Yeah Im really not surprised by it anymore. Starters need to go 7 and we need a 3+ run lead every night

Can't say I love the call to pinch hit Swihart for Nunez in that spot

Difference is: Yankees suck

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Lol but seriously if you watched this bullpen, you would understand. I think there's triple A teams with pens just as strong.

 

[RN4L]

Strong is a loose definition

Im glad I watched the rest of the game Mitchy 2 bags coming through when it counts. Way to stay steady!

2nd time this year that replay has screwed the Astros. I thought the Oakland one was bad. This one was way more clear. I guess MLB cant have the marquee team getting swept at home.

 

[snipezo]

Donaldson is back tonight. Nice.

 

[Teagz]

Who's gonna win NL MVP? It looks like it's completely wide open.

 

[CoachAF]

The Oakland A's are 4.5 games clear of the best team in the NL......yet they are currently the 2nd wild card team in the AL....Thats crazy. The NL is so down right now.

David Wrights last game is the 29th. Gonna cost a lot, but I'm going.

To be fair, the NL is a lot more competitive. It doesnt have the same amount of easy wins as the AL does.

Dodgers trail Colorado by 1.5(2 in loss column)

And stl by 2 for the 2nd wild card

Next 7 games starting tonight

@stl for 4
Colorado at home for 3

Our season ends this week. Fuck

 

[snipezo]

 
holy fuck. 

 

[elcheato]

With the justified emphasis on spin rate, it does make sense

Not only are they balanced in the NL, this is one of the very rare years where they have a better record head to head than the AL.
 
the NL is 139-126 in interleague play

 

[Mexi]

 
holy fuck. 

juiced balls

Tighter seams and the seams are reversed from the old balls

Ta da

I didnt realize that one.

I hear ya. I buy that if they played in the Central Division, but 3 of the 4 other teams in their division have been .500 or better all year long. They play half their games in that division. How the Indians dont have 100 wins by now is beyond me. They have 3 teams in theri division that will lose 90+ games and the other will lose 85+ most likely. 
 
 
 
The NL is more balanced, but the 4 or 5 best teams in the league right now reside in the AL. Boston, Houston, Oakland, Cleveland and the Yankees all would be favored in the WS no matter the opponent. It is just interesting how different the leagues are right now. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Oakland wouldnt be favored over the cubs or dodgers, and thats a fact
