Around Baseball 2022

[G-Snarls]

Ideally home field advantage vs Seattle, of course.

 

Definitely

 

Let the Astros knock Tampa out so we never have to play them this post season

[Solaxys]

Sox take the lead in the bottom of the 8th on a JD 2-run HR; looks like we are clinching.

[Laika]

Really lame way to clinch hahaha

 

we get to cheer for Matt Barnes to close it out in Boston against the Orioles? ahahahahaha grant where are you

[Brownie19]

Definitely

You mean NYY? If we have home field v. Seattle, then Tampa plays Cleveland and the winner of that plays NYY. When we beat Seattle - we play Houston (which kind of sucks balls).

[Brownie19]

Man - Andres Gimenez finishing the year with a higher WAR than Jose Ramirez is f***ing insane.

f***

 

You're right

[Orgfiller]

Even crazier is in a scenario where this would happen you would assume Gimenez would just get most of the value from defense and baserunning, but he's actually quite ahead by wRC+ over JRam.

[JFD]

So Manoah will definitely be starting game 1 now.. phew

Not unless we secure HF advantage before his start against Os, the magic # of that is at 6 (Against Rays & Seattle, both have 70 losses); hopefully they lose tonight.

And it's not like Ramirez had a bad year. About rhe same as 2021.

[Carlos Danger]

At the airport as I type this waiting on a flight to Seattle.

 

f*** FWAR, WAR and anything else. The Carlos Danger analytics Department is on the way and I will give you the ground truth.

 

Be prepared for a comprehensive description of the ground truth in my report. You will be provided with cutting edge feedback using descriptors like:

 

He sucks

He blows

Awesome

He the man!

Your my boy Blue!

DFA that f***er!

Back up the truck

I would trade my mother and Spanky’s mother for that Dude, must have!

Gamer!

Clutch!

Blue Collar player.

 

Stay tuned!

 

About to get in an Uber and head over to the M’s game. If nothing else I will in person scout my Fantasy Team players since I have a lot of M’s and a few Rangers on

my teams

 

Plus drink beer, probably a lot of it.

[Spanky__99]

Cleveland getting some runs anytime soon, would be great.

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

 

What's more important, maybe securing home advantage or having Manoah available to pitch in the WC round? Because it's an either/or decision unless you want to force Manoah to pitch on 3 days rest, assuming we even make the third game of the WC.

 

I don't think Manoah pitches that game in Baltimore no matter what.

I understand the reasoning but John Schneider officially said that Manoah will pitch the game in BAL (162) if home advantage is on the line.

With the off day before the WC Series starts, most likely a BP game for sure, I believe.

[Masterbather]

Rays' pitching going into the postseason is terrifying.

[Masterbather]

So probably at least some of Kikuchi. Basically, if we don't have home advantage wrapped up by that game, it's going to come down to getting help from out of town.

He would have to be a f***ing idiot.

He could always change his mind, right? lol... hopefully we just clinch beforehand.

How is the Rays rotation lining up next for the wild card round? Will they get their best 3 out there? They could also be playing for homefield come next Wednesday.

They got 4 top guys going right now. Doesn't matter who they put out there.

Tampa suxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Daniel Labude]

I understand the reasoning but John Schneider officially said that Manoah will pitch the game in BAL (162) if home advantage is on the line.

 

 

They also said the next day he could be on an abbreviated pitch count (75 ish), so he could still pitch in the WC series

[Solaxys]

Kwan is my hero.

[Spanky__99]

Kwan is my hero.

 

f*** yeah, I jumped out of my seat, lol.

[Solaxys]

lol that flop by Choi; was a good spot to get that dribbler through

[Spanky__99]

The Rays get Rays'd!!! Woohoo!!!

 

I'm guessing the Indians go with Karinchak, then Clase.

 

You can doooo eeeeeiiit!!!

[Masterbather]

That was UGLY, but I'll take it LOL!
