AL Wild Card Game: Astros @ Yankees

[havok24]

lmao Archer.

[Inklink]

loool Archer?

 

Good for him, hope he does well past his playing days, maybe in the media.

[Candy Maldonado]

Lord get a haircut Archer FFS!!

 

It looks fine to me.

[Candy Maldonado]

Dan Shulman is so good. We need to bring him back.

[Cookie]

lol this russell commercial

 

He speaks well though and in French too. I bet he has a career on tv after he's done playing. Maybe a future Buck. lol

[Shogun89]

What's with that annoying strike zone box on the screen? Is this on playstation or something?

[Stangstag]

Oh my god there is a woman on the broadcast

[o2cui2i]

krukie: living and dying by every pitch; that's what the post-season is all about

 

isn't this what we've been living the last month?

[JPArenshitia]

postseason baseball is the best

[havok24]

Nasty pitch.

[art_vandelay275]

marquez who is in our series would not have called those high strikes... idiot!

[jaysfan2014]

Holy lack of plate discipline so far by the Astros. Tanaka's making the Astros look awful.

[Jonn]

Altuve should have walked 3 times. Made Springer look like a baby back bitch though.

[Jellz]

Astros weren't even close on some of those swings

[dineke]

what is russell wearing

[o2cui2i]

the strike zone graphic is annoying.

 

who's the chick?

[jaysfan2014]

Based on what, win totals?

 

By run differentials, the AL has one team that is flat out better (Toronto) and one that is flat out worse (Texas).

 

221

111

83

66

18

 

122

101

81

72

70

 

We know from interleague play that the AL is a more competitive league though, so every AL team gets brownie points.

 

I guess you could make an argument about playoff roster strength though, and it would go like this.

 

1. Top of rotation pitching is the most important thing in playoff baseball.

2. The NL seems to have more top of the rotation pitchers on its teams.

3. Therefore the NL has the better playoff teams.

 

NL "Aces" (4+ fWAR)

 

Lynn

Cole

Liriano

Arrieta

Lester

Kershaw

Greinke

deGrom

Syndergaard

Harvey

 

AL "Aces"

 

Price

Keuchel

McHugh

Cueto

Tanaka

Pineda

Hamels

 

10-7 for the NL

 

Not sure Hamels can be considered an ace.. much of his numbers were helped by playing awful AL West teams, especially in September when most teams are playing out the string.

[CJ-Freeway]

Damn. Dunno who to cheer for: a Jays-Yanks ALCS would be pretty sweet.

[Jonn]

the strike zone graphic is annoying.

 

who's the chick?

 

Jessica Mendoza. Softball player. Works for ESPN as an analyst mostly on Baseball tonight but replaced Schilling after his f*** up on twitter.

[Stangstag]

what is russell wearing

 

Fedooooorraaa

[Laika]

Keuchel seems to be rushing a bit, maybe.

[Laika]

Jessica Mendoza. Softball player. Works for ESPN as an analyst mostly on Baseball tonight but replaced Schilling after his f*** up on twitter.

 

Also, she makes the broadcast soooooooooooo much better.

She seems pretty decent.

[Jonn]

Yea I doubt Schilling comes back now.

[HERPDERP]

I don't like how she pauses mid sentence

[Stangstag]

Yankees looking good at the plate early on

[Jonn]

Oh Valbuena Valbuena Valbuena. I will never forget that lol.
