Tarik Skubal is a wild card series cheat code. Whoever he pitches against is automatically down to an elimination game for game 2
I'm just looking for Judge to be shitty once again in the playoffs and cost the Yankees to exit in this wildcard round. I'm not asking for much.
Pretty hilarious Chapman gives up 3 straight singles to open the bottom of the 9th to load the bases. 3-1 game. Strikeout, fly ball, strikeout. Game over. That was fun to watch.
Astros are not alone at their inability to drive in runs. The Yankees loaded them up in the bottom of the ninth, trailing by two and left them all on.
In the AL, I would prefer Toronto (springer and Canada) to make the WS. If not them, then Boston (Bregs), then Detroit (Hinch), then Cleveland, then Seattle, then NYY In the NL, I would prefer MIL, then CIN, then SD, then PHI, then Cubs, then LAD. I will die laughing if we get a TOR v MIL World Series. Nobody will watch outside of Canada.
What is wrong with these gaddamn stupid ass managers? Dave Roberts has his most reliable relief pitcher in the 8th inning of a 10-2 game and he just pulled him after getting only 1 out, throwing 22 pitches. Where am I? I pray the next 2 games are close and the Dodger bullpen implodes in both of them with Vesia not available to pitch game 3. Dodgers not getting past the Phillies with this bullpen.
Absolutely nothing illegal with a runner on 2B giving signs to the batter. It's up to the pitcher/catcher to change up their signs or just use the pitchcom gizmo.
This is the matchup I'm hoping for. Would be so fun to see the media react to that, considering we all know they are PRAYING for the dodgers yankees sCrubs or red sox.
Post season Kyle Tucker, lol. Add to that the fact he now has to be considered injury prone, I wouldn't touch him with a long term contract. You're going to be very sorry.
