ALDS - Rays @ Astros, Twins @ Yankees

[Spanky99]

This is boring

 

Yeah, nothing like watching an elite pitcher shut down an excellent team in a win or go home game.

When Manfred green lights the 3 batter minimum rule, the Rays are going to go into depression.

Karma says the Rays and their Gamesmanship lose the game.

Why swing at all?

Oh no, what ever will they do being forced to throw out Diego Castillo, Poche, Alvarado, Pagan, Nick Anderson, or any other excellent reliever that they conjure up from thin air against three batters? The Rays are definitely the pitching staff that will be most affected by this change.

[Spanky99]

Nail in the coffin!

[Orgfiller]

Michael Brantley once again dunking on the Indians for not re-signing him to a moderate deal.

The Astros are so good, I hope they crush the Yankees in the ALCS.

They'd be forced to use them against at least 3 batters, and not use 3 pitchers to get 3 outs like they did 10 minutes ago, dumbass.

There it is, mate.

[HealthDream007]

Rays couldn't chip away at the deficit and now the Astros add 2 HR's. 6-1, That should be a wrap.

[glory]

Even the Baseball God's didn't want to see the Rays advance. Astros/Yankees in a 7 game series is what baseball needs. Should be great.

Yankees v Astros........we all new it would come to this. Going to be great.

Yeah, and their pitchers are still good enough for that to not be a huge issue. These Rays relievers routinely went 2 innings in the regular season, this would affect a team that has a bunch of specialists far more. The Rays are exploiting the current rules for their advantage, and they're not the only team that optimizes matchups by making a bunch of pitching changes. Sure, Chaz Roe might become far less valuable, so they'll just replace him with some other gas thrower.

Can we see a replay, thanks? There had to be better than that, right?

[Abomination]

Can we see a replay, thanks?

 

No kidding. Stop yapping and show a closeup!

AJ Pierzynski is such a blowhard. Shut the f*** up man, no one wants to listen to your rambling.

Going to be a great series with the pinstripes.

 

Gerrit Cole is a machine!

[HealthDream007]

Astros-Yanks it is.

[TheHurl]

I was hoping for the year of the upset. Yanks and Astros should be more fun. No way Yanks win though.

If the Yankees weren't on the other side I'd be rooting for Tampa to beat the Astros.

Gerrit Cole avg spin rate increase from 2017 to 2019

 

CB 8.8%

SL 8.5%

Must be that special sauce Astros are serving everyday

[RobinThicc]

Astros vs Yankees will be great to watch.
