Unsustainable over the long term, but we just need to keep that for the next 8-14 games. I say that, as a team we slashed .288/.371/.432/.803. This compared to our regular season output of .267/.339/.444/.783. We slugged less than our regular season average in this beatdown.\ Mind you, the regular season statline includes the ABs of Robel Garcia, Abraham Toro (who hit .210 at the time of the trade), Myles Straw, and Taylor Jones. This might be sustainable, holy sh*t.
Once we finished dusting these ****ing assholes off.....updated chances of winning the chip - https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-mlb-predictions/
Saw the last out on TV. Check. Read the updated, final box score check. Check. Still not 100% sure. Saw @H-TOWN post. Check. Now, I know for sure. The Astros won the series. I knew that Astros were going to win this series ... right after @H-TOWN last post.
This implies the Dodgers are 3:1 favorites in the WS (75% chance of winning assuming they get there). That is ridiculously high for a sport with some random variation in a 7 game series.
So, there's a twitter account for "White Sox Talk". Why do I feel there ISN'T a twiiter account for "White Sox Back That Sh*t Up"?
Never thought Tampa would get by the Redsox. Houston is going to be a much tougher test with the experience they have. It was nice being compared to the Patriots on the post game show.
Trust me, he will take that off one year and Astros fans will make sure to blow him up. It can be 2, 3, 4 years from now or when he retires. We will comment on his kids / wedding / vacation pics. ORANGE HEARTS
This all they have to hang their hat on now. Season over. Pretty pathetic. I watch the national shows after a big win and I've not heard one head say they saw any intent from Graveman. The entire premise is ridiculous
The Dodgers are ridiculously stacked. The FiveThirtyEight model also is one of the slowest to respond to how the teams are currently playing vs underlying talent based projections. So it will be more extreme on the Dodgers than most other projections and why the Dodgers have such better odds if they make the WS than the Giants despite the Giants winning more games. It’s good at predicting season long results, but probably not one of the better ones right now for just looking at the remaining games.
You know, maybe Ryan Tepera should've waited to say that if Chicago won games 3 and 4. But saying it right after game 3, and seeing what happened in game 4 is funny.
One thing to make note of... the "Death Star" lineup that they're currently trotting out there was not seen all that often in the regular season. And if you did see it, it rarely made an appearance for back-to-back games and definitely not an entire series. Theoretically, Aledmys Diaz could have been left off the first round roster given his zero usage... can somebody check on him?
