    I think we played there before? Should be interesting to see if the loser la fans follow the players around town.

    It is a positive, it will give their starting pitchers proper rest. Baker is going to need to ride the starters a little longer of the relievers are going to need to surprise..... still I wouldn't be shocked to see him go to a starter in the middle of a game if he thinks it gets us the win. Too bad Verlander isn't healthy because Urquidy and Javier in the pen would crush.

    agree with all of this. Do you like the Greinke Game 1 start? Or do managers determine off matchups etc.

    LMC is going game 1. I think the stros knew that going in if they advanced today. If they played tomorrow, LMC would be ready for game 2

    It's crazy all these games going on at once seemingly. My mind is blown. It's fun!

    And, we get to play in LA where they hate us the most. That should be interesting for the team.

    Holy ****, are you guys watching MLB Network? The analysts literally are in anguish about the result of this game. It was entirely what the Twins did wrong.

    I start Grienke is game one...... and actually consider going to a starter in the middle again if I have to..... I would have a bullpen game in the series if I have to, but I am not letting the shitty part of the pen ruin multiple games in this series..... I am up 2-1 or 3-1 after 5, I am going to another starter to try to lock it down.....

    2020 is the Empire Strikes back. It is all about the Orange Vader telling the rest of the MLB community he's their Daddy, cutting off the arms of their whining asses, and then throwing them down a hole.

    There are no off days in the next round right? I think you go Greinke game 1.

    He would never do it.... but it would be awesome if when they interviewed Correa if he said: "Yeah man, as soon as I felt that buzz on my chest I knew it was a dead red fastball and I just crushed it man. I really have to give a lot of credit to Alex Cintron for getting the information to me quick enough."
