Sup Windians huebro.

>Dodgers or Nats HAVE to advance from the NLDS

What a time to be alive

BJs fuck Texas gonna cuck your odor smelly beaner state in the bunghole.

mets WS

who can stop the cubbies?

The fate.

make sure to beat Baltimore first my dude

Is this the Cubs best chance for a series win in recent memory?

its that time of year again, puppers pick is back.

New York Mets are going to win, ya heard it here first.

You notice how I didn't even mention them i.e. forgone conclusion?

Can we call SF-NYM the Orange Bowl?

mets
the mariners in 2004 when they set a new ML record for wins and still lost in the ALCS like the cubs will this year
lol

>october baseball

What did doggo mean by this?

My picks to create the most amount of butthurt

>2004
that was 2001 famalam

leafs confirmed winners

#rallytogether

>Mfw the Cardinals miss out on the playoffs

EHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! PUPPERS!!!!!!

literally all wrong besides NLDS

What's the best storyline?
>Mets avenging last years WS loss
>Cubs winning it all since Ottoman empire
>Dodgers winning and getting Kershaw a ring
>Nationals and WHERES MY RING
>Giants using even year meme magic
>Red Sox retiring with a ring
>Indians using Lebron magic to win one for da land
>Rangers no longer one strike away
>Blue Jays winning for Canadia
>Orioles winning a 'white mans game'

>tfw waiting for jays/orioles

pupper pls

Looks pretty good to me

Will Ichiro play in 2017? With the Marlins?
Will A-Rod play in 2017?
Will Ryan Howard play in 2017?

dodgers winning is the darkest timeline

i'd like to see the jays or cubs win

See

...

only ones i'd accept winning:
mets
jays
orioles
indians
red sox

This was literally worse than Miggy taking strike 3 down the middle

Indians vs Cubs WS is the best possible storyline. The two longest drought teams in the league facing off. Indians win makes 2016 officially the year of the Cleve.

In terms of who I want to see win it:

Cubs > Giants > Nats > Indians > Jays > Mets > Rags > O's > Dodgers > Sox

Realistically, what would happen if the Cubs didn't win the WS?

Indians>Cubs>Mets>Nats>Leafs>Birds>Rangers>Dodgers>Giants

Their window is open for this season, and two more. After that, players sign elsewhere. Injuries appear. The usual.

are they /our guy/?

>mexican team
>"our" guy

Fuck of you dumbass Texan. Choke on our dicks again.

no

Not a big deal, they'll get like 3-4 more real good stabs at it in the next decade.

O's > Jays > Nats > Indians > Cubs > Mets > Tex > Giants > Dodgers > Sox

Cubs > Giants > Nats > Indians > Jays > Mets > Rags > O's > Dodgers > Sox

indians and nats are the only acceptable /ourguy/s

Post yfw meme magic beats the cusb

>the toronto blue jays, battered and weary from their 7-game slugfest with boston, are the only ones left to save baseball from the even year curse as the jints stroll into their fourth WS in four even years after shocking everyone by sweeping the 103-win cubs and the dodgers

cap it

Apologize

>Implying you can stop the meme

>its another murphy hits 7 homeruns in postseason episode

Mets are the weakest team left, followed closely by the Orioles.

>tfw no Jane Lee gf

>tfw mets would be the team Id root for in the playoffs but we have to face them in WC elimination

the jays are literally the worst team offensively in the AL in the last 5+ weeks

I BELIEVE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH FUCKING WILDCARD I CAN'T HANDLE THIS SHIT

...

>TFW Giants start to heat up in the literal last series of the season
I don't know why
But I believe

Doesn't matter, your lineup scares me more than le hit for the fences team (Orioles).

Not to mention you have the better rotation.

what the fuck are you even talking about the jays lineup is the definition of le swing for the fences, only their bottom half of the order is far worse than baltimore

>le bum hip pop up man and jose "gidp" autista scaring anyone

Keep it up man, pretend your team is shit until they win it all.

Classy

prepare for a bunch of crying about why the team is secretly literally the worst in the league

>you may only post ITT if you played meaningful ball on the final day of the season

N-not so fast memeiners

Flat as fuck m8

>he didn't win both of the /mlb/ fantasy leagues

go look up pillar, saunders, smoak, carerras numbers and get back to me

>pretend your team is shit

i dont have to pretend when literal math and stats are doing it for me, what exactly did they achieve by having the best starting rotation in the AL with the most quality starts in baseball? sneaking into the 2nd wildcard?

You're being smug as a fan of the team that didn't make the playoffs?

meme

Prove me wrong.

>shitting on based zeke who single-handedly carried us into the postseason

sad, sad little man

>that slowmo on the policeman's face

If they get past syndergaard I have them going all the way.

The cubs don't match up well with them at all, they would take a huge runny dump all over the dodgers and the nats might be a close series. No team in the AL looks real strong right now and none of them could match the giant's starting pitching, I could easily see the giants sweeping any of them in the series.

I'd be ok with the Mets, Cubs, Sox, or Indians win it this year. I specifically do not want the Giants to win.

why do Jays fans like sucking on big Texan cock so much?

Literally anyone but Boston and San Francisco winning would be great.

>why aren't two bench players and bottom of the order bats not hitting .300 with 30 homers?
>2nd wildcard

Lmao this level of stupidity and blind rage only comes from manlets or landwhales. Which one are you pessimist cuck?

yeah thats kinda my point about baltimore having a better bottom half of the order you fucking moron

First wildcard

and Texas and LA

>0 rings
>one strike away twice
>bat flipped into oblivion
>3 errors in one inning to lose clinching game
>getting swept as the top seed in 2016

>rags

I still prefer Cleveland for the AL but i wouldn't mind them or the O's

you're wrong anything less than a hundred wins and clinching best record in the AL is a dismal failure brought on by the jewish organization, it's not like baseball is volatile or anything, if you have the best numbers in the previous season you're expected to live up to them without fail

Who /hopeful/ here

74 wins for a shit team, not bad at all. The team played fucking amazing the past couple weeks and the MVP singlehandedly won 3 games for us.

you're implying I actually read your comment.

I didn't

The Curse Reversed desu

What are we gonna do tomorrow?

>Analslime would unironically be a 64-win team without Trout

Why don't they just trade him already? His trade value goes down every year and they could net an entire farm system+get rid of Pujols' contract

OOTP world fantasy league?

>[Post a Reply]

you do realize the mod is a huge Rangers fan right? consider this your final warning.

beat me to it

My thoughts exactly minus the "none of [the AL] could match the Giant's starting pitching".
If pretty much any of the big hitting (Toronto, Balitmore, BOSTON) gets to the Giants bullpen it could be a disaster.
But I agree that the Mets are the biggest obstacle prior to the WS.

...

watch mnf and fap to the andria gdp scene

Pujols had a good year though. This team is fine you faggot, we just need better starters. We were almost in the postseason last year but choked a fatty in the play in

Orioles numbers vs lefties (Liriano)

Machado – 144 wRC+
Hardy – 104
Davis – 94
Schoop – 79
Alvarez/Pierce – 71
Wieters – 63
Trumbo – 55
Reimold – 52
Jones – 51

I know you just started watching baseball 2 weeks ago to be contrarian so you don't understand stats but this means the O's are bad against lefties.

in post season elite pitchers have usually trumped elite hitters, jints/cubs/nats all have 2 or more elite pitchers

>he thinks liriano is starting the WC game

i cant believe i defended leafs that post in this general

Post on Cred Forums

The Giants' "bullpen" is not what I'd call elite. All I'm saying is that if any of their starters goes less than seven innings the AL East could turn pretty much any game around.

faggot

>make one hillary post
>drown in (You)s
yes

I expected as much. Fat worthless sack of shit who can't speak english, doesn't know anything about sports and can't hold a real job. Fits the description of a rags fan.

>It will be either Stroman or Liriano starting Tuesday. #BlueJays

I present to you your three-time comeback player of the year (after he shuts out the orilols)

then they will start stroman, they arent going to risk everything on liriano when he walks a tightrope every game

...

Already announced retarded bandwagon pessimistcuck. Shove an ice pick through your dickhole and run a rusty razor blade through your asshole.

do Jays """"fans""""" seriously think they have any shot against Texas?

Romo is still one of the best bullpen pitchers in the country especially against a lot of players who have never seen his slider in person. Law is very solid as well, the rest are pretty average to awful.

>Texass in the playoffs

O's and Jays would sweep that joke of a team

>>>/hoc/

if those mexicans weren't playing baseball they'd be cleaning pools texas is a joke
>muh alooomoooo
meanwhile the mexicans just walk in this time around

Not a Jays fan but either they or Orioles will BTFO Texas. Doesn't matter which.

Rangers are shit and coasted in a bad division!

So if Liriano is starting do you think the jays would just throw in Stroman in if Liriano starts walking too much early?

You realize that statistically >we are a top 8 team in the entire league right? How is that shit? Clearly thats well above average. Zeke has also been super clutch lately, is the only one who can drop a bunt single, and we are in the 1st wildcard. Just fucking end yourself my man.

fuck off samefag cuck

>4.89 FIP
>4.69 ERA
>4 ERA with the jays
why are leafs allowed to post ITT?

>2 different flags

Soon.

what if this happens again?

Yup, and he was perfect through the first 8.1 too.

...

>mfw

Red Sox are neutral evil

>chaotic evil
i'm ok with this

Stroman has been ass lately. Liriano has been good. Orioles are bad against lefties, Liriano is a lefty. Why is this so complicated for you?

I am a bit sad that none of Happ, Estrada or Sanchez can pitch. Sanchez is literally always good, Estrada has been really good lately seems like his back has healed, and Happ is a winning machine. But luckily our 6th rotation guy is just as good as most people's 4th.

Are the Oreos in a similar position with pitchers?

please have sex

So a Giants Dodgers NLCS is the agreed worst timeline right?

>4 era with the Jays
No it's actually under 3

>but muh feelings and made up stats are real cause wow like simply wow
Haha you just got btfo kid. Time to stop posting.

>defending NL champ from NYC
>""""""""Good"""""""""

Get the fuck out of here

you actually think starting liriano in the WC game will work out?

That retard isn't worth responding to. Like most pessimists he knows nothing about baseball and spews bullshit.

no it's the best

>one pennant in the last 14 years

There would be two wild card teams in there if the injuns didn't push them out

Heh quality post kid

Really this, it's my favorite meme of the past few years. I think it would be far more unlikely than even the giants winning every single even year 4 years in a row, which is my 2nd favorite meme.

smug birdo

Name a better Baseball video game intro.

Pro tip: you can't

youtube.com/watch?v=WUVv1OczOi8

my favourite moment was the Mets clinching the Wild Card

that rally from 60-62 was amazing

Only pessimists hate on players.

>idiots wanting kershaw to fail

Why? do you hate Greatness?

thank you based pupper

cuz it's funny

>his team dosent have the eventual cy young winner
>had to take their manager from >us to be relevant
>hasn't won since before Scully started broadcasting

top jej

>le give up monster dongs and make funny pose man

Everyone hates pissboi and we love to laugh at his misery. Don't think anyone outside of the Jints hates multiple entries.

This is rigged, the salami on the Giants paper is more folded so pupper couldn't see it

REV UP THOSE ENTRIES

You calling pupper dumb? Bad karma senpai.

elbow/bone spurs/Tommy John/shoulder
elbow/arm fatigue/strep throat
elbow/shoulder/bone spurs
elbow/Tommy John/forearm soreness/ulnar nerve
knee
shoulder/labrum tear
old/fat

So no good reasons, ok. You're right though it wouldn't be nearly as cathartic if he wasn't considered the best pitcher of his generation.

My biggest nightmare is he pitches is absolute heart out, 0.5 era in the playoffs, and yet the dodgers still come up short because of their offense or other starters choking.

liriano is gonna get shelled desu

youtube.com/watch?v=8DYpPk4SVXg

Somehow I don't have the screenshot of stripling's face after that, it was probably the purest moment of sadness I've ever seen.

When do we get awards?

your mom is going to get shelled desu

specifically in that run i think this was my fave, i didn't watch the asdrubal one live

Jays>Cubs>Mets>Indians>Dodgers>Nationals>Giants>Rangers>Orioles>Red Sox

Go Injuns

I heard I'm up for the coveted shitposter of the year award

and still gonna win the WS

keep being mad

>blow gays over cusb

m8 pls

;_;7

Sorry this is the mlb playoff thread. Your kind isn't welcome.

Ebin flip. Why can't we appreciate these instead of acting like a bunch of cry babby faggots

I'm not mad. I'm laughing.

Probably gonna win my 4th bandwagon shitter award this year

keep laughing to drown out your rage

Guys, this is Kershaw's year of redemption. I just know it. He's going to shut down the Nats and lead to Dodgers over Arrieta. You can screencap this now.

Have fun in the play in game.

>Mets beating BumGod on a cold rainy night in New York

Wouldn't the game be postponed if it's rainy?

they said that last year and le meme donger man killed that

>one outing is more representative than season splits
okay retard

/MLB/ butthurt that the Ottomans are going to win it all

For the Nats to eliminate the mest would be delicious.

So if the >Rags play the Cusb in the World Series? who wins?

We're the most winningest team in playoff history

Cusb but rags won't even make it

You do know only one game is being played right?

And if you don't think he's gonna have a good game in a park like Citi Field you're sadly mistaken. CGSO coming can't wait for the butthurt.

...

i'd go with the Cubs

May as well ask what a squared circle would look like

pissboi made 3 gorillion posts like that before last year's nlds and they were all wrong

>Bumgarner was 4-0 with a 0.62 ERA at Citi Field and had the longest shutout streak by an opposing pitcher in the ballpark's eight-season history before giving up a grand slam in the 4th inning this past August. Bumgarner would go on to win that game after knocking in 2 runs himself during a 5-run 4th inning.

Mest are fucked aren't they?

>Mets are gonna start Syndergaard

why not Gsellman?

Then go dust off your grandpappies rings and stay out of the thread for relevant teams

If this highly unlikely scenario comes to pass, it will cause the entire universe to instantly blink out of existence.

Why the fuck would that even be a thing? You always want to play in your own park.

>AL has 10 teams with a .500 or better record

in hindsight some of these are bretty gud

Because the Dodgers would have to get through the Nats and Giants/Mets and the Red Sox would have to get through the Indians and Jays/Orioles.

Not happy being the 3rd seed but it's way better than facing the winner of the wild card game

Bring it on Tribe

Give me one good reason why the Eries won't be the Dodgers and the Giants. The shitposting would be off the charts.

so you just extrapolate what teams were winning at the time, gud jab

who would want the angels to be good?

They're both NL teams.

because it's obviously going to be jays->rags

>Doyers or Jints are AL
nigga please

The Championship Series?

Yeah but Nats are going to win.

Felt so good after Bumgarner went full autist on Puig. Seeing him skulk off to the locker room after the bullpen blows it was really the cherry on top.

Texas is a better country than Canada tbqh pham.

giants are the most dangerous team in NL as far as im concerned, some teams just know how to turn it on at the right time

Guys the postseason is actually here. Shit is about to get real.

And the faggots on the MLB network continue to pick the Giants.

who /ByeWeek/ here?

Dodgers reporting in

>rags fans have convinced themselves that seeing a dominican guy getting punched is on par in terms of emotional impact with seeing their team getting absolutely blown the fuck out in a single inning in game 5 of the ALDS after taking a 2-0 series lead

top kek i bet watching freese getting injured totally made up for 1 strike away for you guys didnt it

Even year meme ends this year.
The Cubs are he most complete team in the league by a mile.
I admit that their pitching is bolstered by their defense but that's not much a weakness as long as they aren't giving up huge dingers

where my nast brothers at? I feel like we have some solidarity in the fact that the autists in our respective leagues don't consider or respect us at all when talking about postseason winners, it's all muh cusb muh doyers muh red sox muh jints

Giants reporting in

Mets are just not a good team.. cubs pitchers falling apart... man why don't we get to face a good team earlier?

Dodgers: Bye week
Giants: Bye week for someone else

Me. I'm from Anaheim. Rooted them since their 2002 WS when I was 10 years old. Plus I wanna see Mike Trout win a title in Anaheim.

Is this it?
The year a Dodgers-Giants NLCS finally happens?

See

I pray this happens. The amount of shit posting will be catastrophic.

guess as a jays fan i cant complain about having to play a 1 game knock out since the Os and jays tied if it was still 1 wild card they;d be playing a 1 game knock out regardless right?

Yes

Correct.

...

Actually most of the jints and jints fans like Kershaw. When in AT&T, Kersh hangs around the field pre-game and talks to the team and the fans.

The only doyers that get the stink eye are Poo-egg and LULtley.

/spuh/ just hates pissboi (unfortunately at Kershaw's expense).

It's gonna be a hard series without Stras + Ramos

That being said, i'm holding out hope that Scherzer + Roark throw perfect games, and Gio somehow doesn't blow up in Game 3.

For real, other people are gonna have to step up big time

all red sox fans now hate big poopy forever

Nats = Giants > Cubs > Mets > Dodgers is how I would rank total team strength going into the playoffs

>Detoilet

If Trea comes up big, i'll be so happy.
But there are gonna be big question marks for people like Zimmerman, Rendon, and Danny "Strikeout King" Espinosa.

Why doesn't anyone look at the Giants as lovable underdogs? They're the 5 seed

>Rays, Padres, and Reds all finished with records worse than the Braves

Holy shit, how did that happen? I stopped paying attention to all of the mediocre teams, but clearly the Braves' young guys (and Freeman) were making it work better than it was.

Saw that too. Snug in all the right places

the orioles could do it but I don't think the rags will let the blow gays beat them
last year was a meme anyway and the blow gays are weak ass beta pussies this season

Their season record against the o's is 4-3 and Jays is 3-4

They could easily lose to either

>regular season records
Wouldn't read too much into that m8
You sound fucking retarded

No one believes they'll transfer their one run luck to the postseason.

They is our guys

how that right hook taste

Early Vegas line has Mets favored over Giants

Why isn't /mlb/ cheering for the underdog?

Things that will happen once the Cubs win the WS:

1. The United Nations Trusteeship Council will resume operations to administrate the destabilized portions of the middle east. It will informally be known as the Ottoman Trust.
2. The major cable networks will start formally moving their operations completely to over-the-top services.
3. The Dodgers will announce plans to return to Brooklyn. Looking to fill the baseball void, LA offers enough to get the Cardinals to agree to move there. The team is to be renamed the Condors. Saint Louis burns.
4. Elon Musk forms a new deep-sea exploration company that will raise the Titanic.
5. Japanese scientists announce a new breakthrough in cold fusion.
6. The European Union will announce its dissolution.
7. Mickey Mouse will enter the public domain.
8. A non-lawyer will be elected president.
9. Long Island splits off of New York to become a new state. Its capital will be Hauppauge.
10. High-speed suborbital flights begin flying from London to Canberra: Flight time, about 90 minutes.

Do doyerfags get butthurt knowing that Vin was a giants fan whose most iconic nfl call was for a niner win?

Daily reminder that beating the Dodgers is equivalent to winning the WS for Giants fans

>one of the best bench clearers in years
>HURRR JUST FORGET ABOUT IT
Its even worse when all you have are false accusations about hidden tripfags

Do you think the Giants would have still choked away the division if they had the GOAT 8th inning man, Andy Pettitte, in their bullpen?

>blow gays

It's an old and busted meme.

Cardinals would never leave only reason rams left was because nobody gave a fuck about them.

Does anyone else want to see a Rags/Jays WS rematch?

Yeah Giants fans are that pathetic

...

are you referring to toronno or sf?

i saw rod beck in there

They'd leave in a heartbeat for the amount of money LA can and would pay.

The only thing busted is the blowjays pride.

Most people would go for the Rangers because they represent America and not a foreign nation

>meanwhile on Bizarro World

Daily reminder that winning a division is actually, literally equivalent to winning the WS for Dodgers fans since they don't know what winning a WS feels like.

>typo

Truth

WHERE IS PISSBOI I WANNA SEE HIS SHITPOSTS

reminder that Bumshit has NEVER thrown a perfect game, unlike Kershaw

Why did the >rags lose the last series to the Rays despite using their regular guys?

Dude, stop, please. It makes me actually sad

>this shit again

We'll see what gets busted on your lineup next visit to the skydome :^)

Are the Rangers America's team now?

Cubs lost the last series to the Resd starting 2 of their best pitchers.

It happens.

They're not even Texas's team

Too bad that won't be until next season

Rags are reddit's team

America's team is indisputably the Cubbies.

if bumshit is so good why can't he beat the dodgers?

I'm pretty sure he's posted a few "daily reminders" already

nm found him

lel

>America's team is indisputably the Cubbies.

I want bumgarnger to pulverate my glistening asshole

Just a reminder that the Giants bullpen cost Bumgarner 5 (five) wins this season on blown saves and would have put him at 20 wins if he had a closer.

>America's team
What the fuck

I've been to Toronto

I didn't know Canada was a country of chinks and sandniggers. No wonder you stick out and get a culture shock in an all american place like Texas

Check out these division winner predictions from the morons at CBS sports and laugh at them. They are from before the season started:

cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-predictions-for-2016-divisions-postseason-world-series-awards/

Too bad we wont visit it again this year after BJ's lose to O's

if bumshit is so good why isnt his ERA 1.69?

if bumshit is so good why doesn the have two ws rings?

And that doesn't even account for the shit like getting a loss for throwing a 1 hitter against the dodgers or a 2 hitter against the nats, really goes to show that wins aren't a good individual stat

1.69 is a meme ERA

How many qualified pitchers have an ERA of 1.69 this season?

>red sox and giants world series again

wouldnt it be intredasting for the opposite to happen?

>yfw it ends up being a Jay's giants world series

stay obsessed nerd

bumgarner is trash, just another thing I LITERALLY can't even make up

Which pitcher gets exposed this postseason?

protip: kershit has already been exposed, so that would not be a valid answer.

Wew lad you sound a little nervous. Wouldn't you want a rematch to avenge your fucking embarrassing loss from last year?

1 more month /mlb/ and then we all go to /hoc/ amirite

Sox - Cubs WS easily

Porcello

Id be fine with the matchup now that we arent dragging Prince through a river of shit.

every team has flaws this playoffs... no 2001 mariners in this field

what is the cubs flaw?

look at my fucking flag retard

They're the Cubs

"ace" just gave up 8 runs lol

vegasinsider.com/mlb/odds/las-vegas/

Mets are favored over us. Are we going to lose?

pretty sure that's just because of homefield, giants are a bad matchup for us

give me one good reason why the white sox won't win the 2017 world series

Nope, the home team is usually favored. Also mets don't have that many great bats vs. lefties.

red sox: bullpen
indians: injuries
rangers: meme one run luck
blue jays: bullpen
orioles: starting pitching
nationals: dusty baker
dodgers: offense
mets: injuries
giants: bullpen
cubs: cubs

gr8b8m8

>shit hitters
>bumshit who has given up 6 ER+ in 5 last starts

>Are we going to lose
If you're talking about your virginity, then no

This is quite accurate

huh, Arrieta and Hendrick both gave up multiple runs to the Reds. did we watch the same series?

Which is stupid because Bumgarner has way better numbers in Citi Field than AT&T, I'm not sure about Syndergaard's numbers but they can't be as big a gap as Bumgarner's splits.

What I'd like to happen
>Cusb beating da land and winning one for da ottoman empire

What will probably happen
>Red Sox winning against the Mets or Losing against the Gnats

offense should prob be sox

>shit hitters

It's not really that worse than the mets line-up. They could be on or off.

total maybe, otherwise he's done great

>cubs lost the last series to the resd

Why would any reasonable fan want to see a team that has historically fucked us in the playoffs?
>canucks
>seeing reason
We're trying to get a WS and if that means rooting for the O's, who have also fucked us, then root for them I shall.
Personally a Toronto Rags matchup would be interesting but not ideal.

syndergaard has a better road ERA kek
it'll be a low scoring game, we'll prolly lose 1-0 and get struck out 15 times or something

Ah ok they didn't end up losing today. My main point still stands, neither pitcher performed well.

It blows my mind how Cubs fans are so oblivious to the curse. Look at Bartman and the meltdown in 2003. Look at what happened last year when they were literally decimated by one player and his name was MURPHY!! The same name as the goat in the original curse. You Cubs retards are so in denial it will be so glorious when some curse shit happens to make the Cubs choke the playoffs away. Your arrogance will only increase the butthurt. How do you not see this? I can't wait.

except your point was that they lost the series, which they didnt

Bum is so weird, leave it to be vs. Kershaw that he has one his best performances of the year.

Also we know how he does in big games.

>rags will sweep the WS with one-run wins

This.

They'll find a way to screw up. It just doesn't matter.

See 2008. They were the best team that year and they didn't even get out of the first round.

my point was that weird results happen at the end of the season.. keep believing that the cubs aren't gonna collapse bro, that's helped the last 106 years

He definitely plays up to pressure, like the madder and more intense he gets the better his results are. If you ever hear him grunting real loud look the fuck out because he's about to mow some dudes down that inning.

So why did the Padres fire Bochy in 2006?>

>stop being a retard

the cubes have a 26%-19% probability of winning the series depending on the prognostication formula

Superstitious nonsense belongs on /x/

>Superstitious nonsense

That's just common sense to think the Cubs are going to loose. There's over 100 years of back story to prove it.

It's more ludicrous to expect them to win.

he sucked for another 5 years

So what's the argument against the Cubs winning besides "they haven't won the eries in a gorillian years"?

I dont expect them to win, or hope they win but im not gonna put my faith in curses.
That would be retarded

Yeah we know how the baseball postseason is. But the Cubs WILL collapse.

Yes, there are teams that can run them over with offense, and teams like the Dodgers or Giants that could possibly outduel them. But the Cubs will be up 5-6 runs in the 8th on the cusp of making the Eries, and then fall apart as is tradition.

same argument against every team in the postseason

only one can win it all, so you need to get hot and get lucky

this normally isn't true but in the case of the cubs, this literally can be used as a reason why they will choke. the closer they get the more pressure there will be both inward and from the outside about the drought meme

It's not faith, its demonstrable evidence.

>8 wins more than last season

I can fuck with that

If you had to pick one team to win who would you pick? It's probably the cubs for me

you mean who you think will win?

i would say Dodgers, I think it'll all come together desu.

its an easy pick since they have the top starting era in the mlb plus the third scoring offense, but theyre still the cubs

First you need to explain how curses actually exist. Are they acknowledged throughout the scientific community?

what world series matchup would have the absolute lowest ratings?

indians and nationals?

It's true but I can't pick another team with a straight face. They're easily the best team but let's see how they do in the post season.

A 1.69 ERA in the National League is like a 4.69 ERA in the American League

Giants haven't won a game in fenway in over 100 years

>They haven’t beaten the Red Sox at Fenway since Game 7 of the 1912 World Series, and no, they didn’t clinch a championship that day. That’s because Game 2 ended in a tie. So they played a Game 8, which Boston won thanks in part to an error by outfielder Fred Snodgrass in the 10th inning.

>It's a "Giants face the Doyers in the NLCS and spend the whole series spamming left-handed pitching at them" episode

>NLCS between dodgers and giants

holy shit the fucking threads I can already sense the cancer and bantz

>my face when Ty "literally who" Blach throws a perfect game in the NLCS against the Dodgers

Who do I want to win?

Red Sox > Cubs > Walgreens > Mets > Blue Jays > Indians > Dodgers > Rags > Giants

Who do I think will win?

Cubs > Red Sox > Dodgers > Giants > Rags > Walgreens > Indians > Blue Jays > Orioles > Mets

it's pretty accurate :(

m8...

Random gamethreads from the middle of the season always feature 400+ posts of nonstop shitposting. I'm not sure Cred Forums could even contain the shitposting of a Doyers-Giants playoff series

ITT: teams that are impossible to hate

whats not to hate about baltimore?

That logo looks fucking retarded

They should switch back to the real bird logo

>All the BLACHED.com may mays this will spawn

Can't wait

Why do Giants fans think that the Dodgers are their rivals? Our rivals are teams like the Cardinals, Yankees and Red Sox

You are like the Padres to us

I dont care for B-More just on the precipice of liking Boston and them having Shitchado on their team

what :^)

>implying people won't want to see if The Land can get two ships in one year

Lowest would be Rangers and Mets

because we beat you in divisional games?

Fuck you , faggot. That dog gets it backwards everytime

Giants > Nationals > Orioles >Mets > Indians > Rangers > Blue Jays > Cubs > Red Sox > Dodgers

How do you go from this....

I really wonder if they'd use Blach in game 4 instead of Samardzja just because of that.

Hell I wonder if they'll use Blach to start vs any team this post season, the kid didn't have a single hard hit ball that game I think even if it was vs the dodgers.

Let's be fair, they'd probably change their name to the Chicken Hawks.

dodgers have scored like 3 runs in the last 5 games

m8 just keep it brewed inside until next season

do not become a canacuck

our guy Bill Simmons had a good point on his latest podcast - do people outside LA (or that general area) really care about Vin Scully hanging it up?

Like he'll be missed and all, but it seems like a very regional thing, even if he was the best at what he did. He hasn't done national games for eons.

Dodgers got outscored 19-4 in this last Giants/Dodgers series

new

it was the same thing when chase utley broke that spic's leg. it only made national news because it was an LA and/or NY thing.

rest of the country fiends on those two cities for news and media.

New thread

they had a shitty win loss record with the real bird. desu I think the smug bird would be bros with Chief Wahoo

shh it's reverse devil magic
like in the Green mile when he shoots that guy full of the cancer flies

Wrong thread desu

Probably because they just got spammed by lefties. Once teams are in the postseason, they can feel free to change up the order of their rotation to throw all their lefties at the Doyers. They're going to get BTFO by the first team they face with a decent number of lefty starters and there's nothing they can do about it.

HAHA you finally exposed yourself

I've seen this going on all season, now you've drawn attention to it and it's over
