Boy, we should really fire this Walker idiot and replace him with that Calloway guy

 

dont tell Thanos that. He still thinks Walkers tells his pitchers to pitch to contact.

Walker has been lowkey good for so long. We just never had this much talent in the rotation lol

I wouldn't give Walker too much credit. Sanchez and Stroman are prime arms. Failures of Cecil as a starter, Romero eventually, Morrow loom the largest on his resume. Drabek also failed under his watch. He has done well since 2015 onwards but a lot of big arms failed under his watch.

Huh? Walker took over for the 2013 season as the pitching coach, before that he was the BP coach. Cecil and Romero failed in 2012... and was Drabek even on the team in 2013? Morrow's biggest issue was his health not his stuff

Thanks for posting. Could go without the dipshit snark though.

[GD]

No, it really couldn't.

ALDS MVP? Carrera?

ALDS MVP? Carrera?

 

Tulo or Edwin

Is it my imagination or was the game time changed for tomorrow's game

[SweetSmellingChacin]

Fangraphs, World Series Odds

 

Jays 27.8%

Cubs: 27.3%

Indians: 16.2%

Nationals: 13.9%

Dodgers: 9.7%

Giants: 5.0%

[HERPDERP]

lol how are the Cubs not the favorites?

[Pendleton]

lol how are the Cubs not the favorites?

 

Tougher matchup for this upcoming round maybe? I would have thought they'd still be the favourite.

[KingKat]

lol how are the Cubs not the favorites?

 

They haven't even clinched their NLCS birth yet. The fact that they are practically the favourites in spite of that is a testament to how good they are. If and when they beat the Giants, they will be the favourites.

[Stangstag]

Tulo or Edwin

 

Nope, it's clearly JD. Batted like .500 and played excellent D.

Nationals and Dodgers are both tough teams, which is why the odds for the Cubs are not higher.

[flafson]

ALDS MVP? Carrera?

 

According to FanGraphs, it's JD followed by Osuna.

So you don't think eliminating the Giants will improve their odds?

[flafson]

So you don't think eliminating the Giants will improve their odds?

 

It will, right now Cubs have a 79% chance to win the NLDS, that number is calculated when they give them 27.3% to win the world series.

We had the same thing, when we had to play the wild card, our chances were much lower mainly because you have to win 1 more series than anyone else.

Just a heads up if anyone wants to plan ahead..

Those are obstructed view, depending on which seat they are.

lol smells like you just put them up and are hoping for a quick sale.

[HERPDERP]

lol no, I just saw them while browsing and noticed that nothing is that close to cheaper.

 

I actually considered buying it but my stubhub credit card is not the one I have in my wallet right now.

 

Currently scouting prices because I'm feeling good about our chances, and I think it may be a Cubs-Jays showdown.

 

If that's the case I'll just flip tickets on stubhub and then buy one of those sightline seats (only $400)

 

edit: they disappeared

[HERPDERP]

Has anyone ever been to sightlines restaurant? Are all the seats next to the edge? I don't want to buy a seat and have it deep inside the restaurant and I will be forced to watch from a TV

 

Also, is there a way to get into the stadium and down the concourse from inside the restaurant?

Lol imagine if Rogers cheaped out next year. Move over hockey, the Jays are the new cash cow.

I think a lot of us would be extremely happy with that move.

[TBJ12]

Why would you want Rogers to cheap out? If that's what your hoping for I'm pretty sure your in the minority.
