The best starting rotations have beaten the lesser ones from Cubs and Yankees to get here, and these are interesting matchups

 

How would you favour:

 

1. Kershaw vs Keuchel

2. Hill vs Verlander

3. Darvish vs Peacock or McCullers (Astros haven't announced yet)

I just have a feeling that Kershaw is gonna get lit up against that Astros offense.

He's given up 6 home runs this post season although he's still managed to win all of his starts despite not pitching that well. He could pitch a gem or get knocked around a bit for sure.

Oh, it's just how I feel about reading SSS stats when we already have a fully completed season to evaluate players lol.

Has anyone been to a world series game?

 

I was looking into it this year but with the teams playing, you're looking at 1500 once you factor in flight and hotel ):

Once, but I knew the family of a player, stayed in the suite.

Just the Jays.

[G-Snarls]

Didn't realize just how much $$ the Dodgers had invested in pitching depth this year

 

Everyone knows how well Morrow worked out but it was helped from taking flyers on multiple guys.

 

They had Justin Masterson and Jair Jurrjens pitching in AAA almost all year and neither saw the light of day in the majors. Didn't realise that until I heard it today.

Really looking forward to this WS. 2 teams who really deserve to be there. Kenley Jansen is an unhittable beast. I remember watching him as a C in the WBC. He has come a long way lol.

 

Not a Dodger fan but hard not to like Turner. Puig is a one man show all by himself...good TV. Altuve same...but for different reasons. The # of balls that guys squares up in isn't of this world.

 

Go Stros'

Speaking of Turner and Puig here is a pic of them both in the line up at the TOR Ripley's Aquarium after a game 2016. Puig is checking out his many Tinder offerings on his phone(couldn't help but notice...its the size of an ipad). My son is holding up a ball they signed but I cut off the shot lol. It was fun running into them like that...they were really nice about it.
