2016 MLB Postseason Thread

[Mexi]

There's really nothing quite like a big power right hander

One of my favorite things in baseball

 

[Mexi]

2 of the blackest sheep in MLB history
Rose and ARod getting that in game air time

Good job MLB

 

[elcheato]

Cmon Francona, that has to be challenged 

 

[Mexi]

Lindor had a terrible jump

 

[Mexi]

And thats why you start schwarber
I cant believe it was even a question for people

Joe Buck made it sound like the Cubs just won the world series there 

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Indians fans are complaining about their being so many Cubs fans there, but really it is unavoidable. It is immensely cheaper to buy a ticket to an Indians game and make the 5 hour drive. Hell, you could buy a ticket and a round trip plane ticket, and that is still less expensive than going to Wrigley. 
 
People in Chicago have more money, nature of the beast. 

 
 

Saw a bandwagon cubs fan today

Fake jersey

Stopped by a fellow cubs fan and when asked where hes from he said "here"....started walking away then stopped turned and said "but i have family out there"

Lmao. Everyone has family in chicago or their grandmother was a fan in the 40s

Also helps when the vast majority of Cubs's game were broadcasted nationwide for over 60 years. Large groups of fans everywhere. Every Chicago team is a huge draw. Great sports city, and large population do that. Boston is the same way.
 
I've met a lot of Braves fans in random spots for the same reason, even in Panama. TBS had them nationwide for awhile. Not sure how long tho

Lester vs a non-dead fish vs lefties lineup is interesting

Schwarber's 1st hit in 370 days lol

Eh, there are probably a few who live here, but the vast majority are travelers. Not a far trip at all for a game.

Yeah, list price SRO was $2000 at Wrigley so not a surprise. Was at a bar in Orlando for Game 6 called, "The Friendly Confines" and there were easily 150 Cubs fans... and 2 Dodgers fans. Cubs fans are everywhere though, some fans just travel well, Steelers another that comes to mind

Did they really say Lindor is one of the top 5 guys in the league to build a franchise around?

Trout
Machado
Harper
Betts
Bryant

Probably missing others too. Nothing against Lindor though

 

[Mexi]

Ill take seager over both

If you've watched any of the NL playoffs you know these announcers aren't exactly the best thing ever

 

[elcheato]

do not slander the good name Lindor with your rational takes 

 

[elcheato]

no one wants to swing the bat tonight 

 

[Mexi]

I recognize Tito's bench coach

Former Cubs manager?

Astros, it's Brad Mills

I'd add Altuve and Kershaw to the list as well. A few others worthy of discussion like Rizzo, Freeman, although age begins to come into play with those guys. Correa in the discussion but Lindor probably a little ahead of him
