OT: MLB Thread XLII: OCTOBER

[darko]

Andujar is a guy with no position. Has a knack for getting the barrel on the ball but is allergic to walks.

 

[Machinehead]

the Andujar injury was the best thing that could've happened to the team.

We'd still have errors galore and horrible range at 3B if he's healthy. Urshella probably on another team.

And Urshella replaced what he brought at the plate. I wanted to keep Andujar because I liked his contact but we went out and got two other .300 hitters who can field.

They're already not being fooled by JV, despite going down 1-3.

Two solid contacts.

Good stuff.

 

[Cassano]

Do u want Beltran as manager though

 

[Irishguy42]

Oh, we're going with this version of Paxton tonight? Okay.

 

[Cassano]

Paxton pls

 

[NCRanger]

An absolute joke that this is on FS1 tonight. An absolute joke.

 

[Irishguy42]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd breathe, we're out of the first.

*realizes it's playoffs*

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd back to holding our breath.

 

[Irishguy42]

Ball hit the girder on a foul? Are we sure this isn't the Trop and we aren't playing the Rays?

 

[Machinehead]

"He prefers runners on"

Smoltz with the hard hitting analysis.

Smoltz with the hard hitting analysis.

Smoltz is awful

 

[Cassano]

We are hitting him better than the 3 games in 2017.

 

[Cassano]

"He prefers runners on"

Smoltz with the hard hitting analysis.

remember when Judge made that double play yesterday and he was ogling over Mookie Betts

 

[Irishguy42]

Still getting contact and driving up the pitch count.

You hate to see it.

 

[Machinehead]

remember when Judge made that double play yesterday and he was ogling over Mookie Betts

Lol imagine preferring the inferior defender

 

[Irishguy42]

That was only a single? lol

 

[Machinehead]

I feel like Verlander dominates us in particular because we get too wrapped up in his pitch count.

The guy's a thoroughbred. He'll throw 130 and not break a sweat.

 

[Cassano]

Lol, that's a strike

 

[Irishguy42]

Lol, that's a strike

After the called ball to Altuve(?) yesterday in the middle of the box, I don't know anymore.

 

[NCRanger]

Smoltz is awful

And he’s still a million times better than Tim McCarver.

 

[Irishguy42]

How about uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....throwing a strike?

 

[LeetchisGod]

Paxton falling behind too many hitters.

 

[Raspewtin]

yikes

 

[Cassano]

These guys celebrating like they won the series
