Im struggling to pick a team to bandwagon in the playoffs this year.

Guess I'll ride along with the Harperfags this postseason. Go Nats!

Mets match up pretty evenly desu, it's really just the giants that are scary if cueto and moore get two starts and bumgarner is available for relief in game 5 on short rest

>Leave Syndermeme to me

What did he mean by this?

both teams are extremely dangerous as long they can steal a game in wrigley
if cusb win games 1 and 2 it's ogre for replacemets or even years
if they drop one then the underdog will be smelling blood with their ace in game 3 at home
it's fairly simple

whose idea was it to put exploding pressure cookers at the finish line in fucking bombston

I dont think the Mets could win aginst Chicago this time. Syndershit will be burned for WCG, then behind him they have Fatolo and a few rooks. The Jints could beat them though, with Cueto and Shark they'll do OK, plus when Bumshit comes back around.

Not an Indians fan but Jacobs Field is pretty BASED. It's the best combo of old school and modern baseball.

The only thing wrong with it is the fact it's in Cleveland.

They did a lot of renovations last off season, including new HD screens and new bullpen.

"Only pitchers I have heard of can do well in the postseason"

>the fact that it's in Cleveland
The area around the ballpark is fine and there's plenty of places to stay, park, eat. And on the whole downtown is likely a lot different since your last visit.

Right, which is why those pics are obviously not from this season.

>two kids with 44.2 IP and 64 IP are gonna tear up the best offense in the National League in the playoffs

You act like this would be the first time it's ever happened. Unlikely but completely possible.

No postseason baseball. Someone explain this shit?

>trusting josh donaldson

He's pitched well lately though. zero run support is what's hurt him.

THERE IT IS THAT'S THE POST I WANTED TO SEE DAMN THAT'S IT EXACTLY

So in the NLDS with the cubs the giants/mets would have to use their #2 starter for game 1, #3 for game 2, #1 for game 3, #4 for game 4 and #2 for game 5?

Or would their #2 be able to pitch game 4 and their #3 pitch game 5? And it's impossible for bumgargner/syndergaard to pitch game 5 since it's like 3 days rest?

>not trusting jash

are bombston posters the worst in em el bee?

thor and bumgarner would both pitch in relief if necessary in game 5, zero doubt

>roleplaying on /mlb/ to trigger one of the smallest fanbases in the general

I really hope this faggot isn't a Tigers fan after they got so completely BTFO

the thing is that thor might not even have to since the mets have an actual bullpen, but the giants would be forced to use bum if the starter is shit

It's a >rags fag, he's been doing this on and off all season after the >rags tanked hard and the Indians overtook them briefly

> Memechado in the playoffs

This should be fun.

the wildcard game isn't really playoffs in my professional opinion

Who thinks Cleveland will win WC on the satanic sacrifice hat trick?

It's in shambles every year and it will continue to be irrelevant as long as Loria is allowed to fuck it up after every season.

Daily reminder that Cubs shouldn't of even gone to the WS the last time they won in 1908

>Merkle's Boner refers to the notorious baserunning mistake committed by rookie Fred Merkle of the New York Giants in a game against the Chicago Cubs in 1908. Merkle's failure to advance to second base on what should have been a game-winning hit led instead to a forceout at second and a tied game. The Cubs later won the makeup game, which proved decisive as they beat the Giants by one game to win the National League pennant in 1908. It has been described as "the most controversial game in baseball history."[1]

Yes. They try to prevent the Giants from reaching the playoffs.

literally the most unlikely NLCS matchup possible

Which is more unlikely the cusb losing to the giants or the dodgers making it to the nlcs?

doyers
it's around this time every season people forget how badly they choke in the postseason
maeda is complete garbage

dodger NLCS with our meme manager and cuck offense

fucking cheap ass kike FO signed Maeta instead of Grenkie or Cueto

I still don't understand why we let greinke go and thought kazmir was a suitable replacement. I don't think they expected maeda to be anything more than a 3/4 guy with ryu did they? Either way it's going to fuck us over in the nats series.

the jewish front office only cares about the team being good enough to make the playoffs every year they dont care about winning rings.

To be fair greinke wasn't all that good this year. He's not even worth half of what he signed for. They dodged a bullet.

The Dodgers aren't notorious playoff choke artists like the Cubs are

I've gotta be honest
The Walgreens Trashinals just don't seem to be as big of a choker franchise as the doyers
You know, maybe it's just a gut feeling, but there is just something that seems off about that doyer club. They resort to dirty tactics in order to win, they are cocky beyond their abilities, and also, there's something quite comfy about that doyer stadium mound. You don't see opposing pitchers go in there, with the warm weather and the fans not right on top of them, and struggle. Not much of a home field advantage.

Obviously I don't like either team but if I'm being quite honest here I'm gonna have to say the Nationals are the team that finds a way to avoid losing three straight division series. Two words: Trea Turner. He's going to make Bruce Herpes expendable in two years.

Probably a sweep because kershit will get BTFO again 2014 style.

just my two cents

mets desu

Why aren't the Giants starting Cueto? He went 19-9 (as opposed to Bumgarner's crappy 14-9) and has better non-ERA stats

you could have picked two better girls desu

...

So no argument? Yeah you should probably give up on baseball before you get too confused watching a game. It's clearly too complicated for you.

this is the second one you should have picked

Naa, this year is different for doyers. They actually had to play as a team when kershit went down. Plus no more pussy mattingly in the dugout and they have based alpha male roberts who are willing to fight for him and for the team.

I think doyers will actually make alot of noise this time around.

>They resort to dirty tactics in order to win

man shut the fuck up. Utley's slide was old school and you faggots traded away your martyr spic anyway.

get fucked

Literally see this speech before every post season and they just fizzle out like always.

y-yeah i agree

I know this is bait but bumgarner not only gives great performances in big games but citi field is probably his favorite place to pitch.

>Naa, this year is different for doyers.

I've heard this every year and it's always the same shit.
They have not beaten a good team in the playoffs since the 1988 World Series. THAT was a good doyer team with actual heart.

Don't forget that I warned you.
Walgreens in three fagboi

Just for the record, im a mets fan. But i have been following dodgers this year and its a little different.

the doyers get built up by the media more than any team in the national league annually

How does it feel to know that either the Dodgers or Nationals are going to make the NLCS?

I'm having a hard time deciding who I want to lose the NL WC more. Trying to decide between the Giants and the Mets is like trying to decide who you want to win in a Charles Manson/Adolph Hitler slap fight. You just hope they keep hitting each other until they're both dead.

mets and nationals are barely rivals
not even close to mets braves in the 90s

Exactly my thoughts, user.

They won't. Some horrible disaster will occur, killing tens of thousands of fans in the stadium during game 1. The series will be cancelled.

Which World Series did the mets win in the last ten years? Refresh me.

If the Dodgers win the eries and Kershaw wins 1 game in each series it's game-over for /mlb/. There will be nothing to meme about.

I meant in the first 10 years that they were a franchise. First year was 62, first ring won in 69.

Aren't Nats fans closet Orioles fans

Jints, Doyers, or Bombston.

I think people will accept the Cubs winning, until Cubs fans shitposting gets beyond the pale.

If the >rags won the entire playoffs would just get written off but tiki would become nearly unbearable. Only nearly since he's by himself.

Indians, Mets, and Nats are the most feel good candidates, though select persons would be livid about any of them.

The Nats were a shambles of a franchise when the Lerners bought them from the league. They were in worse shape than even an expansion franchise. They had no farm at all, Jim Bowden decimated what little talent they had in the farm system and signed terrible free agents. It took them 5 years after that to get to any semblance of normalcy. They have a great GM and ownership. They'll be relevant for years to come.

i'd hate to see the no playoff wins meme end for the nats.
it's probably the giants, cubes, and jays in that order for me

Well either the Dodgers or Nationals WILL win at least 1 playoff series

>Manny gets WS MVP

Congrats on your new third baseman Yankees

Aren't the Mets basically the Giants and Dodgers orphaned child?

If we get beat by the jints I'm just gonna assume they will win the pennant

No pressure m8

let's have a good one though

Yep. Orange from the Giants, blue from the Dodgers. Even use the old New York Giants logo and Citi Field is modeled after Ebbets Field

faggot orange.
Dodger blue.
Yankee pinstripes.

They literal costume of a cuckboy

the Giants and Dodgers are the sons that spurned their family in order to sate their greed (basically the prodigal son minus the return)
the Mets are the ideal son that makes their family proud

I hole we win obviously but if you guys beat us I will be rooting for you guys to take it all the way.

>cubs.

I know they haven't won since 1908 but holy shit their last penant was in 1945? Lol damn

I actually think Machado would be the last of the big 2018 FA's that the Yankees would sign. They've got too much depth in the infield, not even including the Didi/Castro duo currently. There would have to be a lot of busts for that to happen

He'll goto the dodgers. The dodgers will trade for longoria this off season and then sign machado.

Why do they simply refuse to score runs?

what was his era on the year

>being a sinkerballer

4.3

He had a miserable may-july. I think his era was over 7 during that time.

4.3 on the year but hes been let down by the defense and unlucky with BABIP(.308), he has a 3.4 xFIP and really increased his K rate in the second half of the season

ftfy

He's been decent in September. I think his era was 3.4 despite being 0-5. I mean he's not my first choice but he's not the worst. If the Jay's weren't retarded Sanchez could have pitched this game.

what do you expect when they used the shit out of him like every game

>using the eye test

Fancy nerd faggot, you've got to go with your gut like a real man. Looks can be deceiving

if the jays bullpen didnt lose 32 games by themselves alone the jays could have maybe won the division and not had to fuck around with a WC game

this Girardi overuses him and he's always bad in September

fuck that's a great post

They won 89 in the hardest division. I get their bullpen has been shit but this team isn't as bad as you think.

I agree.

But he's always been shit in September.

the giants dumpster fire of a bullpen only lost 24 games

the only pens who lost more games than the jays are the reds and the twins

doesnt help that the offense has scored almost 200 fewer runs than last year

>syndergaarde vs madbum

cant wait

imagine if the blow gays had thor

Why is oriole bird so smug if the oriolels are the 5th seed
what does he know that we don't

delet this

>posting ERA's above 1.88 more than once
why do pitchers do this?

>another good pitcher that wont get run support that will get the loss unless he goes 8 innings

wow its fucking nothing

>hitting less than 2 home runs in a game
why do pitchers do this

Kill yourself

LEAVE OCTOBER TO ME

what qualified pitcher has an ERA below 1.88?

I love all of this shitposting

>did a playoffs in the show
>orioles go 12-0 and win WS

what did The Show mean by this?

>having syndergaarde would have changed gibbys complete inability to manage a bullpen or the jays shit offense

>strap over the hat

yes

None.

>tfw with the Os bullpen fresh and rested the jays only have 5 innings to score enough runs to not only win the game but compensate for the inevitable jays bullpen meltdown

I think Kershaw is going to implement that new meme arm-slot to put niggas away sooner. People can bearly touch his 91-94 much less a 97

>new meme arm-slot

what exactly are you talking about?

>[Animal] lands on Jones hat as we are down in the WC game
>Suddenly broken bat bloops, grounders bouncing off 2nd, slap hits everywhere
>No DINGERS
>Only drip drip drip

We have pilfered the Royals playbook clearly.
Who was the NL finalist?

>O'Day v Bautista in a WC setting

that rivalry is cold now, oday just pitches around him and jose is more than willing to take the walk

senpai doesnt even throw at his head anymore

He's throwing sorta side arm now. I noticed it in the last game vs the Giants.

He's probably trying to copy Bumgarner's arm slot desu LMAO

He lowers his arm slot about 6 inches and gains 2-4mph on the fastball (topped out at 97). Its similar to what rich Hill and urias do, except hill uses it for deception on both the curve and fb, urias only on the fastball, gets up to 98mph (urias usually sits at 90-94). Chris Sale does this, it's why he throws so hard given his frame. Chris Sale gained 8mph on the fb after a year of changing arm slots. Really interesting stuff. Look at Clayton's last start against SF he K's Belt on a 97 when he'd only been working at 94.

Doesn't help O'Day has been hurt most of the season.
Still some embers. Bautista still does stuff like double swing the bat over the zone after drawing the walk, then dash dance off first to fuck with him.
But if it comes up in the right spot in the game, ie bases loaded with 2 down, tell me it wouldn't be tense af to see O'Day actually try to go after him.

>No outs bottom of the 9th
>One run lead
>Game 7 of the World Series
>You can only choose between Betances or Kimbrel to close out the game

Pick your poison

whoever wins mets/giants will win the eries to be honest

It's time.

>when you have at the very least the starting pitching that can knock off the cubs but might lose WC to syndergarrd

c-can you just roll over p-please

Bumshit can't even touch 94. He averages less than 92 mph in 2016. Kershaw at 20 topped out at 99 and to this day can touch 97.

Kimbrel
The one run lead seems to be the only time he's lights out. Anything else (especially a tie game) and he's more prone to shittery.

dodgers

i think he'd still be worth the money if he stayed in LA... obviously not as good as last year but a 4-5 win a year guy. the thing about arizona is the desert air apparently has a neutering effect on sliders which is his bread and butter.

recency bias and memes aside they are both actually fine closers, maybe kimbrel because hes had more postseason experience

>october baseball
>1 month left

>4 month hiatus

tfw october marks the month where i have to find a job because im a worthless faggot for the remainder of the offseason

fuck

Wait wait wait...

Hasn't he always had 97 in the pocket? I vaguely remember him pulling it out every now and then since he started pitching.

...

this is true senpai. If the Giants lose (i hope they don't) they will pass on the meme magic baton to the mets

Obviously you beat TOR and TEX, then you beat CLE in the ALCS and Walgreens for the WS, winning Game 4 15-2

just watched it.
it was 95 but seems to be very effective

fuck off satan

Kimbrel, because im biased and like Boston but also because he's had more success and dosent usually give up many hits, he just walks the bases loaded

Did Kershaw say he was changing his mechanics or are doyer fans jsut being their casual selves again?

I honestly can't imagine Kershaw changing his mechanics when his entire deception is based off the fact that everything, e-v-e-r-y thing looks the same upon release

he can hit 97 but sticks around 92-94 to not burn out, also the arm slot is more for deception than adding heat to his fastball

who /rooting against cubs and red sox/ here?

dont give a fuck who wins the eries as long as they gay ball clubs dont win it

hes not changing anything, he altered his armslot in 2 low leverage situations to test it out and potentially use it as a get out of trouble pitch

fangraphs did a whole thing about it
fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/clayton-kershaw-experimented-on-the-rockies/

Obviously, but how is he changing an arm slot for deception? Has he stated this? Having a different arm slot for a single pitch could lead to tipping the pitch..

pretty much, as long as the red sox or >rags dont win im fine, even if we lose the WC game il be rooting for the Os/nats/indians to win it all

the thing is, if you can beat the cusb, I don't think your team has a ceiling or a tougher test after that
if giants or mets pull that off they will be riding a crazy confidence wave to the eries win

because hitters are used to the default arm slot and a 95 mph fastball coming from a different angle fucks with their timing and perception plus even if he doesnt get strikes with it, it adds another thing they gotta worry about on top of the curve and slider and just default great fastball

very neat read. thanks pissboi

he experimented (read: threw a handful of pitches) with a lower arm slot against the rockies and giants his last two starts. got an extra mph or two on the 4 seam. im not sure if this will end up becoming an extra facet of his game - the shift in arm slot could very well end up placing stress on parts of his arm that are not conditioned to it. but i bet he'll pull it out his bag of tricks at least a couple times this postseason because it's the deception+velo increase is absolutely lethal

>this meme again

frig off

So he's going to be mixing it in with his already established mechanics? That makes more sense then doing it for velocity alone.

Mike Trout
>9.4 fWAR
>10.6 bWAR

Mookie Betts
>7.7 fWAR
>9.6 bWAR

Calling it now:
Because the Indians are relevant this year, SJWs are going to come crawling out of the woodwork and make a stink about Wahoo during the ALDS.

If the Jints make it to the World Series, who is the AL team that can beat them?

Nice link btw, awesome stuff. Would be better if he wasn't in LA though lel

>Named after a fish

>Named after Pete Rose

Hmmm

>Named after Pete Rose

top lel

probably not since they changed their logo

you cheeky cunt

Why does fangraphs suck Kershaw's dick? He's not that much better this season than other elite starters. If he pitched more innings his numbers would have obviously inflated like everyone else.

If the Nats don't win the NLDS this time I will actually sob

Probably not but i'll still be super sad

...

Red Sox have good instinctual hitters, probably because they're all fucking Dominican or something.

I remember a interview with Hanley that he doesn't need to watch film, all he has to do is have someone describe the pitches a SP has, and what the pitch generally does and he'll feel out the rest. Those guys are sick at the plate.

Sandoval was similar, he had no issues with just following the pitch and digging something out of the dirt if he had to. A lot of latin players are good at that shit. Vlad Guerrero was scary with it, Miggy, Hanley in his prime etc etc

Granted, you can generate a lot of swing and misses, but in the playoffs when everyone is playing a lil more disciplined and not as lazy as in the reg season....these types can be fucking scarey. Pablo, for all that there is to laugh at...when he locked in during the post season he could slap some ass, slap some serious ass. Slappin ass foul pole to foul pole.

this is bait and extremely poorly worded bait at that

well it is interesting though, hes the best pitcher in the game right now but hes still fiddling with stuff like working on a changeup or testing out new arm slots or timing

they always do something like this anytime a big name does something new or weird, theyve written like 6 articles over the past 2 or 3 years just on trout and high fastballs

trip on

Elite

The piss connoisseur holds that crown m8

sanchize really needs to master his changeup so he can get leftys out reliably and go deeper into games

Both the Nats and the Dodgers are prone to choking, so I'm curious to see who spills less spaghetti during this series

I thought they still have it as a patch on their unis desu

The future is bright for him

For some reason, I don't think Hill is as dominant as he's been showing. I don't know why, watch throwing nothing but 0-hitters after I said this, but for some reason I think he might catch some L's

What the fuck happened to Kazmir though? Like literally? Did he die? I havent been paying attention that much...

Giants

Like most Dodgers, he's injured

...

Here's hoping Trea FUCKING TURNER can help the nats not fucking choke

yeah stinkys a dead man

Leafs better win tomorrow so we get a rematch

Ya'll are gonna laugh but I really want freidman to trade for Shelby Miller. That dude is legit. I'm sorry he had to go through all that this season and I'm sorry that people disrespected him and his but I'm glad his stock has plummeted just so Friedman can finnese whatever AZ retard takes office.

why would i laugh, shelby is a quality pitcher, the problem was the Dbacks tried to turn him into a strikeout machine by altering his mechanics, getting him to throw his 4 seam more over his sinker and just generally change him as a pitcher, he was great with the braves and cards where he could rely on his sinker

Official top 10 please consider steroids power rankings

I Just.. I don't even want to win the fucking WS...I just want a PENNANT..I just want to win the NLCS and get buzz back into this town, is that too much to ask?

>Steve Clevenger had a better year than Caleb Joseph

I agree. People here seem to think that this was the worst trade of all time. That is extremely disrespectful. AZ overpaid but Shelby has extreme talent. His k/9 had always been low with us strange considering he gets it up to 98 and works at 96 for 100 pitches. I think that's why they tried making him into Max Scherzer. They fucked up on that Max trade years ago and now they're trying to clone a new Max. It's really funny because they both do have *similar* mechanics, bodies, and velocities.

People are dumb as shit and it makes me mad when they disrespect talent because Shelby is a top 5-10 RHP in the NL.

I been having a crush on this nigga for YEARS. I'm not a faggot tho.

It's a bye week bro. Playoffs don't start until NLCS game 1. Take a breath. We're gonna sweep.

It's gonna be real sad to see Bautista and Encarnacion go 0 for 9 combined in their final game as Jays. No fucking way the team survives the O's bullpen + a quality start.

I wouldn't find that sad at all

stroman has actually been good and one of the best pitchers in the second half of the season, the problem is hes gotten no run support

he literally has 1 win since august 1st despite pitching to a 3.2 ERA in that span including 4 games where he went 6 innings with 1 or fewer runs given up

How you want your WC senpai?
