

You didn’t answer the question. You brought up the record. Shouldn’t they have been an easy out?

If you are judging them by if they made the World Series, they lost in the ALCS in 2018 and made the WS in 2019. Again, Nobody thought Dusty would get them 1 game away.

[djohn2oo8]

The bottom of the lineup being horrific caught up with them. Pitching is there. If you have that you will compete.

[MultiTroll]

Then shouldn’t they have been an easy out?
1. MN
2. Due to Covid, no away crowds to remind them of their cheating ways. Note road record this year vs home. Also note batting average of Cheastros with and without tipped pitches. Game Over.

3. Impressive run vs Oakland and Rays i will give you that. They overachieved.

[Neo.]

You didn’t answer the question. You brought up the record. Shouldn’t they have been an easy out?

not necessarily, they still have a very good roster

the record was brought up because of the fact that in normal situations they wouldn't have made the playoffs


If you are judging them by if they made the World Series, they lost in the ALCS in 2018 and made the WS in 2019. Again, Nobody thought Dusty would get them 1 game away.

still didnt make it

and didnt win it in 2019

the only time they won it? when they were verified cheaters :lmao

[Robz4000]

No Joe Buck tonight :wow :worthy:

[midnightpulp]

May's getting the start, probably as a 1 to 2 inning opener. Not too confident with that choice. Kid has a nasty fastball and physics breaking 2 seamer, but doesn't have an effective off-speed out pitch yet. He could crumble under the pressure, too. Could get ugly for the Dodgers in a hurry.

Tough start for May. 2 leadoff walks but escapes only surrendering 1 run.

I love the Braves energy. They are very aggressive.

Dodgers finally deliver tonight with 2 on 2 outs

2-2 game in the 3rd

Thank you. Pitching improves. Arguably best in the League next season but losing Ozuna and going even younger.

Get ready for the Kenley Jansen experience.

Coming back from a 3-1 deficit and also being behind in game 7 is encouraging. The Red Sox finally stopped choking when they came back from down 3-0 vs NYY. Then they stormed through the Cardinals in the WS. wouldnt be surprised if this Dodgers team did the same in this world series given how talented they are

[phxspurfan]

Dodgers manager did the smartest move by going with the pitcher who was already rolling, versus bringing in the closer who always gets shelled

[FrostKing]

Dodgers need to grab the early game. 3rd straight round playing in Arlington. I will comment thru the perspective of Los Angeles.

Right now I think Rays because they have the arms.

[midnightpulp]

Reporting in. Let's hope the boys can finish the job for once. My expectations are tempered.

Dude, you don't break the cardinal rule of committing the second out at third base.

And why is that dip shit running on contact with no outs and the third baseman way off the bag anyways?

On paper the Dodgers are clearly the better team, so I’d say Dodgers in 6.

But then you factor in the inevitable Kershaw chokejob, so that makes it Dodgers in 7.

Then you factor in my previous post, and Roberts stupidly trusting Jansen at least once this series, and Jansen predictably blowing it. So my final prediction is Ray in 7.

Valid concerns tbh. Nobody was more surprised than Dodgerfan to see Doc make the correct decision and leave in Urias in G7.

Rays have a lot of arms but I'm cautiously optimistic that the Dodger hitters have woken up and should produce in each game. Hopefully the lack of days since the LCS means they stay hot.

Doc/Kersh/Jensen should be good to combine for one chokejob or two but I like LA in 6 tbh.

[Robz4000]

Rays have an anemic offense at the best of times tbh. They were lucky the Astros pitching was as bad as it was, which won't be the case with the Doyers. Rays would get swept if the Doyers didn't choke as much as they do, but we know that isn't possible. Therefore I'm going with Rays in 6.

[Reck]

Does David Price still get a ring after pussying out? :lol

[Reck]

Kershaw starting.

It's an L. lol

[GAustex]

Kershaw is like watching a slow motion car wreck

[Robz4000]

Welp, if the Doyers' bats are this hot this will be a sweep.

[GAustex]

Gotta give Kershaw props. He held them down.

[midnightpulp]

Welp, if the Doyers' bats are this hot this will be a sweep.

It's game-to-game with them the majority of time. Looks like we'll get this one, but we got a very long 3 games to go. I've seen this movie more times than I count.

[midnightpulp]

Gotta give Kershaw props. He held them down.

Should've had one more inning, too. Roberts nearly out thought himself again. I know Kershaw has a personal video vault of 7th inning horror movies, but in those instances, you can usually sense the wheels starting to come off in the prior innings. He looked in control throughout.

Ya made numerous blunders in the series. Caught leaving too early for an easy tag up in Game 5.

[phxspurfan]

Mookie is the difference. Dodgers in 5

[FrostKing]

Rays have lost 4 of their last 5 games

[MultiTroll]

I keep reading from sports jowrnalists how smart the Rays are.
I've seen 3 huge non fundamental plays in only 2 WS games so far.

[phxspurfan]

Blake Snell more like Blake Shell-ed tbh

Dodgers 9 hole hitter > than most teams #2 hitters

[GAustex]

Nice end of the game relief pitching by the Rays. Good game. Good sports viewing for a neutral like me.

[midnightpulp]

A few stupid decisions by Roberts (bringing in May in a leverage spot), errors, and a untimely shifts were the difference. Dodgers' offense also went into homerun-or-nothing mode. Got them a few runs back, but you won't beat elite pitching down 3+ plus runs with dinger ball. You need to string hits together, put pressure on the pitchers with traffic, and then hopefully it will lead to deluge of runs. Every big post-season comeback I've ever seen always starts like that. Dink-and-dunk your way to the endzone.

How un Charlie Morton like

Series doesn't begin til Dodgers blow a save situation. Looking like it might not happen at all. I overrated the Rays, thought they would beat us in the WS.

[MultiTroll]

How un Charlie Morton like
Yes glad i did not drop some coin on Charlie.
He was great in previous 3 playoff starts.
3 games 15 innings 1 earned run allowed. :lol

Guess he was due for a bad game / props to Dog hitters.

[FrostKing]

Rays have now lost 5 outta past 7 games.

[lefty20]

[Millennial_Messiah]

the only thing that really counts this year is the NFL season (provided it stays on track) because it's full and not dramatically shortened.

Damn, that was crazy

[midnightpulp]

I'm not really mad about the errors, the game was lost before that play when dipshit Roberts once again trusted his lover Kenley Jansen to close out a high leverage playoff game. Shitty 91mph cutters don't scare anyone. You need swing-and-misses from your closers, and what gets that is velocity. Graterol should've closed.

[baseline bum]

How does Kenley Jansen still have a job? Is there a worse closer in MLB postseason history?

[Reck]

The amount of choke in one play. Wow

Over an extended run, I can't think of any. Aroldis Chapman has been pretty shit, but Kenley is still a tier above.

Baez surrendered the lead twice. Few starters are even given that privilege in this postseason.

[MultiTroll]

8th inning ump call, score tied 6-6:

Dodgers Taylor at plate, 1-2 count.
Pitcher hurls, looks like Taylor goes way over the breaking point with the swing. 1b ump calls no swing.
He doubles, becomes the 7-6 run.
The hell is the rule on what constitutes "Swing" or not and how did you guys see that pitch?

Two guys go out. Next Rays Cash, purported super smart manager elects to throw to 2 hits already on fire Seager.

I mean, to me modern day MLB strategy is just loaded with low IQ stuff. WTF would you not pitch around Seager there?

Margot doesn't look very lean/limber for a guy who steals a lot of bases.

[Reck]

The Rays are full of stupid players.

Dodgers will win this game.

[Spurtacular]

That looked safe in real time. Sucks that the ump made the wrong call.

[Reck]

He’s going to outlast Snell. Watch him get knocked out here.


I mean this Glasnow fellow.

You’re welcome.

Who didn’t see that coming? Rays baseball IQ is very low from the players to the coaching.

[GAustex]

This ump seems like he is squeezing the Rays and is loose with Kershaw
A bit

[Isitjustme?]

This ginger pitcher is pretty good

[GAustex]

Dodger fan might be worried

[baseline bum]

So time to throw Jansen out and blow another game?

[lefty20]

So time to throw Jansen out and blow another game?

Time for Roberts to assert his dominance. Throw out Jansen to show the Dodger fans who's really in charge.

[midnightpulp]

Props to Kershaw. He wasn't exceptional, but he was solid, and I'll take solid any day of the week considering the history. 1 more to go, but obviously I expect the worst.

[Mugen]

Hoping Cat Man is solid, I'll take 2 runs over 3-4 innings tbh. Bats really died towards the end of Game 5. Credit to their BP but Smith, Taylor, and Mookie to an extent aren't seeing the ball really well at all.

Outside of Buehler and Kersh and maybe May, i think all arms should available in G6. Should go without saying that Baez and Kenley shouldn't sniff the field but this is Roberts we are talking about so I fully expect those two losers to make an appearance.

Rays manager just lost them the World Series with that stupid ass move

[lefty20]

Dodgers got this. That premature yankulation by Rays sealed it for them, tbh.

[lefty20]

GG!

[GAustex]

What a shitshow.
Cash blew it taking his stud out

[phxspurfan]

Fire that manager immediately. Mid game

[Isitjustme?]

Rays manager choked. Snell was rolling and he pulls him for giving up one single lmao

[lefty20]

Rays only hope is the fact that Jansen will be well rested after having two days off. Let's see if Roberts is as dumb as Dodger fans think he is.

No way Roberts takes his lefty out? Is there?

Ballyhooed Tampa bullpen just ain’t that

Who gets the MVP? Seager, Turner, Betts or Kersh?

Gratz Mid and any other Dodgers fans on here.

Ngl, I'm happy for Kersh. Seems like a good dude and he never made any excuses for his prior failures, always owned up to them. Glad to seem him put all that behind him this year.

:toast. Somewhat bittersweet that the Dodgers didn't do it during a full season and at Dodger stadium, but I'll fuckin' take it. And in many ways, this could be regarded as a more difficult season than usual. Larger playoff pool. Short season, which helps bullpen dominant teams like the Rays. No homefield advantage either way.

[midnightpulp]

Cash's decision to pull Snell has to be the worst move in playoff history. Even worse than the Greinke pull last year. He was at 73 fuckin' pitches and mowing down Dodger batters left and right.

Love it when SABR backfires in the post-season, as it always fuckin' does. SABR is useless for decision making in unique situations for which there isn't any data on. Just because your strategy works over a long regular season sample size where you're playing shit teams half the time, doesn't mean it's the correct decision for a discrete event. You have to manage by "feel" in the post-season, which is something these front office calculator heads will never understand. Taking out Snell in the 5th might've worked all season when you were playing the likes of the Orioles and Tigers, but that data is absolutely useless in Game 6 of the World Series.

It rivals Grady Little pulling Pedro back in 2003

It's that day of the year where we are further away from more snoozeball. Good stuff :tu

Rays weren't scoring another run anyway and Snell would have been pulled eventually. This offense wasn't winning tomorrow either.

:tu thanks brotha!

[Mugen]

What a great run (especially these last 2 series). Turner being a superspreader during the postgame photo op just seals it tbh :lol

[Mugen]

Valid concerns tbh. Nobody was more surprised than Dodgerfan to see Doc make the correct decision and leave in Urias in G7.

Rays have a lot of arms but I'm cautiously optimistic that the Dodger hitters have woken up and should produce in each game. Hopefully the lack of days since the LCS means they stay hot.

Doc/Kersh/Jensen should be good to combine for one chokejob or two but I like LA in 6 tbh.

:tu Glad they were talented enough to overcome the inevitable Roberts/Kenley chokejob. Mookie and Urias were definitely the difference during this run.

Pretty damn happy for Kersh, my favorite LA athlete of all time tbh.

Fuck all that. Enjoy it thoroughly because it counts just as much.

My congrats to you mid, well deserved and I think with the beast Mook you guys will be a threat for a while longer.

Mookie didn't have eye-popping offensive output like Seager, but he really changed the game on the basepaths and defensively.

[midnightpulp]

Congrats my dude. tbh now that they got the monkey off their back, they’re so stacked that this could be a run of 2 or 3 titles.

Wish my Rangers could have closed the deal:depressed

Thanks, man :tu

Yeah, if only Washington subbed out Cruz on defense.

Amazing how many Dodgers fans came out of the woodwork today.. travelling and seeing them everywhere lol

After Braves let Ozuna (1 year older than Mookie) walk because of financial budget, the Dodgers will be favorites to return to World Series next season.
