OT: MLB Thread XLIII

[LeetchisGod]

No mention of Corbin. Postseason ERA North of 5. If he was a Yankee he'd be mercilessly bashed on here.

Luckily the Nats gave him crazy money.

Nats MUST win Game Five. They've been the "charmed" team this postseason. Seems like the charm is wearing off. These past two games, Houston has looked like Houston. If the Nats don't go all-hands and pull out a Game Five win, it's over. And I will be happy.

Houston firing that asshat was good karma for them. They did the right thing but two days late.

Firing the guy didn't change anything about their toxic culture. It's an easy team to root against unless you're holding an Astros to win the series ticket.

 

[ElLeetch]

They did the right thing

I mean, Osuna is still on the roster. They fired the guy who made the comment, but signed the guy who hit a woman.

What's problematic about their culture? Other than Osuna? I'm asking honestly, I really don't know.

Report on Astros front office culture: ‘Toxic. Eats you alive.’

If you subscribe to the athletic read the article the above refers to.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Scherzer not starting due to back and neck spasms. Everything going against the Nats now. Houston is winning in 6.

I don't subscribe, can anyone summarize? I don't doubt in the least bit that they are horrible, I just haven't actually heard anything about it.

Wow... congrats Astros you

We have 2 guys like that. Just saying.

 

[Irishguy42]

Scherzer not able to play tonight. Hmmmmmmmm....

I can't really poo poo that because the Yankees still employ at least two players that are known abusers. You can still root for a team and root against some players on the team. It's why I'm cool with Chapman opting out and making Britton the full time closer.

Eh, they still made it 2 more games than I thought they would.

 

[LeetchisGod]

It's over.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

I want the Astros to win but this ump has been trash all game.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Are you watching this game, Steinbrenners and Cashman? Nothing less than Cole in pinstripes next year is acceptable. Get it done, f***ers!

 

[sbjnyc]

TRADE HIM NOW!!!

 

[nyr2k2]

Well if Washington could pull out Game Six with Strasburg, things would then line up nicely for Scherzer in Game Seven, right? I mean assuming he's up for it?

I know it feels like it's over, but it's not. No one has won at home, yet.

[LeetchisGod]

This is a great start. Now get rid of Thames and the training staff.

 

[East Coast Bias]

This is hilarious

 

[RGY]

FINALLY. FINALLY.

FREE AT LAST.

 

[Cassano]

Nice, wouldn't mind Callaway as his replacement. He did miracles in Cleveland.

 

[darko]

Callaway would be a very good replacement.
