MLB 2021

Both the Giants and the Dodgers have been playing their best baseball of the year. Coming down to the wire. In fact it could end up a tie with a one game playoff to decide who wins the division. The loser has to play the wild card game THE NEXT DAY!

THIS is why LA sent Manny Machado to San Diego. No one likes playing with this aye hole.

Whit Merrifield from the Royals

Congratulations on becoming a 40-40 player
He is one of seven players who hit 40 doubles and stole 40 bases. Impressive.

 

GO ASTROS

 

American League Wild Card tiebreakers explained (mlb.com)

 

The Dodgers could theoretically win 106 games this year -- and finish 2nd.

That's practically unheard of.

Both the Dodgers and the Giants have had monster years. And St. Louis might be the hottest team right now going into the post season. None of these teams like to lose as of late.

 

Kyle Tucker is such an underrated young player.

He is not the type to cause any controversy and waive in front of the cameras.

The guy had a horrible April and May and was barreling up the ball but outfielders grabbed his line drives.


Since the ASG Tucker has outproduced both Vlad Guerrero and Ohtani with OPS !!

You will not hear about that

.917 OPS on the season .

 

I was hoping for a four-way tie with the American W.C. series.

Did not want N.Y. and Boston.


Seattle shot themselves in the foot with the hapless Angels.

Toronto ran out of games.

 

Kyle Tucker won the September Player of the Month, for the American League.

 

Hopefully loss to bosox will finally cause yanks to pull plug on this team. Fundamentally unsound with everyone playing out of position, always injured, don't know how to run bases, can bash 450' homers if crappy pitcher makes mistake but cannot do anything v elite pitcher. Time to re think this team

 

Trade Judge for prospects.

 

Yes judge value peak now after healthy season. Wont be duplicated again. Glayber and sanchez also have to go. And if cashman thinks hicks will ever be healthy, he's probably a boston double agent.

 

In reality the winning formula, is to build with young prospects and fill the holes (the prospects who did not pan out) with select free agents. You do not build most of the team with free agents. I understand Judge came up as a prospect.

Player's reach peak performance, at 27 y/o.



With the final four teams, it is a matter of luck which team crosses the finish line. (2001 Mariners). Some guys step up and others step down with the post-season pressure.

 

No luck involved w tampa, la, or astros. All 3 great teams way ahead of yanks. Sf and Boston outliers needing luck. Yanks are just little above average.

 

Sox/Yanks tilt did very well in the ratings for an ESPN game.

Walk off

 

HOLY MOLEY! What a freakin game! Awesome pitching the entire time. Normally I would criticize Dave Roberts but everything he called today was perfection.

GIANTS / DODGERS for the first time in post season. EPIC is coming!
