QUOTE (aryzner @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Just about every Justin Turner AB this series has been really impressive. Man, what a tough out he is. And to think he was a utility guy just a few years ago.

lol Maddon. Why are you saving Wade Davis? I thought Maddon was beyond that kind of management, but I guess not.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 15, 2017 -> 09:52 PM) I know you are playing for one run here, but I still can’t stand giving away outs Not liking what Roberts did at all. Better hope they get that run in this inning, cause they took Jansen out for a third string catcher to pinch hit.

Can we all agree that Puig is entertaining as hell? https://streamable.com/bk3hq Dude just looked at the first pitch like "come at me bro". Second pitch almost hits him and then he hits the next one out.

What is it with people calling the call at home plate an "athletic play"? Darling said it. Maddon said it in the postgame interview. The guys on the postgame show are saying it. Are people really that surprised Kyle Schwarber can charge a ball and make a good throw or something?

Dodgers bullpen looked very good. Their bullpen last year had good numbers, but was nowhere near as talented. Morrow's got his velocity back and is absolutely dominant.

lmao @ Puig saying he hit a home run before in the postseason.

No Seager really hurts the Dodgers.

Incredible ABs by Frazier and Gardner.

Bears defense played their ass off.

KC defense continues to help/screw fantasy owners. Whoever had Watson/Hopkins at the end of that game got a lot of free and meaningless points.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 10:50 PM) Ok, who on here won/lost because of that garbage time KC TD just now? Was down 7.98 before the fumble. Won by .02.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Can someone pass on to Jennifer Lawrence that trying to sound dumber than Rush Limbaugh shouldn't be a thing? Blaming the hurricanes on climate change and saying Irma isn't a big deal are two very different things. Especially when Irma will level the entire state of Florida.

I'm not sure how the Angels are even in the playoff race. Besides Trout and Simmons, their entire team is pretty bad. Upton might get them into the Wild Card game, but I don't see how they'll get the quality pitching to win in the playoffs.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) Forgot Greg's all time favorite waiver acquisition, Alex Rios. He's the reason we have Leury Garcia though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) How fast was that pitch? 98.7. Yoan can hit a fastball.

Moncada looking great the past few games.

Say what you want about Darvish, but if he's on, he's dominant. That's what you need in the playoffs. My issue with LA's always been their lack of pitching depth behind Kershaw in the playoffs. We saw how useless their pitchers were after Kershaw and Hill against the Cubs last year. If Darvish stays healthy, they should be set in the rotation. I still think their bullpen is very iffy outside of Kenley though.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 06:45 AM) Why is it when I look at Davidson's numbers I think of him as a younger Trumbo Lite? Low BA, high K's and loads of power. I say let Davidson play 3B as much as possible. Some team might see value in a young cost controlled 3B with power and some years of control left. It's possible Davidson could bring back a decent haul a year from now. Hell, it's even possible Davidson mashes enough to be the future DH/1B. Nice thing is that his future doesn't have to be decided just yet. Davidson is the best 3B option until Burger is ready so let him play 3r and see what happens. The thing about Davidson is that he doesn't walk. He used to in the minors, I'm not exactly sure what happened. If he can bring his walk numbers up, the lack of contact wouldn't be as big of an issue. His power is there, but he needs to be able to at least get on base at a .300+ clip to be considered valuable.

Those last 2 pitches were strikes. Not sure what Contreras is arguing about.

Moancada looked lost up there vs. the breaking stuff.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) Wow. I was supposed to go with my family to see LP in concert in August. Same here man. This is so sad. LP is still one of my favorite bands.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 12:00 AM) People really overrated DRob's value. Remember the package be almost went for during the offseason? He's had a good year, but not great. Robertson's best used as a setup man IMO. He's way too hittable when he isn't locked in.

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 11:50 PM) Rutherford #6 in Sox system, Clarkin #18 per MLB.com Crazy that we have 6 top 30 prospects.

I don't quite understand this trade from the Yankees' perspective. Is their bullpen that bad? They already have Betances and Chapman. How bad can it really get? If they just needed MR help, they didn't need to give up their #3 prospect to do it. Is Frazier that big of an upgrade over what they have?
