SMALL BALLERS GON LOOK MLB 2022 THREAD, Honkballers can't look and Umpires can't see

- Start date
I made it 3 years before I wished that the Caps would trade Ovechkin to the KHL and even sloppily rebuild.
welcome to the 100 wins but down 2 games to 1 to a wild card team club.
tough time of year for the Braves to run into pitcher injuries. But props to the Phillies pitching, they’ve stymied the Braves outside of a few innings

I won’t. Playing with house money now.
I have no idea what the roster situation in LA is, but I feel like they will be fine. A few tweaks (Bellinger, lol) and some different bullpen decisions, and there’s a game 5 in LA tonight. Crazy to have that season run differential and come home tho. -3 for the series. Tough break.
Limiting sales to SD County zip codes was cold AF

I don’t get the Roberts hate. He gets Dusty level unjust criticism. Zero chance any move he made wasn’t backed by the FO and data also

Playoff series should be 162 games just so the best team is guaranteed to win.
Dusty has done nothing but win for years, but ok.gif

hes a scrub. havent you seen the 4 game evidence?
Would you rather have a best of 3 series or just stay home and get 0? Because that used to be the format.
The LDS being the best of five is fine.
I mean fuck dude. The Braves and dodgers got to skip the wildcard round. That’s their reward for having the best records.

I think a bunch of writers should just pick 4 BRANDS every year and let them battle it out in games named after snack foods, and everyone else can play in meaningless games named after lawncare equipment on a network dedicated to selling cholesterol meds, all sponsored by a credit card company in the name of amateur athletics run by a non-profit
Well you get to face the other team’s best pitchers and they empty their bullpens to make the matchups as difficult as possible. That’s playoff baseball.
No I don’t. I seriously don’t. I’d be saying the same thing had the padres lost. Playoff baseball has always been that way. Get a hot pitcher and a hot hitter and they can carry you to a title. It’s awesome.
Teams can be set up better for playoff success. Like the padres. They have 3 good starters and 4 great bullpen arms. That’s generally all you need in the playoffs. That ain’t enough in the regular season though.

at least make it 7 for the best teams against wild cards. i dont get how skipping the wild card round is a punishment when teams with the best record have to sit around unlike they have all season.

I know you are wrong. Playoff baseball is amazing

I'm glad I was only six when this series happened back in 1980. I didn't know how stressful playoff baseball was back then.
1980 NLCS Phillies-Astros
Yep. That's Keith Jackson on the call.
Astros probably win this series if they listened to J.R. Richard when he complained about not feeling his arm or seeing the catcher's signs during that summer.

Exactly. Playoff baseball is basically the only time MLB feels like the sport of baseball.

The Padres and Phillies pitching staffs are pretty similar.
Padres have Musgrove, Darvish, and Snell as three good starters and then bring Garcia, Martinez, and Suarez to set things up for Hader.
Phillies have Wheeler, Nola, and Suarez as their three good starter and then bring Eflin, Alvardo, and Hand to set things up for Dominguez. Or they bring Dominguez into a high-leverage 7th/8th inning situation and let Eflin close.
That doesn't last for a 162-game season but it's more than enough to get a team through a playoff series.
Agree with Rad and Southpaw. Has nothing to do with the Padres this year. Just got to make the playoffs, and when the benches get shorter and every AB is high leverage, you only really need good players to get hot to overcome great players that aren't playing hot. Fucking Trent Grisham had like the second-worst batting average OF ALL TIME this year, and he's a legit threat ATM. Crazy.
I remember the 1990 Reds being the first time I really noticed a team getting hot and basically owning a team that was significantly better than them in the regular season (the 103-win A's). Chris Sabo FTW
