Braves bullpen in a rut again. Theyve been bad and good in waves this year. Really bad for a few weeks and then really good for a few weeks. Hoping they’re getting the really bad out of the way before the playoffs because what theyve shown over the last week or two will lead the team to an early exit. Wont be scoring 7+ runs every game in the playoffs
As if every Phillies fan on twitter hasn't been posting Rhys Hoskins going absolutely maniacal after hitting a homer in the NLDS last year, lol. What a fucking loser mentality. Acuna's "celebrating" after the homer last night was prolly one of his more tame ones of the season, lol.
Kid started the year in the Florida State League (A), then went to Jersey Shore (High A), Reading (AA), Lehigh Valley (AAA). Now striking out Mets in the bigs.
I know everyone here paints me as an Astros homer because I am a fan. And as much as I hate stupid pitching games in baseball, this seems deserved. Just play the game!
I said other teams cheat as well and that Astros were dumb to do it in a way that was traceable when they got caught. That got interpreted as defending them. My intent was to say the garbage can banging was completely stupid. I never said they should be given a pass nor did I excuse it. But that's what everyone jumped to.
The Astros have been involved in too many things like this heading to first base this season. I respect Dusty, but he's got to get a handle on this because it seems to be in the culture of the team now. Just play the game. And if that can't be done, then I hope they fall out of the playoffs in the next few days.
Marlins taking the lead in the top of the ninth, only for the game to be suspended after a 3 hour rain delay with 2 outs in the top of that inning is fucking wild. They may have to play 4 outs on Monday for a wildcard birth
Reds win one of the last games and they finish over .500. Way better than expected with all these rookies and losing 100 last year. Might be in line for a run at the playoffs next season if we add an arm or 2 and get a few to develop.
They also have like the third-worst record in 1-run games in MLB history, and a similarly-historically low batting average with RISP. Plus they gave 100 year-old Rich Hill meaningful starts down the stretch
