2023 MLB Postseason Thread

[Laika]

Semantics. Marte ranked 14th in the NL in OPS. Carroll 9, Walker 16. There’s 15 teams. What’s a star bat, idk

 

That definitely explains why Alek Thomas and Gabe Moreno have 7 playoff home runs!

The better team might lose to the worse team

The shittier hitter may hit better than the star hitter

 

These things are noise. All the sudden you want to listen to noise

[Spanky__99]

If you guys think the Diamondbacks are NLCS material then let's make a bet on if they make it that far next year. I'll even give you odds. 3 to 1, 5 to 1, you name it.

 

This year is a fluke and you all know it.

 

Hahaha... Term drops his balls and all I hear are *crickets* Love it.

Jaysblue only takes bets that he’s heavily favored to win. Connor is spineless so he won’t bet on any of the ******** he spews

These classical lawyer types aren’t innovative. Theyre brainy, but they’re wired for memory retention and analyzing existing data. Once something goes outside of known case law, there’s a lot of nervousness and fear. They prefer known order. It’s not a bad thing though, as being practical is the much easier path to financial success. Many innovative people have great ideas and little follow through. I can respect these fine gentleman’s superiority over me in this regard, and I mean them no disrespect. Do you think I can remember what Jacobs v Thomas circa 1937 refers to? Absolutely not.

You’ve already waffled on this issue, so you shouldn’t be chiming in. There’s no debate that there is no way of guaranteeing an outcome in baseball.

 

The question is, if it’s better to have a lineup 1-9 that’s steady but without any major threat, or a lineup that’s very top heavy, and worse in the back half. If Team A has the better wRC+ in the regular season, does that mean they have a better likelihood of performing in the post-season

This argument was dead until they wanted to rehash it.

[Terminator]

No Hanton said that we have a long way to go because almost no one in our starting lineup could start for any of the 4 remaining teams. I replied that I thought we were better across the board over one of those four remaining teams and then it was back to beating the dead horse!

There were a few that hopped on, lol. The gif was simply for the 3 foot midget that's been rekt copious amount of times in this and every thread in BJMB history.

[hanton]

Getting the quick lead just like the Rangers yesterday

[Marew]

Congrats dimandbacks. Rangers and Phillies WS would have been much cooler.

[connorp]

-110 now Philly. I’d still take it

[Stangstag]

Phils gonna win this

[Spanky__99]

Lourdes stole that off of Suarez, good time to run, first move.

[Stangstag]

Since when is Gurriel a base stealer lol this s*** hurts to watch.

 

5 SB for the season but 2 in this series lol

[Marew]

As long as Moreno dies without a ring I die happy

[hanton]

Text book slide - from Gurriel of all players

Yup. Guess he IS coachable. Big turnaround with the HR power this year too. I think maybe our coaches just suck.

[Spanky__99]

Alec *Bomb* Bohm?

[Stangstag]

Alec BOOM

Yea I’m a fan of the Phillies and rangers here. Diamondbacks are a boring team

[Laika]

Pfaadt has a nasty sweeper

[glory]

I'm rooting for the Phillies as a Phillies/Rangers World Series would be really fun (plus no more playoff games for the D-Backs would mean no more Moreno discussion for at least a few weeks), but feels like it's going to be a D-Backs win tonight.

[Jays24]

Isn't everything I said there true? We ended up getting KK after we already had Varsho so that downgraded Varshos importance to the tram.

 

Now we're trying to go back and do the same thing by moving Varsho to CF so we can get a better bat in the corner OF spot. I obviously would have preferred never trading for Varsho while just signing KK who provided everything Varsho did and more.

I was shocked that he stole that. Dude is so much slower than you'd expect but is stealing bases in this series somehow lol

[Spanky__99]

You come off the bag Bryce.

I give up man, you said you never questioned KK, there it was. And what you said there was wrong, KK was better than LGJ. I SAID GOOD DAY!!!
