I feel like I chest thumped the Phillies one day and here we are Heres my basic thought: Aces give you an advance, guys like Casty and Teo become more valuable in the post-season because it’s unlikely their D will effect a game, while providing big pop, lock down RPs become more important, players like Biggio will walk less and become burdensome, stars will balance it out by walking more… Does that mean randomness does not occur? Of course not. But there’s certain things a team can have that makes their team better prepared for the playoffs.

Let’s not gaslight here. You guys are the ones that don’t understand complex thinking. You can’t accept there’s certain dynamics and weighs that change from the regular season to post season. The goal is to increase your chances of getting to the WS, improving your odds. Of course you can’t do anything to get to 100%. Guys like Acuna will have a bad series. No one is suggesting there’s not randomness.

But glad that fluke 100 win BAL team got exposed?
-
The Astros it seems have had the same f***ing team for 7 years. They’re like the Chiefs of the NFL. Tough to root for them
-
What’s funny is randomness doesn’t apply to Baltimore lol. Board take: They have best record in AL but glad they got exposed it playoffs for no SP lol
-
It’s almost like a mediocre player having the ability to take a walk, becomes a lot less meaningful in the playoffs when it’s less likely they’ll walk with better pitching, and a less chance they’ll get moved over, vs running into a HR when they have 30 HR pop. Go get a Casty voodoo doll guys!! f***ing guy is the worst

Laila hattttttes NC for a simple reason. He’s the anti-Christ to his Bible of nerd stats. NC is a terrible player because he’s a “butcher” but it’s like, count the plays he doesn’t make in the playoffs and compare that to what he hits
-
That’s not how baseball operates you douvhebag and you know it. I grew up as a Bluejay fan closely following the AL East and when a team lost in the post season, they spent overtime fixing it going into next season. It still works like this. AZ was better than MIL with the Woodruff injury. LAD put out a shameful rotation completely unlike their deep playoff runs. The bats couldn’t save them. Don’t worry, AZ will lose. It will be the Phills and their stars in OCT again. AZ will need more bullets next year
-
Strider was like Nola this year. Pitch generally good and make mistakes that dampened the work. He pitched like an Ace final numbers in these games, what do you want. Braves didn’t hit. Phillies did
-
Nick 30 hrs.. what a fluke he hit balls out
-
Again, this is so f***ing stupid. 30/40 roulette wheel. And strider’s ERA in post season was much lower than regular season, so try a little less hard lol
-
Yuck it up all you want chumps. Phillies will go back to the WS 2 times in a a row. Astros on their way to 7th straight ALCS with the same kind of team every year. Jays will give it a good try next year. Phillies are a heavyweight. Playoffs are stars against stars. Not everyone will shine all the time. All Phillys stars showed up. Not much fluke to it.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
connorp replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Fake news. I actually watched it to see if it was like that. It was more about saying Berrios decision wasn’t the only reason they lost. They didn’t hit. The Vlad baserunning mistake was front page mlb too, so it was already recognized. He was just listing off reasons for the loss. Nothing nefarious -
Don’t nitpick a heavyweight title fight. Also his ERA was like .30 lower. He was somewhat like Nola this year.
-
You guys all have like a bee hive mind thing going on
-
Bro. He was making a point and you went off on your own about projections, and how Vlad wasn’t close to his and Bo was. Re-read his original post on the topic and explain how Vlad being further away from his projections than Bo, is relevant to anything he said
-
Yeah, one of these teams is going for sure
-
Dbacks aren’t advancing anyway. It was just a good story for now. They’ll be a WS contender if they can fill out the roster. One more SP would go a long way
-
Wire-to-wire regular season. Wasn’t ever in question. Dingers brother whooped me in the 1st round after bye. I had beaten him 2x regular season and genuinely lined up horrible for the matchup.
-
The point is getting murkier here. I didn’t claim I would’ve bet AZ over LAD. LAD had a major weakness of theirs exposed though and I’ll bet you a million dollars the front office is going to spend countless hours breaking that all down. They aren’t going to be like, “dumb luck, we’ll get them next year”..
-
That doesn’t mean the odds don’t change when Gallen pitches, good try
-
“Oh wow, true”. That’s something you won’t hear. Be tough to realize you’re a step behind in your thinking
-
It’s pretty easy to quantify. Check Vegas odds, they sway majorly with who is pitching
-
I don’t count hockey. Niche sport here
-
As someone closely watching Nola’s starts this year. He was pretty frustrating. I think he’ll find it for the NLCS though
