NLDS GDT: Marlins/Braves... Padres/Dodgers

[Abomination]

Where's Jake McGee at nowadays, guy just disappeared. Dave Roberts sux.

 

He's in one of my DFS lineups. My bad.

[Stangstag]

Holy crap this inning is epic

[Stangstag]

Booooo Hosmer

[Spanky99]

Great game... that catch by Bellinger was a series changer.

[Carlos Danger]

Hosmer swung for a ball, changed the whole AB and probably the game, maybe the series. After the pitcher walks the first two guys he sees, you have to make sure you don't swing for a ball... I was rooting for SD

[Stangstag]

Kenley has been absolute trash this year

yeah...that 1 and 1 pitch was a bad swing. He got two balls after that but he was protecting the plate. The catch by Bellinger was great, but the ball was hit to the deepest part of the park. Bad luck for the Padres tonight..I thought they deserved this one.

I love Machado whining about Graterol's antics. Like after Tatis' absurd display, SD has nothing to complain about.

Literally Machado hit a homer, tossed his bat and was screaming after hitting his homerun off Kershaw. I’m pretty sure Graterol was trying to mimic him/give it right back. And of course Machado can’t take it so he tries to act like a victim.

Machado is the premier douche in baseball.

Must suck to think your team is going into a 5 game series with Lamet, Clevinger, Paddock, Davies as your starters and now you have a rookie starting game 3 with your playoff lives on the line...

Padres got f***ed. If Clevinger needs TJS that could go down as one of the all time damaged goods trades, particularly if any of Naylor/Quantrill/Arias/Cantillo turn into a stud.

 

Seems weird that he would pass the medical parts of the trade.

This is an article from FEB 2020

 

I personally was dubious about the Padres acquisition of Clevinger for the cost, due to his injury history. I would have targeted Plesac if you are going to go in for a penny, go in for a pound. I agree with you.. You have to wonder the risk assessment the Padres did...

From 2017-2019 Clevinger has been worth 10.0 bWAR. That’s a little startling because for a guy who has shown he is an ace level starter that’s a pretty low number. In Clevinger’s case, the phrase that is carrying a lot of weight is “on the field.” Over his three most recent seasons Clevinger appeared in 80 games and averaged 26 appearances a season. He missed significant time in 2019 due to a back injury and it was announced on Friday that he will miss time in 2020 due to a torn left meniscus. It’s hard to be an ace when injuries keep you off the field.

What has Tatis done that was absurd? Be extremely exciting and show some emotion which the fans love? Tatis up to now has shown he can dish it and take it. Machado on the other hand tossed his bat after hitting a solo HR off Kershaw which only made it a 2-run game and then he can't handle the pitcher showing some emotion following an all-time catch? Lol f*** off bud.

[Laika]

Clevinger is about to be 30 and has 120 innings of elite pitching on his resume. Has to be one of the most overrated pitchers around.

 

If you owned him in say a 20 team dynasty league would you trade him for say Gio Urshela?

[Ray]

Sixto Sanchez is a beast.

 

That trade has definitely become lopsided for the Marlins. Phillies failed to make the playoffs both years they had Realmuto, and he might very well leave them in feee agency.

[Stangstag]

Lol that was a pretty brutal outcome for the Barves

Tatis is the best thing to happen to baseball in 2020. Nothing he did was absurd.

 

Machado's hypocrisy on the other hand is definitely funny. I'm fine with Manny, but he needs to take it if he dishes it out.

[Spanky99]

d'Arnaud's been great.

[Stangstag]

Marlins are gonna be packing tonight

Yet, that's on the Phillies FO not getting it done. Realmuto's a star, that trade looks more like a wash. If the Phillies don't re-sign JT, Bryce will be asking for a trade I suspect.

[Spanky99]

Marlins are gonna be packing tonight

 

Yup, it's over.

[G-Snarls]

They played over their heads until this series

I wouldn't necessarily call it lopsided, just a failure everywhere else to capitalize on the asset. Realmuto was exactly who the Phillies thought they were trading for, if not better. He gave them 7.4 fWAR in 192 games which is elite level performance, had they made the playoffs he would have been a large reason why. But my point is trading for 2 years of elite performance - at catcher mind you - for a pitching prospect is something every single team in the Phillies' position (playoff aspirations/high on the win curve) would do 10 times out of 10.

 

Of course, they squandered his performance and now he might leave them, so the Marlins are laughing that they got a high potential starter with monster stuff and Alfaro who might not be garbage and still has several years of control for a guy who was definitely not sticking around.

[Spanky99]

Diego's dead in an inning.

[Spanky99]

6-2 in the 3rd... yikes!

[P2F]

I see you, Garrett Richards

[Spanky99]

They should've had the NLCS start today, they've had plenty of rest, stupid.

[Stangstag]

It was already scheduled before the playoffs started... if either series would’ve gone to a game 5 it would have been played tonight.

 

Can’t just decide to start the NLCS early, then if the Dodgers sweep they’d have like a week off until the World Series.

Why not, their all in the bubble, they just change the dates. Easy peasy... anyhow, I was ranting because of no baseball tonight!
