ALDS Opponent: who would you prefer to face?

Who has the weakest pitching staff? Give me that one.

 

Doesn't matter. None of them are beating the Astros.

 

I'll follow the logic of Ben Verlander. Prefer the one you've seen last so there are fewer surprises from their pitchers.

 

I'm afraid of Toronto's offense getting at least one blowout. With the other two teams, while still a tough series, I'm more confident that every game is close or winnable.

 

Yes.

 

We all know that the moon is not made of green cheese, but what if it were made of BBQ spareribs? Would you eat it then?

I know I would, and I'd wash it down with a nice cold Budweiser.

It's a simple question, dammit, would you eat the moon if it was made of ribs?

 

Do not care at all.

 

I’d say Toronto. Seattle has a pitching staff constructed for the playoffs, and Tampa Bay not only has playoff experience, but recent success.

 

Baltimore...

As unlikely as that is, that would be the preference. Of the 3 likely teams, hard not to say TB after what we just did to them.

 

I voted Seattle because we have owned them but after looking at the rosters I think it’s gotta be Toronto; their rotation is the weakest.

 

Toronto's pitching rotation is better than the other 2. They also have a batting lineup that can explode.

 

I never play the I would prefer this team or that team in the playoffs, that always bites you in the arse.

We play who we play.

 

I don't like what Toronto is capable of. They can take your ace out and flip the series in their favor. When they get it going in the batter's box they are a beast.

 

Not Toronto. Rogers Centre will be very difficult to play in during the Playoffs.

 

That partly depends on which Springer they get for the playoffs. The one that has had career lows in several categories for 2022, or the one known as a playoff killer on he goes off in October.

 

I can find a reason to not want to play any of the teams.
I guess I'd prefer the rays?
When does Glasnow come back?

 

I’d prefer a bye.

 

Doesn't matter.

We're gonna clear the table.

 

The one exhausted from a tough WC series.
