I switched over to MLB.TV to watch the 9th inning.  You knew Mauer would be a tough out in that situation, but still a great game.  Sanchez-Fister-Scherzer-Verlander is pretty formidable.

I don't think Hamels is struggling that much. His era and whip are high but his record this year doesn't accurately reflect his performance. He's delivered 7 quality starts. The problem is that Philly has absolutely no offence when he takes the mound. Giving your pitcher a one-run buffer is not exactly good run support.

I've got him on my fantasy team so I'm hoping he can turn it around and make it somewhat respectable.

yeah those comments were likely made by Giants fans.  :) I just got finished saying he has the best era in baseball history with over 1000 innings...that is pretty incredible and the dude is only 25.  If you are going to overpay for anyone he is the guy and barring injury he will earn his contract.  I am guessing 10 years 250 million or 8 years and 224 million. Obviously you do not want to go to 10 years but I am guessing it is going to be around that if it is anywhere around 5 years then he will get 30 million per as a best guess.  I figured every year less than 10 year contract will add 1 million more per year annually.

The Rangers are playing with scrub starting pitchers and still managing to be on top of the MLB. Ross Wolf pitched a win yesterday, allowing only 1 run against the A's. Wait, who's Ross Wolf? He started in place of Nick Tepesch, who had a blister. How many of us have heard of Tepesch? Next up is Justin Grimm. Yeah, I don't know who he is either. At least we know the rest of the rotation: Derek Holland and Yu Darvish.
 
Just wait until the real SPs return from injuries: Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison (SP/RP), Colby Lewis, and Alexi Ogando (SP/RP).

Now you know how it feels to [be a Mariners fan, and more specifically] watch Felix Hernandez pitch lol.

Angels lit up Maurer yesterday, scoring 5 runs in the first, and 1 in both the 2nd and 3rd innings. He was pulled and the Halos were held relatively silent after that. The M's had been hanging around in the middle of their division, but have been swept in their last 2 series (0-4 @ CLE, 0-2 @ LAA), are now only a half game up on the Angels, and will be hosting the Rangers for 3 starting tomorrow.
I'm sure it's nice to be back home after such an awful road stand, but confidence can't be very high right now. I was hoping they might start off the series with Felix pitching, but as stated above, their utter lack of run support won't do much for Felix taking the mound.

Kershaw has been the only bright spot for the Dodgers this year...well Gonzalez and Crawford are doing their share.  But he has been unbelievable. He holds the lowest era for any pitcher with more than 1000 innings in MLB history!  And he is only 25.

His era over his last 58 starts is 1.97.

He would have one the Cy Young award last year if it wasn't for the dodgers not scoring any runs for him. Still aren't scoring runs for him this year but with an era of only 1.37 he has managed to pull out 5 wins.  If Greinke is worth 150 million...what is Kershaw worth?

Last year they traded away their best prospects in the Gonzalez, Crawford trade.

They spend money poorly: 3 years 22 million to Brandon League...ouch!
5 years 85 million for Ethier when they have Puig in the works who will be one of best hitters in the league and Van Slyke who could have filled Ethier's shoes.

And Kemp has turned into a single's hitter...shoulder must be messed up.  Bullpen is bad...League is bad and Bellasario has been awful.

Colleti and Mattingly will be gone next year...Ethier will get traded by summer...they will try and dump League but they are stuck with that mess.  However, Hanley will be back and they will play him at 3rd, Dee Gorden will play short and he shows promise. Ellis is back at second and Greinke is back...they can still go on a run, especially if Kemp is even 3/4 of the player he normally is...still hope but dwindling fast.

^ That's true, they mentioned something about Jhonny Peralta's increased range which is needed because defensively the Tigers are below average at 3B and 1B.

I do not watch many Detroit games, do opposing teams bunt down the 3B line knowing Cabrera isn't smooth or quick defensively?

I thought they were actually pretty clear that Migs doesn't know how to play (like maybe he should have been covering third on that bunt, huh?) but that he is a damned fine hitter anyway

Was lookin up games to see in the SD/LA area around 4th of July. SD unfortunately is on a road trip that week. Angels are givin away "trout farm" t-shirts for the 4th and 5th for anyone in section 101 of their stadium (homerun depth but just outside the foul line in left field. They're playin STL for one of the games, and the Bosox for the latter. Would really like to see either one.

The M's did surprise me and take 2/3 at the Yanks. Now they visit the Indians for a 4-game set. Histociarlly, Indians have kinda owned the Ms, so hoping the Ms can turn that one around. One game south of .500, and we're already at the 1/4 point of the season.. crazy!

Last guy standing?  Those guys never all played together and Victor Martinez was traded for Masterson.  That makes no sense.
 
Nice bounce back by the AL East leading Yanks in the night cap.  Can't believe they're in 1st with the line-up they're putting out everyday. Their starting pitching has been pretty solid though.
I meant last guy standing from all the players they got in those trades.  I guess that was unclear.  What I meant is that none of the 8 players they received for Lee / Sabathia are in the majors, and Masterson / Hagadone (Traded for VMart) are the only 2 players making a contribution. ]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 06:34:20 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1243523#1243523 Official 2013 MLB Season : Good game by the milkman against... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1243513#1243513 Author: Von44

Last guy standing?  Those guys never all played together and Victor Martinez was traded for Masterson.  That makes no sense.
 
Nice bounce back by the AL East leading Yanks in the night cap.  Can't believe they're in 1st with the line-up they're putting out everyday. Their starting pitching has been pretty solid though.

Damn Lester pitched a gem! He prolly coulda went another 3 or 4 frames and kept the 1-hit game intact. This jays team is dreadful! They're worst than last years roster. Injuries keep piling on the starters and the hitters all try to swing for the fences. 7 regulars with more than 25 strikeouts compared to the Yankees who have 1. At this point, the deeper the playoff run the Leafs make, the better for the jays.

If Jays can take 2 of 3 in Boston then I'm happy. Bosox are slumping and this could make up some ground on them. But even then that's asking a bit much for the Jays.

Getting the right call is certainly important. But I feel reviewing each pitch for ultimate accuracy is taking it too far in a game of so many variables.
I've always agreed with the mentality that at the end of a game, people should remember only the players and plays that took place. Umpires should solely make calls and stay out of the way. If you remember the umpire's name when the day is done, then they weren't doing his/her job as well as they should.

I don't think the problem is pitchers using sunscreen on their bodies but its when they start taking the sunscreen residue off their skin and rubbing it all over the ball before each pitch.


Yeah, that would likely be the argument. Just gob some extra on and rub it into the ball for a spitball-like effect. Given, the average life of an MLB baseball is only 5 pitches, so you're REALLY gonna need to gob it on to get through an inning, but it's a semi-valid concern nonetheless.

Baseball has always been behind the curve in keeping up with the times. Currently IR can be used to review homerun balls, but unfortunately that did not lead to the correct call being made last night. Upcoming in the 2014 season, "Instant Replay will expand to include fair and foul calls and balls that are caught, or trapped by the player catching the ball. It will also expand interference reviews beyond the home run boundary to all walls." - Source: Wikipedia
Either way, the system has to be improved.
I wouldn't go so far as to using IR for balls/strikes, as at some point, you're taking umpire judgement completely out of the game. The fact that each umpire has a different strike zone is an enjoyable nuance of baseball (assuming they remain consistent for each team). Having a cookie cutter strike zone for each batter in any game removes that whole element of the game.

Yeah, I think there needs to be a quick way to do it though, seeing how the games are already long and there are probably 20-30 disputable plays per game depending on how it is used. 

I would be fine with K-Zone calling balls and strikes.  Foul balls should be easy to review as well, but would lead to more plays being played out.  For bang-bang plays though, they need to do something faster than how football does it.

What are your takes on instant replay in baseball?  Last night's debocal is just another in a growing line of junk.  Wouldn't it be nice to make the correct calls more often than not?  I feel bad for the umps, because every call they make is scrutinized by dudes on their couches with tivo.
 
I mean, even golf changed its rules because of high-def television! 
 
Baseball is just so stuffy!

I don't think the problem is pitchers using sunscreen on their bodies but its when they start taking the sunscreen residue off their skin and rubbing it all over the ball before each pitch.

It's interesting cuz normally it's the Jays being accused of wrong doing. Pretty soon the Jays will get called out again for "stealing signs" by placing a guy in a white tshirt out in centre field with binoculars.

They showed Bucholz clearly taking sweat or something else off his forearm and wiping it on the ball. But in the end, I don't think anything will come of it cuz its mlb here.

^ I would love to take in games in other cities.  I don't have many notches on my belt right now, I have been to Coors Field (obviously), Busch Stadium - St. Louis, Wrigley Field - Chicago, Chase Field - Arizona.  Since my job requires a lot of travel I have been to many minor league games across the country and I always buy a hat for the local team.

Looked at plane ticket prices to Houston and they're unfortunately out of my pay grade. Considering other options (SD is still on the ballot, of course, and plane tix are hella cheap). Also thinkin LAD as well, as I have some friends moving down there this weekend. That would allow a prolonged visit rather than panning out for hotels and all that @$()*. SD from LA marks a 2 hour trip up I5 (assuming good traffic). Could easily do that in a week-long visit :)

That was a crazy game.  L.A. probably thought they had the game won up by 2 runs going into the bottom of the 9th (blown save) and again when they scored in the 15th inning.  Angels and their huge payroll are 9-16 on the season.  Hamilton ($17.4M) is batting .202, Pujols ($16M)at .265.  That's a lot of money for 2 "superstars" that aren't producing.  Add C.J. Wilson ($11.5M) and his 4.50 ERA to the list of highly paid and under-performing players on this team.  Rangers (16-9, 1st place) appear to be doing fine without Hamilton and Wilson.]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 11:39:09 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1242139#1242139 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by screwyvarmintI... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1242135#1242135 Author: Geez

As unbalanced as the Phils are, they have a decent chance this year if only because they play the Mets and the Marlins 36 times.  Mets are not bad (especially when Harvey pitches), but the Phils are 5-1 against them.  If they load up against those teams and play .500 against the rest of the league, they are right in the thick of the WC race.  Yes, I realize this is borderline delusional.]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:07:19 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1242046#1242046 Official 2013 MLB Season : bautista and lawrie are whiffing... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1242018#1242018 Author: chenmt

Tough loss for the Dodgers yesterday.  Up one run with two out in 7th and Guerrier comes in to give up a bomb.  Then Mattingly leaves him in for the 8th and he gives up another bomb. Sometimes Mattingly makes me scratch my head with pitching moves.
He had a few good years but his numbers really dropped after negotiate his contract extension and never lived up to it. Now he's having a career comeback and its against the jays. Perfect!

Just hurts to get swept by the Yankees. But when there's no offence it's understandable. Jays batting .224 as a team. Maybe they need to learn to hit off a tee. Huge failure so far this season!

I thought Vernon Wells was a monster with the Jays?

Tough loss for the Dodgers yesterday.  Up one run with two out in 7th and Guerrier comes in to give up a bomb.  Then Mattingly leaves him in for the 8th and he gives up another bomb. Sometimes Mattingly makes me scratch my head with pitching moves.

i usually find tix at stubhub but last resort would be buying from scampers. Though I hear giants tix are super pricey! Up there wi Bosox and Yankees' games.

While we're on the M's... Felix picked up his career 100th win tonight over the 'Stros. And they finally gave him some run support! woooh! Least they can beat ONE team out of Texas lol.

As for the AL Central, it is certainly the tightest race in the majors right now. Losing the one run game in the 13th yesterday didn't do any favors for their confidence I'm sure, but they got a load of talent and it's a long, long season.

True, everything is always looks good on paper. But there is plenty of game left. So far the best starter in the rotation is JA Happ. I think he'll get his second win tonight. As for Johnson, he just doesn't seem to be mixing his pitches well. Looks like he wants to throw a bunch of fastballs inside and out but ends up leaving them over the plate. Dickey will come around once the weather warms up and the dome is opened. The HRs he's given up were him trying to throw fastballs. Why? I have no idea. But I don't think this team is all hype, they will eventually live up to it once things warms up. Not everyone is hot out of the gates. Look at Boston last year. They did pretty well after that. I still have faith in this Jays team.

Zack Greinke breaks his collarbone when Carlos Quentin rushed the mound after getting hit by a pitch.  Sounds like Quentin was thinking about the previous 2 times Greinke hit him with a pitch (when they were with the White Sox and Royals).  If Quentin had a brain he would have realized Greinke was not trying to hit him - the score was 2-1 and the pitch count was 3-2.  Getting hit by a pitch is nothing new for Quentin, he led the major leagues the past 2 seasons in that stat category.

Matt Kemp confronted Quentin in the hallway after the game and the 2 had to be separated by security and police.

This should stoke the rivalry fire between the 2 teams.  Wonder how many batters are going to get plunked the next time the teams play (Monday, on Jackie Robinson Day).

8 of 13 games today had a team scoring 8+ runs.. Lovin the offensive production. I'm not a huge homerun junkie, but it makes it seem like no-hitters may be a little harder to come by this season! 2012 made em almost seem commonplace!
And yet again, the Moroners give up big numbers to Houston (one of the 8 games mentioned above). It is kinda funny that they seem to be the only team in the MLB who can't manage to score runs at Safeco LOL

Timmy is still a young guy. He's got plenty of time to correct the problem. However, Doc is at the end of the line. Poor guy, hate to see him go out like that after what he's accomplished over his career.
 
On a side note, Miggy finally belts his first homer. And of course it's against my Jays.

In addition to that, Wrigley isn't good for fans that want to pay a lot.  It is great for me where I like the old-timey aesthetics, cheapseats and looking at the ivy wall.  But having more tickets available by having more seats, having less obstructed and partial views, and being able to sell skybox and luxury suite tickets would be better for the organization and therefore eventually better for the fans.

Yeah... just because he's doc i hope he gets his stuff together, but he definitely isn't looking good with two very poor outings. Still lots of ball to be played though



Giants though, PENCE doing it big. Bum not doing his best work today but good enough to get the win with pence staying hot. Along with that, right when i was saying posey was stuck in a slump, he puts a nice opposite field rbi single in the 8th. Hope that gets him back in the groove. Romo just lights out, though he started with a hit, still struck out the side, though helton's last pitch was a bit questionable, i'll take it

That's awesome. Never knew about the Wrigleyville rooftops. Don't think there will ever be a new stadium. Like Fenway park, the place has too much history to be replaced.

^ I am a Phils fan, so I hope he still has something left.  But he lost velocity last year, and now it is creeping back up, but he has lost his command.  He's been throwing a ton of off-speed stuff for the past year (including spring training), and it looks like he is trying to avoid throwing his fastball at all costs.  He still struck guys outs last night, but when they put it in play, they hammered it.]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:23:45 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1239137#1239137 Official 2013 MLB Season : I wouldn&#039;t be so quick to... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1239127#1239127 Author: chenmt

like the other guys said up there, its way too early to say hes "done". but he has lost it for now, kinda sad to see it happen like that but its the same way for timmy.
although timmy pitched a "solid" game, he had spurts of good pitching but gave up 7 walks to the dodgers. I hope he takes this game and just improves and gets to a respectable starter. Need me some timmy

In his case I think it is reflective of him being a future star.  

From Espn's Jim Bowden:

 Yasiel Puig comes up as an injury replacement, and “Yasielmania” ensues. 

Puig was the most dynamic player I saw all spring and reminded me of a cross between Bo Jackson and Yoenis Cespedes. I wrote about his tremendous abilities in my blog last week. A Matt Kemp/Puig combination has a chance to be the best power/speed tandem in the game. Puig’s at-bats will be must-see events, and he will electrify Dodger Stadium, bringing back the memories of “Fernandomania,” when Fernando Valenzuela routinely sold out Chavez Ravine during his starts.

On a side note, I'm surprised to see the M's at 12th. They generated $215 million last year and spent the majority of it locking down one of the best pitchers in baseball, King Felix. 


Nice post, Von! I am not terribly surprised to see the M's at that place in the list. They have a huge Asian following/market, albeit that took a slight hit with Ichiro leaving last season. They were in the top 5 a few seasons back, but still weren't winning any more games than they do now lol.
Glad someone mentioned the M's (other than me, for once lol) in this thread too. I was lookin over their schedule, and in a match against Texas in late April, they're having a bobblehead night commemorating Felix's perfect game last season. First 20k fans in the gate get one. I'm gonna try real damn hard to get to that game. Not only do I just want to see an M's game (it's been like 6 years), but would love to have a piece of M's history. Trip planning, commence!

It's true -- there was a story on ESPN about spring training stats for prospects over the past few years and how there is really no pattern either way to predict how they will perform during the season.

That being said, it is always better when the player is succeeding (and it means "nothing" in spring training) as opposed to struggling.

Fair enough... It's certainly gonna be more difficult to win the AL East given the performance of Baltimore last season. But ya know, they can just let their stars rest for a while, then have em all come back at 100% and string together 40 consecutive wins or some shit lol.

I am starting to get more skeptical that Halladay will ever get it back.  If anyone has the work ethic to do it, it's Doc.  But there is a lot of mileage in that arm, and the velocity has been alarmingly dropping for a year.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the Braves bullpen.  Kimbrel didn't look so hot in the WBC, and reports say O'Flaherty and Venters' velocity is way down.  I liked the Upton pickups, but no Prado, Chipper or Bourn this year will hurt.  Plus, who knows what they are getting out of McCann after the shoulder injury.]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2013 14:22:32 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1236446#1236446 Official 2013 MLB Season : ^It def was intense, but as... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1236231#1236231 Author: Von44

^It def was intense, but as a Jays fan, I got kinda nervous watching Dickey throw one high and in on Jose Reyes. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but def made me a bit nervous for a moment there.

on a side note, Johnson pitching well for the Jays so far in s/t. Could be a big year for this guy.

I think kemp has a huge bounce back year. He was on track for it last year before he got hurt. Pujols is a stud but there's not that big of a difference between him and votto and fielder. I think you draft for value. I have 5 OF spots in my league so it's important to get a stud early.

I think that is a pretty solid top-10.  Maybe swap a few places, but you can't really go wrong with the top picks.  Votto is a great pick if your league gives points for OPS.  Unless Braun gets suspended (I doubt he will), he is the most consistent OF in fantasy.

Trout missed being a rookie 2 years ago by like 5 at bats, so last year was pretty much his sophmore season.  I would just be worried that he showed up to camp overweight.  When speed is a part of your game, you never want to play your way into shape.

I'm really hoping Trout doesn't hit the slump. I really enjoy watching the guy play, and not only for the stats he puts up. He just seems to really love playing the game for the sake of playing the game. Hardly ever see that guy out in the field without a smile on his face. He never looks pressured to do much, and always seems to execute. All sports need more people like that guy :)

I think Matt Kemp (if he stays healthy), Andrew McCutchen, Joey Votto, and Carlos Gonzalez are first rounders.
kinda on the fence with Carlos as his numbers have dipped since 2010.
 
And if Miggy only projects his 30/120/300 stats then I think I'd may go with Trout instead cuz of his speed. If Miggy has better projections like say another +10 homers then it's a clear choice.

Jays got a lot of new toys this year.  If ever there was a year for them to make a run, this is it.  Yankees could struggle (by that I mean, not win 95 games), Sox big signings were Victorino and Napoli, and the O's probably won't win 90% of their 1-run games again.  Rays are always a threat, though.]]> Fri, 08 Mar 2013 11:17:03 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1235002#1235002 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by Geez Originally... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1234975#1234975 Author: Von44

Yea I think Swisher can really help the ball club. He could have a really good year hitting cleanup.


@j_lucky - I'm just praying that they can all stay healthy during the regular season. Also, not too worried about the Yankees this year as they've lost a lot of core guys and vets via signings or injuries. Boston is rebuilding. So really its just Baltimore and Tampa that my Jays are competing with, but then again, it's Boston and NY were talking about so I will not look past them. As for the AL West, it's looking more stacked each and every day kinda like what the East was for the past several years. M's are kinda in the same spot as the Jays going up against powerhouse teams. Just gotta stay healthy and grind out some games.

Oye! I was wondering where this thread ended up! Thanks for reviving it, Von. Sucky that it's on such poor circumstances. The Jays have really had a rough going with their injuries the past couple seasons. Vying against Baltimore and NYY is already a tall enough order. Gotta be healthy!
I'm hoping the young Seattle team can somehow be competitive in the AL West this year. The Rangers and Athletics put on quite a show last year, and despite the Angels weaknesses, still have Mr. Trout at their disposal. Really tough division! I really am curious how the new field dimensions at Safeco will help their batting. Safeco has neverbeen a hitter's ballpark, but if you're the home team, you should still be able to hit better there than your opponent lol.

While he's definitely not been the dominant pitcher he was in 07-09, Matsuzaka's still only 32. There's a number of pitchers who have gone a ways beyond that. While the tommy john and last year's 8+ ERA are certainly liabilities, he was still pitching just shy of 1 strikeout per inning. In very limited-inning appearances (say as limited relief pitcher, similar to the Mariner's setup in 2007-2009), it could work out. The $1.5 mill Minor league contact won't really put the Indians in any kind of financial bind, so they still can hold some options open for the young guns :)

If Kershaw is going to get $200 million it's only going to come from the Dodgers who now have money to burn.  No one else would offer him that.
yeah arid had the same money per year but he played a full season and not just 30+ starts. Every start Felix makes will be approx just over $750,000 per start.]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:59:16 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1230148#1230148 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by solocreepTim... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1230147#1230147 Author: Von44

Yeah.. we fans of the paltry M's are very well aware of this. Their batting average leader for last season hit .276 (not counting those with very limited at bats). Not to clown on Jaso, as I find he's an incredibly entertaining player to watch, but CMON!

While I'm a huge fan of Felix, and am glad he's sticking around Seattle a while longer, I was thinkin the same thing! Hell, he could tear a ligament one game into this season and could possibly never pitch again! Forecasting 7 years down the road is INSANE! I understand pitchers want to feel protected, but to the same end, there's no guarantee a team will have their investment protected.. ya know?

Dickey seems like a cool cat. I watched his interview on John Stewart, and have since downloaded the "Knuckleball!" movie. I've yet to watch it, but it's on my to-do list. Really, really smart guy. Would much rather watch a post-game interview with him than almost any other player in the major leagues.


Dickey is absolutely one of the best guys in sports. His story is fascinating beyond belief...There's an awesome article about him and Hersheiser when he was his pitching coach in Texas. The fact he just got paid, even as a fan of one of my rivals is just awesome. Wish nothing but the best for that guy. Total down to earth, wanted to stay in NY but understands the reasoning. Hope he kills the Red Sox and Yankees every outing.

Don't like hearing how the Jays are considering trading away their top prospect, D'Arnaud, to get Dickey. Too risky when it comes to a 38 year old pitcher that just had a career year. Its different if he was in his early 30s, then the trade would seem reasonable. But to give up the future, from the Halladay deal, for a guy that might play another 2 years is ridiculous.]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:49:07 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1219655#1219655 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by CassinoNorthAngels... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1219528#1219528 Author: lightning80

i don't think that was a good move for the angels, overpaying for a player with huge risks. the rangers kept him in check for the most part and weren't willing to pay him that kind of money because they know things that nobody else knows. i expect him to relaps into his addictions in the OC/LA.

They've been working with him on an extension as well and they have until 2016 to make it happen. I think the Rays would take a 6 year/100 mm extension for him too. You lose those two players, you lose the franchise itself.

I remember when he first got caught. I heard the cheaters are two steps ahead of the testing. If you get caught, its cuz you took it wrong. If anything, Melky learned how to take steroids the right way during his time off.

Now he has a WS ring and a new contact. And we just learned it pays to take steroids.

he wasn't part of the roster and he got a ring? wait what?

as for "being steps ahead"...yeah, he DEFINITELY tried to get away with it by creating a dumb website

his associate is banned from all but a SMALL HANDFUL of clubhouses, rightfully so, and the entire ordeal was COMPLETELY "hamfisted". while he was admittedly nice to have for a bit, everyone in sf loved the way he performed, he lied about it and basically almost cost the giants a post season entry...but i guess that's where pagan, pence, and scutaro come in

Why do you sound so surprised? He's not gonna win it hands down every year. JV didn't put numbers like he did the year before where he racked up 24 wins. He only won 17 so that doesn't guarantee him the Cy Young. Aside from K's, Price just had better numbers for a well deserved award.

from MLB.com: "The four-point margin between Price and Verlander made it one of the closest races in the history of the AL balloting and the slimmest margin of victory since 1969, the only Cy Young tie.
...He tied for the AL lead with 20 wins, and his 2.56 ERA was the best in the league. Price racked up 205 strikeouts in 211 innings and held opponents to a .318 slugging percentage, lowest in the AL, while making a Major League-high 23 starts of seven innings or more"

Pretty impressive stats for the season!
Price finished with 14 1st place votes, 13 2nd place votes, and 1 3rd place vote (153 points total).
Verlander finished with 13/13/2 (149 points total).

Baaahhaha, good one! He certainly is getting along in the years, but I think he could still be a solid 2-spot hitter. Batted .313 last year, but he could definitely be a bit more patient at the plate. A little over 20% of his outs are strikeouts. But That's still better than grounding into a DP.

I actually didn't know this until today, but only 5 of the 9 triple crown winners before Cabrera actually won the MVP.  But considering nobody has won a triple crown since Yaz in 1967, I would just assume Cabrera is a lock this year.  

That being said, I personally would vote for Trout, because his numbers are amazing across the board.  He only played 139 games and still led MLB in runs and stolen bases.  His conventional triple crown numbers of 30 HR, 83 RBI, .326 are legit.  And he was the best outfielder in the league regardless of the fact that he got screwed out of a gold glove award.

OK, so we agree to disagree  Ermm
 
I guess I disagree with Mr. October too.  Dang I'm just not firing on all cylinders today.  It's not because I'm under 40.  I do recognize the importance of the Triple Crown; in fact I was in the Miggy for MVP camp for a long long time until I thought about what "valuable" means, at least to me, and I think to many managers too.  
I realize that the voters may not agree (Miggy probably will win MVP), but the ultimate goal in baseball is to win games, as many games as possible.  How do you win games? By scoring more runs than the other team.  How is this accomplished?  In a very basic sense, by producing runs and by preventing the other team from scoring as many runs.  Baseball has very specific and defined offensive and defensive portions, and when you can effect the outcome on both sides that is incredibly valuable to the win-loss record of any team.  If I had a vote, it would go to Trout.  Sorry Reggie.
 
Oh yeah, Disclaimer:  I grew up 10 minutes away from Angel Stadium.  Big smile  haha

I'll agree with Reggie and the argument for Cabrera. While trout had a really good season (and i don't believe the Angels would have been the same without him), players with really good seasons come around all the time. A triple crown hasn't been earned in 45 years when Yazi did it. That shows just how stellar of a feat it is.. and I'll argue Detroit wouldn't have been the same without him, either.]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:49:16 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1209603#1209603 Official 2013 MLB Season : What those stats do evaluate is... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1209598#1209598 Author: Cooperla

What those stats do evaluate is a player's all-around performance.  Reggie is just talking about hitting. 
 
I agree that Trout is a better all-around player and did more (stolen bases, great D).  I just don't think you should win MVP when your team finished third in the division and missed the playoffs.
 
Or change the award to "Best All-Around Player" and be done with it.

I like Reggie's opinion on the matter:

Reggie Jackson said he doesn’t see a debate where the AL MVP award is concerned.

“MVP conversations are for people who don’t understand the game,” Jackson said Wednesday at Comerica Park. “Those conversations are for people who don’t know what a Triple Crown means. They don’t understand the greatness of what Miguel Cabrera has done this year.”

Jackson, the 1973 AL MVP for the Oakland A’s and a first-ballot Hall of Famer, said the sabermetricians who believe Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout should be this year’s MVP based on the Wins Above Replacement (W.A.R.) statistic are missing the obvious.

“W.A.R. evaluates the average player well but does not work in evaluating the great players,” Jackson said. “People under 40 tend to see the MVP as being Trout with the W.A.R. ratings. But people over 40 understand the Triple Crown that Miguel won this year, and know just how impressive that is.”

123 at bats and 30 HRs?  There's no way that stat is correct.
 
But I agree on your MVP argument - Tigers made the playoffs so Cabrera was more valuable to their success.  Not Trout's fault, but that's how I would evaluate the award.
 
EDIT:  Never mind, I just re-read your post and I'm being a dumb-ass.  carry on.
 
But if I could have either player for the next 5 years it would be Trout, without question.

You do know that Mike Trout had 123 at bats last year.  The number to be considered a rookie is 130.  So 2 more games for him last year and he's not even in consideration for this ROY.  That's just as marginal as Cabrera's 1 HR.
 
Plus this all goes back to the argument: s valuable the same as outstanding? The Angels didn't even make the playoffs.  How valuable could Trout have been?

I think he could've won gg but iono I never payed attention too much besides what we saw on the highlight reel. And you think he's gonna win MVP? Cabrera has to win MVP. You can't not give MVP to a triple crown winner, no matter how good trout was this season. I was saying earlier, if he didn't get the triple crown then yeah, I think trout should win it, but it IS  a triple crown

That's a pretty good question, and I completely agree! During the MLB season, it seemed like every other day that guy was on Sportscenter's Top 10 doing something crazy good. I suppose the plus side is that he's uber young and will have a dozen more opportunities to grab that title :)

Why didn't Mike Trout win the gold glove in CF?  Nothing against Adam Jones, but Trout is just notably better.  He made half as many errors, stat nerds seem to be saying he was better in tons of weird defensive statistics, and he made more highlight reel catches.  I'm confused.]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2012 05:46:05 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1209522#1209522 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by robnezz23 I... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1209343#1209343 Author: ctoma

I goggle'd 1984 World Series bubba burning car and went to the Images link.  Yeah, 1984 was a good year until Bubba made national news with that photo.

To put it in perspective, I was in my first year of college, working as a waiter at Chi-Chi's.  I watched the game at Chi-Chi's and a bunch of us decided to head into Detroit to celebrate.  We took famous Woodward Avenue as far as we could before it became a parking lot.  We parked on a side street and worked our way through the crowd, high-fiving strangers, sipping beers given to us by complete strangers, screaming, yelling, etc.  It was a great time.  Fortunately for us naive young white suburban kids we were pretty far from where the riots started and spread.

This is a good read, I can identify with the author although I didn't get a souvenir that night:

I don't know if Kenny "Bubba" Helms of Lincoln Park, MI was the first when the 16 year old high school dropout posed for this photo after the Tigers won the World Series in 1984 but it's one image that stays with you for a long time.  Especially when you consider the overturned en fuego car is a Detroit Police car.  Nice gut, Bubba, RIP.

As a disclaimer, I hate the SF Giants, and I don't think this would ever happen or be fair, but...

What if MLB, in an attempt to curb steroid use, would vacate any team's wins if they had a player fail a steroid test.  That's a legit threat.  The suspensions obviously aren't a huge concern, because players continue to juice up.  And everything worked out for San Fran this year.  Cabrera gave them half of a huge year, then got caught for juicing, and they rolled on without him to a World Series title.

Obviously it would be a very harsh penalty, but college sports actually does it.  Penn State lost ten years of wins or whatever because of an off-field issue.  USC and many other teams lost wins because of eligibility issues.  Just sayin.

On another note, it was a pretty weak series in retrospect. I was too caught up in the giant's winning so i didn't get the chance to look at it from the other side, but I mean, I wasn't expecting that giant's to sweep and honestly kinda wanted them to at least bring back for game 6. but ecstatic either way

No need to apologize, it was a shitty World Series.  The Tigers have done it to me again, got my hopes up (refer to 2006) and let them crash down to Earth.  

Sports talk radio here is lambasting everyone in the Tigers organization except Illitch.  There's the usual pie-in-the-sky talk (if we sign Josh Hamilton...) as well as the trade everyone talk (package Verlander with Fielder...), some of the fans here are delusional.  That's what happens when the Tigers take you on the playoffs roller coaster.  No one has come up with a decent reason for the Tigers' weak effort.  There's the "5 days of rest" bullshit, the "this team just expected to show up and win" excuse, and it goes on and on.  Bottom line is the stars did not perform as stars (Verlander, Cabrera, Fielder) and the "dirtbags" (Leyland's term of affection for the non-stars that grind out at-bats, hustle on the base paths, and do all the little things that help the team win) didn't do the "dirtbag" things they did in the regular season.  

At least I can say I was old enough to celebrate 1 World Series, 1984, when Detroit set the standard for World Series rioting.

I don't think you're the only one who decided to NOT watch the series.  Apparently it was one of the lowest TV ratings ever.  To be sure, it was really really REALLY boring.  *Yawn*
 
At the same time, there is something just so purely joyful and innocent about watching grown ass men hug each other and celebrate like 10 year olds, jumping up and down all smiles.

Some of more rambunctious fans "set off fireworks, lit bonfires and climbed atop Muni buses or any car that happened to be at hand," per the San Francisco Chronicle.


Detroit had its' World Series riot in 1984 and learned from it.  Subsequent celebrations for the Red Wings Stanley Cup Championships and Pistons NBA Championships went smoothly without any rioting.  

I don't get the rioting part.  Celebrating, yes, go out and have fun, enjoy it.  Rioting, fires, vandalism?  Nope, I just don't get it.

Stay classy, SF.

i guess it is a good thing the A's didnt get into the world series because it would be bay area chaos no matter the outcome

Didn't they rule the All-Star game and get home field advantage with a player who was cheating and suspended for steroids?

^ Why do people act like barbarians when their team wins a league championship?  This isn't the first time for SF, you would think they learned how to celebrate peacefully after 2010:

As was the case after the team won the 2010 title, the raucous celebration was reportedly punctuated by fire and rioting, according to various reports.

Some of more rambunctious fans "set off fireworks, lit bonfires and climbed atop Muni buses or any car that happened to be at hand," per the San Francisco Chronicle.


Detroit had its' World Series riot in 1984 and learned from it.  Subsequent celebrations for the Red Wings Stanley Cup Championships and Pistons NBA Championships went smoothly without any rioting.  

I don't get the rioting part.  Celebrating, yes, go out and have fun, enjoy it.  Rioting, fires, vandalism?  Nope, I just don't get it.

Stay classy, SF.

I think they were trying to make it a "point counterpoint" type analysis but they just lead with this instead, our newspaper is awful.  Or maybe they're trying to jinx the gigantes, who knows.

I also like how they all forgot what this pitching staff can amount to. Yeah they had their ups and downs throughout the year and yeah Barry Zito, but we all know they can all pitch. As for Barry Zito, we started the season off getting dominantly swept by the d-backs where our starting pitching just got destroyed; Barry Zito then comes along to pitch a CG SO (which is honestly the reason why I predicted the cg so for zito game 5 of nlcs). Either way, these scrappy giants have showed up to play and I just love it when the sports writers are wrong.

one more game to go to cinch it...and the tigers have to get through our ace to stay alive...and i feel pretty bad for their fans right now because it's pretty FRUSTRATING to see your team not put anything on the board like this. their only chance was when cabrera had the bases loaded but volgelsong came through for us that inning...hot damn

And yes, it's too soon to explicitly rule any team out at this point, but it's certainly a tough road ahead for Detroit. Statistics:
In the world series, teams that take a 2-0 series lead are 23-27 (.460) in game 3's. Teams that take a 2-0 series while playing at home are 15-21 (.417) in game 3's. So the odds do speak in favor of Detroit with respect to tonight's game.
However, series don't end with game 3. So, continuing to the end of the series, teams that take a 2-0 series lead are 40-10 (.800) in taking the series, and 29-7 (.806) when they have taken it playing at home.
If Detroit takes game 3 and SF's lead is cut to 2-1, the odds are still in the Giants' favor, though not quite to such drastic proportions. The team with the 2-1 lead is 55-25 (.688) to win the series outright, and 31-12 (.721) when the leading team played game one at home.

I'm still rooting for the giants, but it's looking... scary lol.

i was referencing the gist of an article i read earlier on sfgate, unfortunately i can't find it anymore to link! D:


@Haven 2135i don't think it's a matter of IF the tigers can hit but IF the giant's pitcher LETS THEM...so far they've been denied a TON of key plays or even getting SOMEONE on base
and then there's the tiger's defense...maybe i'm spoiled by the giants but NO ONE on the tigers seems to WANT TO go after the ball, like they think it'll just BOUNCE UP AND GO BEYOND THEIR REACH (lol top of the 2nd inning for the giants)

ONE GAME AT A TIME, GENTLEMEN...one game at a time!

The Giants did what they were supposed to do and take care of the home games. The Tigers suck on the road, so I don't know if they can win the series. I do see it going seven games, but not looking like it is going in the Tigers favor anymore, unless somebody can hit on the road.

While i have agreed with a number of your posts TWolf, historical WS appearances say nothing as to the quality of a current team in comparison to another.

And yes, it's too soon to explicitly rule any team out at this point, but it's certainly a tough road ahead for Detroit. Statistics:
In the world series, teams that take a 2-0 series lead are 23-27 (.460) in game 3's. Teams that take a 2-0 series while playing at home are 15-21 (.417) in game 3's. So the odds do speak in favor of Detroit with respect to tonight's game.
However, series don't end with game 3. So, continuing to the end of the series, teams that take a 2-0 series lead are 40-10 (.800) in taking the series, and 29-7 (.806) when they have taken it playing at home.
If Detroit takes game 3 and SF's lead is cut to 2-1, the odds are still in the Giants' favor, though not quite to such drastic proportions. The team with the 2-1 lead is 55-25 (.688) to win the series outright, and 31-12 (.721) when the leading team played game one at home.

I'm still rooting for the giants, but it's looking... scary lol.

as a franchise and statistically speaking, yes. Giants are the better team atm (we have more WS appearances) and if we win the WS, it will seal the deal.

also, it's ONLY 2-0 games, it's too soon to "call it" until we see it's the end. don't forget how close the giants were to an elimination before coming back in sweeping fashion...tigers could easily do the same.

get it done asap and leave nothing behind. this is one of the reasons the Reds let us go. the cards let us go because of a crappy short stop and bad pitching...because that run gap is huge, lol

Answer to 1 above:  TACO BELL
 
No. 16 on his uniform; No. 1 in America's hearts. With his first stolen base of the postseason, San Francisco Giants' outfielder Angel Pagan won free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos for America.

Taco Bell(R) promised with its "Steal A Base, Steal A Taco" offer that if any player stole a base during the 2012 Major League Baseball World Series, it would give away its best selling taco to everyone in America. During the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 2, Pagan - who had 29 stolen bases in 2012 - effectively stole free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos for the entire country.

Fans can visit any participating Taco Bell on Oct. 30 from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (local time) and claim their one free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos.

"Every time a runner got on base, we were rooting alongside fans for that stolen base," said Brian Niccol, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer, Taco Bell Corp.

"Here's to the Giants' Angel Pagan for making a big play for their team out and scoring the entire country free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos." No purchase necessary. Subject to official rules found in-store and online at

. Eligible consumers can obtain their free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos on Oct. 30 only. To obtain the free taco, consumers must visit any participating Taco Bell restaurant in one of the fifty (50) United States or District of Columbia between 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

(local time) on Oct. 30 only and request a free Doritos(R) Locos Tacos, while supplies last. Limit one (1) free taco per person. Void where prohibited. Offer valid at participating Taco Bell locations.

One thing I've noticed is the home plate umps have been calling a tighter strike zone than we have seen during the course of the regular season.

A worn down Oakland?  Oakland just took 3 straight from Texas to win the division, they were on a huge high and had momentum heading into the series with Detroit.  We can agree to disagree but I think the A's challenged Detroit in the first series.  NY, on the other hand, was horrible and didn't put up any fight other than the 9th inning heart attack when Valverde almost gave it away.

Now, onto the point I have been bitching about all season... the Tigers should be putting up 6+ runs every game.  We have seen the power outages and wondered how they can only scrape 1 or 2 runs off a washed up pitcher (as they did last night) but it's the f*cking World Series now, pull your bats and heads out of your asses and start hitting!!!  The lack of offense frustrates the crap out of me.  Kind of like how the Red Wings put 44 shots on net and only score 1 or 2 goals, they have a tendency to make average goalies look like Vezina candidates - the same way the Tigers make average pitchers look like Cy Young candidates.

I'm rooting for Detroit as well, and while it was a HIDEOUS first game for Tigers fans, it is a 7-game series! Lots of baseball left to be played. Zito pitched phenomenally last night; and you could tell when they pulled him he was upset he didn't get to close it out. But no sense in burning out the arm when you've got the win secured! As i said a few pages back, Lincecum is a definite threat as an RP; He had some serious movement on his pitches last night, and the limited innings keep him available for any and all upcoming games. (yikes) On top of that, Panda was just insane. On his third at bat when i heard the crack, even I was cheering for that thing to get out of the park (the game was pretty much decided by that point, so why not root for a guy to have a historical game). I know on his 4th plate appearance, everyone was looking to see him hit another. But that single was his just as perfectly as any of the homers were. He saw the ball really well last night and imposed his will upon it.
Detroit's got power, but they're not gonna win games giving up 8 runs.

Shing, they put the checkmark next Detroit for "power" because over the course of the season, SF had the fewest homeruns in the MLB. Yankees led with 245, Giants closed it out with 103, 13 fewer than the 2nd to last place Dodgers. The 2 checks next to pitching certainly got blasted last night, but it's not like we don't generally expect Verlander to pitch well. But he's now 0-2 in WS games. Soundin as clutch as Payrod.

SF outplayed Detroit in every category last night.  Apparently Leyland's "plan" for the time between series didn't work, back to the drawing board.

I'll be happy if the Tigers take Game 2, a split away is always good.

hopefully this kicks the tigers into gear for a REAL game...because they're not playing as tight as they ought to...or well, as much as what anyone expected

zito technically didn't do anything amazing (his fastball is still only 80) beyond execution (and it was beautiful) and somehow that screwed up hitting early game (i don't even know how he gets past people or gets those easy outs...lol) until lincecum took over (since zito already out-pitched jv by basically 3 innings)

as for giants batting in game one...nothing short of phenomenal. turns out it wasn't sandoval getting an edge on jv, it was the relief pitcher that came after as well! 

still a long way to go and hopefully the giants don't let it get to their heads...haven't watched espn lately though, i wonder if they're still considered the underdog...

Pablo's first hr got me excited. Pablo's second hr got me jumping up and down and got my hand hurting from high fives. Pablo's third hr made me stop and think that this was a dream. The second and third hrs were nutts. The pitches that he hit to make those go, my god. The second off verlander was away and he just backspun it the opposite way. I didn't think it was going until I saw Young just keep running. And the low slider? Giant's offense rolling. Let's keep it up.
Zito pitching GREAT! Timmy out of the bullpen was phenomenal. With the way he's doing out of the bullpen, its kinda hard to even want him in a starting role.
Biggest thing tomorrow is Bum, he's been strugglin'. He needs to get out of his funk and get it done.

What hot streak got them in the playoffs?  The 4 game sweep of the Royals at home?  The Tigers were 3 out after Sep 18 with about 15 to play.  They went 11-4 and the White Sox collapsed and went 4-11.  That's why they're in the playoffs.  It's not like they won 9 or 10 in a row to get in.  Chicago fell apart.  If Chicago had played .500 ball they would've won the division.

Hmmm, saying Verlander is the only Tigers pitcher that will win a game in the World Series is seriously discounting the pitching skills of Scherzer, Fister and Sanchez.

The A's didn't provide a challenge to the Tigers?  If memory serves me that series went the full 5 games and the Tigers had to win Game 5 in Oakland.

Hmmm, saying Verlander is the only Tigers pitcher that will win a game in the World Series is seriously discounting the pitching skills of Scherzer, Fister and Sanchez.

Wow.. that's REALLY bad! I like the "betting line" favoring Tigers to win game one.. and in the World Series, the winner of game one wins the whole shebang 63% of the time (though, if the road team wins game one, they wind up winning the series only 57% of the time). Says quite a bit for home-field advantage!

Yeah I agree that Verlander is due for sure.  I tend to like DET in this but rooting interests around these parts definitely favor SF so we'll see.  (Regardless of what happens Indians fans are just going to be bitter and disappointed, obviously).  Some people apparently think DET is a walk over -- Ctoma, check out this ridiculous headline from the Reno sports section today:
 
Giants
 
I think they were trying to make it a "point counterpoint" type analysis but they just lead with this instead, our newspaper is awful.  Or maybe they're trying to jinx the gigantes, who knows.

@j_lucky84 - Good point and I will concede that a rivalry could certainly make you hate a team, but look at the posts in this thread about the Yanks.  They're not coming from Red Sox fans or rival teams, they're coming from people who root for teams that have no rivalry with the Yanks at all.  Even teams in the NL.  
It's the mentality that because they spend money they're evil.  You make a great point that if other teams had the money to spend they would.  Too bad most people don't think like you do and just see the the Evil Empire. ]]> Tue, 23 Oct 2012 12:59:35 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1207773#1207773 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by MathiasMYoure... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1207771#1207771 Author: j_lucky84

I am! Doesn't every sports fan have a right to be bias against someone?! Ichiro's still my fave player, so that's a bit of a double-edged sword. And my hatred is not so to the extent that I won't acknowledge a good play made by the boys in pinstripes, I just like watching other teams beat em. A lot.

The fact that they win is what pisses everyone off.  The Phillies had the 2nd highes payroll, Red Sox the 3rd and Angels the 4th.  Those teams didn't even make the playoffs, but no one talks about how they spend money or try to buy championships.  But since the Yanks are good all the time, that's where the envy comes in.
 


You leave out another huge argument here, RIVALRY. Yes, the Yanks aren't rivals with every team in the league, but with how you worded it, it almost seems as if you try to argue that if anyone hates a team, it must be because they envy em. So what say you, Yank-following folk, about this as it relates to the Red Sox? Surely you hate em, but I wouldn't throw an ounce of envy into that mix.

I wouldn't say I hate the Yanks due to envy. They spend money and get good players. If other teams had that kind of cash flow, they'd do the same, and none of their fans would complain about it. The "Buy a Championship" argument was tossed around a ton by Bosox fans in their reign of insignificance. Then they went n spent a bunch of money, won a couple WS titles, and now beantown couldn't be happier (well.. except for this year.. but there's always the Celts and the Pats).
I really just like a good underdog story, and not many can/would argue that the Yanks have any of those. Because of their huge salary caps, they are expected to win every year. And if you're expected to win, you can't be an underdog.
I do like the point you made about the other teams with big salaries, though. And a couple years ago even the Mariners were in the top 5 of that list (lot of good that did, eh? lol).

I couldn't leave my television until now because I was just so happy and wanted to soak up all the glory that is the giants winning the pennant. As I said before, THIS is the giant's that I was used to at the end of the regular season, hitting well and solid pitching with an added LIGHTS OUT DEFENSE BEHIND THAT PITCHING. Although Posey has fallen off the rest of the guys picked him up. PABLO comin out BIG. Knew scoots was gonna get his hits eventually despite struggling early in the nlds, but I'm diggin pablo coming out swinging in this. Marco is straight BALLIN though.
pitching matchups for world series are a little tough with the timing, looks like zeets is getting the ball against verlander. Hopefully he can bring what he brought in game 5 to the ws table. IM EXCITED FOR MORE ORANGE OCTOBER

techncially, you could also blame the lack of run support lohse got...and a few times SS came up short...and that time they could've clinched an out instead of risking a throw to home plate...

yeah, it added up and stl choked HARD early-game


3 more outs and we make HISTORY.

After all the "DS" games went the full series, it's only fair ONE of the Championship Series games goes the full 7 :). Giants got the monkey off their back of winning at home, and taking 2 games in St. Louis definitely gives them some HUGE momentum coming back to Cali.
I would love to see the game tonight, but I'm broke as $#(*# after this weekend and can't afford to swig a few beers at the bar. Hmm.. ooh! i can go to the gym and watch it :). Stairclimber + baseball = win!

POSSIBLY BECAUSE the tigers basically swept the yankees, whoever ends up playing against them has a CRAP TON of work cut out for them. their pitching and batting have been nothing short of phenomenal lately (at least since the sweep...and the divisionals...)

which is interesting because they'll technically be the underdog against anyone they play considering their seasonal record...on that note, it's going to be EXCEEDINGLY hard not to root for them (unless you're a giants or cards fan)

That was a really respectable (admirable, even?!) outing by Zito. He pitched stellar, provided a bit of his own run support, and through all that was very humble. I don't have a favorite in this series, but it's really nice seeing that. The Giants' bats really showed some urgency (especially after taking advantage of the misthrow). It's still a long way to go to take the series, but at this point, it's one game at a time for both teams. Carpenter vs. Vogelsong should be a heck of a match to watch, especially cuz i could give a shit less about the Cincy-Pitt NFL evening matchup hehe.

Unless they get lucky and can pay him only $90+m to play for someone else.

It's kinda unfair, since they all stunk it up, but still...Hahahahahahaha.  Even though the Tigers knocked the A's out, I'm really hoping they win it all.  Pretty likable team apart from Young.

Sweeeeeeeeep! First time Yanks have been swept in a playoff series since 1980.. AWESOME! The Tigers never trailed in the series.. but that's not exactly a surprise when you hold your opponents to <2 runs a game and a team batting average of .157 (I didn't know they had made 9 clones of Mario Mendoza!) baahaha. That's the second lowest team batting average in an ALCS since the 1969 Twins (.155).
With pitching like that, I'm not sure the winner of the NLCS will stack up too well. Given, the Yanks hit like poo the entire post season, which has not been the case for SF/STL... but that pitching lineup is frightening. The only question is.. will they be able to keep momentum with so much rest before they play again?! I hope so :D

Yeah they gave him a contract that was for too much time, he still has 5 years and 114 million or something like that on his contract.  With that being said it looks like a repeat of Tigers vs St Louis, lets hope for a different outcome. Go Tigers.

even if he didnt they are going to have to eat basically his entire salary so if he doesn't want to leave you just dont play him or send him to triple A which isn't that different than paying his salary by dumping him.

They may not have to pay him. On ESPN.com it says that the Marlins may be interested in trading for him in the off season. How do the Marlins have enough money to pay for all these big contracts, there never seems to be any fans at the games.
 
Because the Yanks would eat a huge portion of the contract, just like Texas did when they traded him to the Yankees.  If the Yankees can trade him, I think they eat at least 80-90 million of his contract.

Pretty sure Mathias was talkin about the yankee game. I was bummed that it was delayed yesterday, but now it'll be on tv while im here at work, so i can turn it on in the breakroom and make some trips over to check the score :)

That's pretty much exactly what the Rangers did when he went to NYY. So let's call it paying it forward :P

Couldn't get a base runner? 9 hits + 5 walks = 14 baserunners... which resulted in 1 run and 11 LOB. That's more a lack of timely hitting than anything else.

Well, the Yankees haven't even bowed out yet, and there is already talk about A-Rod to the Marlins.  He definitely needs to go, but man, they will have to pay a good portion of his salary.  They could end up paying him $100M to not play for them.]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2012 05:09:04 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1206585#1206585 Official 2013 MLB Season : as long as timmy is consistent,... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1206566#1206566 Author: shing02

And giants just go down without a fight... Couldn't even get a baserunner.... 
Not sure if I actually want timmy to start tomorrow. He's been doing so well out of the bullpen. I just hope if he does, he keeps the same mentality he has out of the bullpen and do what he does.

Nothing would please me more than for the Yanks to be swept in the ALCS. Given, it's almost an asterisk sweep with Jeter out of the picture, but it's a sweep nonetheless!

I heard this the other day, but forgot to post it.. Over the off season, the Mariners are going to reposition the fences at Safeco to make it a slightly more hitter-friendly park. 17 feet in left center is a huge difference. I understand they wanted to design Safeco to be a pitcher's ball park, but it's kind of worked against them in that THEY are the ones that play there most the time, and they're unable to get hits either lol.

Why?  Would that ease the pain of how your team collapsed at the end of the season...
 
Yanks problems have been the same all year.  They rely too much on the home run and can't hit with RISP.  I've been saying all year they were going to have problems when they faced better pitching in the playoffs.  Did I expect them to to be this bad, of course not. 
 
They've given up more than 3 runs 1 time this postseason.  With pitching like that they should be dominating.  I can't believe how inept the offense is.

Me too.

It should be a tough game tonight, Sabathia hasn't lost a post-season game since 2009 (or some stat like that).  I'm hoping the Tigers rough him up early which is a tall order since Detroit's bats haven't been exploding lately.

Well, it's not that scary considering the slump the entire Yankees lineup has been in recently.  Verlander's less than best stuff though can of course devastate that kind of a lineup, like he would do to the Astros or some other D- team.  Still though, his post-season resume continues to build as impressive as ever.
 
Yeah, looking forward to see how CC will perform tonight to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Also can't wait to see Cain pitch.  I think he'll be lights out.

+1 to Ibanez, he is a class act and what the broadcasters call a "professional hitter".  Looking at his career stats I didn't realize he bounced around so much:  Seattle, KC, back to Seattle, Philly and now NY.  I just remember him being a Mariner.

He could take Suarez's spot after that dive. Think he'd fit better on Stoke though. Or maybe the New Orleans Saints. Disgusting play.. Scutaro was 3 feet off the bag.

Kind of goofy actually.  Passing a note on a baseball.  That being said, I'm sure it has worked for him several times.  Hell, probably hundreds of times.  He sucks for doing it, though.  He should at least pretend to care about the game.

But That really is pretty appalling. "Hey, im having a shitty day, and playing poorly enough that my team YANKed me [hahahaahahhaha] from the lineup. Rather than being a team player, I'll just go get my d*ck wet.".. Worse yet, is the picture in that article the actual women he was hitting on? Whose basis of "admittedly cute" are they using anyway?

I don't cheer for the Giants, but once again its an injury that plays a serious part in the rest of the season's success. Grabbing a win at home could('ve?) be(en) a serious turning point for SF, but now they're not at 100%. If you're gonna beat a team, beat em by playing better, not by putting their players on the DL.

Did anybody see what A-Rod did with his free time after getting pulled from game 1 in the 9th: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/rod_plays_field_3CyBvCsO66Fugdu1bvXCLP

Kind of goofy actually.  Passing a note on a baseball.  That being said, I'm sure it has worked for him several times.  Hell, probably hundreds of times.  He sucks for doing it, though.  He should at least pretend to care about the game.

Gigantes with a solid all around game. Vogelsong taking it 7 only 1 earned run. He looked sharp. Our offense got the job done.
I personally thought the slide was dirty.... yeah he's not a dirty player and whatever they say he's going hard. I thought he obviously flew over the bag to conveniently hit scutaro's legs. Just my opinion though. Marco still got the job done. I hope he'll make it back in time for game three

you could argue that it's part of the game where pitchers have to "feel out" where the strikes/ball zones are, making a game more dynamic...and a tad unfair...

I don't like the Yankees, but I am sad to see Jeter get hurt.  He's never been more than what he is, and with exception of that last contract fiasco, he doesn't seem to be a total jerk.  He's a rich dude that likes the ladies.  Good on him.
 
It's a shame when an injury takes you down.

OUCH! I hadn't even noticed that. They've outscored opponents handily (16-8) on the road, but are not only losing but getting SPANKED at home (6-20).
STL has outscored opponents 14-7 at home (2 games), and 30-16 on the road (5 games).

Being able to win on the road is imperative (especially as a wildcard/underdog team), but if you can't secure victories at home, it's almost impossible to move on. Which does make it all the more impressive/rare what SF did with Cincy.

LOL that's pretty funny. I was shocked the Yanks left CC in for the 9th. I understand it's kind of making a statement, but I figured they'd throw in a fresh arm and just finish it off. The O's made it super interesting in the 8th yesterday.. but just came up short. I really hope SHowalter can improve upon what he's built next season :).

And holy cow what a collapse by WAS yesterday! It sucks they had to go that series without Strasburg; hopefully he'll be back to healthy next year and make another run at it. SOme of the best playoff baseball ive seen in some time. I may not have liked all the outcomes, but it definitely makes me crave more!

When all 4 series go the distance that makes for some great drama-filled baseball.  Selig must be loving it.  Jim Leyland vs Joe Girardi and Bruce Bochy vs. Mike Matheny.  With the exception of Matheny (newbie), those are some very very very talented managers with past successes and I'm not surprised to see them succeed again.  It goes to show how valuable a great manager is.
I for one am glad to see MLB popularity at a high level.  Even with the pitching-dominance of the last few years.  Chicks still dig the long ball though.

I wonder if the Nats are regretting their decision to sit Strasburg now?  Considering how tight the series was you have to figure they probably go through if he pitched.

subtract the yankees and yes. DEFINITELY one of the best division series in awhile...

now we have the world series champs of 2011 vs 2010 
and the 2009 WS champs vs a bunch of no names/detroit (they haven't won in awhile but i wish the best for them in the ALCS)

oh man, this is heating up quite nicely...

It's been a great playoffs so far. Every series went to an elimination game, walkoffs, extra innings, comebacks. It was a punch in the nuts when the A's lost but they gave the fans an amazing ride down the stretch and you have to tip your cap and acknowledge Verlander is just really good.

Hope the LCS games are just as good. ]]> Sat, 13 Oct 2012 00:18:25 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1205547#1205547 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by cheemaster^^... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1205545#1205545 Author: screwyvarmint

I don't remember it ever happening that every division series went 5 games.  Impressive and a bit sad for the losers, as they all came so close.  My A's for example really should have had game 2 and not had to face Verlander a second time.

Did you guys know the CC in CC Sabathia stands for Carsten Charles?  I always thought it was Captain Clutch.  Awesome game by him.
 
I have to give it up to Baltimore, they made me miserable for the last month of the season and then almost knocked the Yanks out.  Showalter did an amazing job with that team.  Neither team hit for anything during the series, but at least I can say...Bring on the Tigers!!

I like it! Jim Palmer's baseball card was the first one i ever got.. and i still have it. Pretty sure it aint worth shit (its a very common card), but its nostalgic nonetheless.

While I won't root against Ibanez as a person, I hope the Yanks fall, too. Bal and Oakland have had phenomenal seasons, and Oakland is done.. Which means BAL is the only underdog story worth cheering for in this beast! Even in the WC slot, STL doesn't count as an underdog. Hell, I think of WAS as more of an underdog than the other way around!

LOL. I was doing the same thing when the O's held off the Yanks last night. Embarrassed the hell out of my GF.. but oh well. lol. Game 5 starts at 2 pm PT today; I leave work at 4, so i'll see if i cant rush to the bar to catch the last couple innings. Facing CC isn't a hell of a lot better than facing Verlander, but Baltimore pitching has kept em in some real close games so far. Hammel had a reg season SO/BB ratio of 113/42, but in his one post season appearance, was 5/4. Walks will kill you in games like this, ESPECIALLY games at Yankee Stadium. If he can keep his walks to a minimum, the O's will have a good shot. GO ORIOLLLLLES!

Also, a nice comeback by the Giants. Posey is a beast! Should be interesting to see who their opponent will be.


I'm about the umpteenth person to agree with this one, facing Verlander in a game 5 is a real difficult way to try to extend your stay in the playoffs. But a LOT of credit should be given to Oakland for making September/October baseball so damn fun to watch. I'll still enjoy watching Detroit match up against the winner of tonight's game, but it almost seems like a bit of the playoff magic has been lost with the A's no longer in it.

I don't think it's just our team where fans have anxiety over the closer spot. I would bet it's a pretty common syndrome. I mean really look at the MLB and see how many teams have true, solidified closers, with longevity at the spot. I would say relatively few.

The biggest disappointment in the series thus far has been the lack of offense (as you have pointed out).  The Tigers have gone through several offensive droughts this season, something you do not expect from a lineup that features Cabrera, Fielder and Jackson.  The thing a lot of fans forget is Peralta and Avila had career years last season, it would have been difficult for them to repeat the offensive output this season.  Still, Peralta is hitting .239 and Avila is at .243, both down significantly from last season.  Also LF and RF have been a revolving door of different players this season, with no one taking advantage of the opportunity and locking down the job.  True, Dirks started hot but was injured and missed June and July.  Boesch played himself out of Detroit, I don't expect him back next season.  Delmon Young doesn't generate enough offense and is a defensive liability, I expect him to be gone next season, too, especially with super-DH Victor Martinez returning.

With Verlander on the mound there's always a chance the Tigers will lose 1-0 or 2-1 despite Verlander throwing a good game.  The offense needs a kick in the ass.

Signed,
Truly Frustrated Tigers Fan

now verlander can't pitch in game 1 of ALCS because he has to pitch game 5 today. that's going to hurt them in the next round, if they make it...


Disagree. Starting pitching is not what is going to hurt Detroit, doesn't matter who is on the hill that night, all 4 guys have the stuff to get things done with efficiency. What is hurting The Tigers is the offense plain and simple. Runs need to be scored to support the pitching staff.  The bats must come alive!

As for Valverde, well, he left some pitches up last night and got smacked around. It happens to the everyone. He really needs to start using that nasty splitter again that was so effective last season. Since he has gone away from that hitters can pretty much sit fastball and wait for their pitch, or a hanging slider. The sting of last nights game hurt, but i'm ok with a closer who is somewhere around 80 of 90 save attempts in the last 2 seasons.

Also, in last nights game, i'm not sure why with the winning run on 2nd and 1 out you would not int-walk the next hitter so that the double play is in order. A base hit wins the game pretty much regardless at that point and an infield grounder gets the double play and ends the inning.

Totally agree, Von. I'm 100% pulling for the O's in this series (and assuming they move on, in the next few series as well). Having Ibanez tie/win the game is just a silver medal for the day lol.
And yes, after seeing the Yanks win, i had to go wash the dirty feeling off me anyway lol.

I'll start this post with an emphatic "G-D YANKEES!" I was at the gym yesterday while the game was on, and was able to catch the first 5 innings while doing treadmill/stairs n stuff... but didnt catch the end of the game. On my way out I saw that SOMEONE hit a homerun to tie it up in the 9th (my heart said "let it be Ichiro!"... but I suppose another former Mariner will suffice, hehe). Got home and watched the interactive MLB web-cast thing.. Was sweaty as hell but decided to forgo showering til it was over haha. There was a bit of lag in bottom of the 12th.. and it went from "2-2" to "2-3 final", and once again i didn't see who hit the homer... showered then looked it up later n saw that Ibanez had hit both and was like "that's fookin awesome". Well done Raul, you've earned it :). And doing it after PayRod went 0-3 with 2 K's makes me even happier.

I agree, you would think they want to maximize revenue any way they can.  At the same time, I love it because the A's ranked 27 out of 30 for home attendance.  They're pretty much saying no thanks to the front runners and bandwagon/fairweather fans who are showing up.


Ownership is trying to prove that they need to be allowed to move to San Jose and this is all showing that the East Bay still wants to love the A's, they just want a new ownership to step in.  I'm heading to the game tonight and I hope I'll be repeating the trek there tomorrow evening!

I agree, you would think they want to maximize revenue any way they can.  At the same time, I love it because the A's ranked 27 out of 30 for home attendance.  They're pretty much saying no thanks to the front runners and bandwagon/fairweather fans who are showing up.

I'm with ya Tim! (I'm quoting you a lot today lol).. I don't believe i've even watched one of the games in this series yet, but seeing Cal Jr. make an appearance during the wildcard game, i was swooning. Cal was/is a tank, and one of the most respectable players in the history of the game. Seeing him excited about his old squad was really nice to see. That.. and their batting helmets just kick ass!

I know i already commented on the OAK/DET game from last night, but it was the first of the playoff games i've been able to watch. While i wouldn't say the team as a whole stood out, Oakland's pitching really had a defining performance last night. Detroit hasn't been shut out since August 29. Really impressive.

Reds wasted quite a performance from Homer Bailey.  But they still have two more chances to close it out, so hopefully they get it done.  SF sucks.

I sure hope so, since I have tickets for the rest this series and now for the first 3 home games of a possible ALCS.  Would be nice if they got rid of the tarps for that.  No doubt in my mind that they can fill those extra 9,000 seats.

Contrastly, this seems a bit preeminent, as it wasn't like they DOMINATED the game at home. That said, the homerun hit by Seth Smith may have been one of the prettiest lefty swings I've seen in a while. Given, most lefties have nice lookin swings, but that one was just gorgeous. Anyhoo, well done in the win tonight, Oakland. It sucks only one of these teams can make the ALCS, as they both have that underdog mentality.

I would have loved to have tuned in, but 1)I don't have cable, 2) my mlb.com subscription limits me solely to regular season live games, and 3)the Postseason.TV option is a load. An extra 6 bucks to watch playoff games live, AND it's only for ALDS, NLDS and ALCS (i.e. No NLCS or World Series).. worthless!
I suppose I'll just have to watch delayed broadcasts of games whose outcome i like.. less disappointment i guess lol.

Sunday was a big goof up. I wouldnt blame Coco, he covers so much space in center, and I doubt anyone else would have even gotten near the ball except for him.

Well said! Strike outs, arguing with strike calls, and all the rest of that crap occurs a lot more regularly than a playoff win does. Especially for the Tigers, who haven't been a playoff contender (and a contender up 2 games to naught, nonetheless) in some time, so it's totally reasonable to show a little emotion when closing out the game. Though, I'll say that had that throw to first been an error, this would be an entirely different discussion. lol

Watching Timmy pitch could make you think he should've gotten a start, but hopefully vogelsong can give us at least some sort of life in cincy. I just hope he can elevate his game and put up one of those quality starts that I was so used to watching earlier in the year from him.

Cincy scored early, and pretty regularly. Home field advantage is kind of negated when the crowd is taken out of the game so quick. I think they were shocked as how well the Reds play ball. Looking forward to seein the rest of this series.

I can't imagine Donny baseball is going anywhere.  The organization likes him, and as far as I know the players like him.

You are probably right...every likes him because he is a class act but I think the jury is still out on his managerial skills.  In the game they lost to the Giants that cinched it for St. Louis he walked Angel Pagan to get to Scutaro with two outs.  Scutaro was the hottest hitter in baseball practically...batting 360 since coming to the Giants and hitting well over 400 with runners in scoring position.  I cant imagine why you would put another runner on base to face that hitter in a close game.  Of course Scutaro doubles in two runs (one of which was a free pass) and the Dodgers lose by 1 run.  That was a really bad decision in my view by all accounts.  There were a lot of head scratching decisions he made and guys like Karros called him out on more than one occassion...as well as the ex manager Kennedy who does Dodgers post game.

... we shall see.

I'm still confused about this "infield fly" rule from the Braves/Cards game. I just know that it's there to protect the runners so they don't get caught in a dp.

Your post-season predictions didn't quite pan out, Lightning. The O's beat Texas. I'm bummed that i missed the games, cuz i thought they didnt start til tomorrow for whatever reason. Really hope the Os can keep it up and take NYY out.

That infield fly call in the ATL/STL game was a bit bogus. Even if someone was around the ball when it hit, from that depth it would have been nearly impossible to double anyone up. You sure they didn't sub in some of the recently let go NFL refs to come ump this thing? lol

So the big question is did Josh Hamilton cost them the division with his drop when it was 5-5?  They ended up getting smoked, but maybe none of it happens if he just catches the ball.  Pretty big difference between wild card in previous years and wild card this year.  Anything can happen in a 1-game playoff.

And also, what's the deal with the format?  The team with the worst record is home for games 1-2, and then the next 3 are at the team with the best record?  That could backfire, but I guess it reduces travel.

^ Nice, thanks robnezz.

I'm happy to see the Tigers have the crappiest record of non-wild card teams, makes them a bit of an underdog.

Love seeing Washington and Cincinnati with the 2 best NL records (tired of Atlanta, SF, and St. Louis).

So, in my perfect world, in the AL the O's knock out the Rangers and then the Yankees, Tigers knock off the A's.  ALCS, Tigers take out the O's in a tight 7 game series.

Reds and Sens advance to the NLCS (do not care about the wild card game), with the Reds and Votto (beast) advancing to the WS.

World Series:  Tigers win in 6.

We all WANTED it to happen, but to see it coming might be a bit overstated. It really would only take one or two 0-fer games for the batting average lead to be ceded (hence being pulled after going 0-2 yesterday). Nonetheless, I'm glad he completed it.. that is really a monumental achievement, especially in these recent years where pitchers have been in the limelight. 45 years is a long time coming, and it couldn't have happened to a cooler guy. It was also nice to see Yastrzemski pass the proverbial torch with a statement.]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2012 08:46:52 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1203727#1203727 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by Von44Congrats... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1203709#1203709 Author: ctoma

Hoping that game's on a regular cable channel so i can watch it while at the gym tonight! That's crazy intense! If its not, I'll have to adjust my gym schedule and watch it on mlb.tv when i get home... after my golf round. Damn, today's lookin busy.

WAS and CIN are all tied up for complete home-field advantage. The Nats host the Phillies tonight, and the Reds wrap up their stay in St. Louis. Since the Washington/Philly game will be wrapped up long before Cincy plays, they'll know whether they're playing for the tie or the win. Should be some interesting ball to watch, too.

The Yanks game starts ever so slightly before the Orioles play, so the O's might have a chance to glance up at the scoreboard to see whether they can tie up the AL East. Assuming the O's tie it up, the tie breaker would be played in Baltimore. Tiebreaker rules start with head-to-head records, which is split at 9-9; then it's determined by intra-divisional records, where Baltimore holds a 3-game advantage. If Baltimore loses tonight, they will have the same record as the loser of the OAK/TEX game. By Tiebreaker standards, Baltimore would be the away team in either of those situations (Orioles are 2-5 on the season against TEX, and 4-5 against OAK).

He has another 2 RBI's and he is 2 for 2 on the night.  The only way he loses is if Hamilton goes yard, RBI and batting average are locked up.

I feel like he's gonna do it. And despite Mike Trout being a pretty damn good candidate for the MVP, I think if Cabrera gets the triple crown, he's gotta win mvp.

On the other side, Posey killin it right and Andrew got an 0 for tonight. Looks like Posey's got the batting title and to me the mvp.

^ I didn't see the A's celebrate specifically, but have seen highlights of a few of the other teams making the playoffs jumping around after the game in a big group, then putting the goggles on for the champagne spraying in the locker room afterwards. What exactly did the A's do to go beyond that?

Good on them if you ask me, they deserve to celebrate and let off a little steam after making the playoffs in a long ass season.

Ask and you shall receive! even goes up to 4-team tiebreakers, if that tickles your fancy!
---MLB Playoff Tiebreaker Rules--- The "complicated system" link within that article goes to an mlb page that breaks it down very explicitly, but that will give you the gist.

Lol, was wondering when someone was gonna make that reference. That was a pretty decent flick! My gf's not too much into baseball, but even she found that she enjoyed it :).

And I meant to throw this in there earlier, but forgot... I wish Felix had been able to finish his season with a win. We all know the Ms have been out of the running for some time, but his stellar performances made this season (and the last few failures of seasons) fun to watch. But once again, Trout was a BEAST! It sucks we won't be able to see him in the playoffs, either! :(

I would assume it would be a 1-game playoff to decide the 2nd wild card team, followed by the 1-game playoff between the wild card teams.  Lots of baseball before the NLDS if that happens, but LA has a lot of work to do, and STL only needs one win or on LA loss.


Correct, if 2 teams are tied for the wildcard spot, they would play each other to determine who earns it. Home field advantage for the game is determined by:

1. Head-to-head winning percentage during the 2012 regular season.
2. Higher winning percentage in intradivision games.
3. Higher winning percentage in the last half of intraleague games.
4. Higher winning percentage in the last half plus one intraleague game, provided that such additional game was not between the two tied clubs. Continue to go back one intraleague game at a time until the tie has been broken.

There's another essay of a post in what happens if 3 teams are tied, but I'll just bypass that for now.

@fj5 - Injuries killed the Jays this season! Yeah there's plenty of talent but also lacks depth. The 2 WS champs roster had numerous vets that could step in when needed. I mean they had Paul Molitor in the OF, pushing Carter to 1B and benched Olerud when it came to the NL games. Compared to calling up a bunch of rookies who are nowhere near ready to step in.

If the A's sweep the Rangers, they'll probably get home field throughout the playoffs (except for the WS...because of the stupid All-Star game), but, I don't see that happening. I think the Rangers will take 2 of 3. Which means the A's will get in (they just need 1 win to get in) and play in the wild card game against either the Yankees or the Orioles.

Tigers' magic number is 1 (1 Tigers' win or 1 White Sox loss and the Tigers win the Central Division).  I would like to thank the White Sox for tanking the past couple weeks, losing 10 of the last 12 games, they had a chance to run away with it and collapse instead.

So it looks like it will be NY and Baltimore out of the East, Detroit from the Central and Texas and Oakland from the West.

Dodgers are finally winning games again, but they basically need a miracle to sneak into the playoffs.  2 GB with 3 to go is a big hole, but stranger things have happened.

Now if they were chasing the Mets for the final playoff spot, I would be beyond optimistic, but the Cardinals are a different story.

At this point, they're not going to get homefield advantage, so the top priority is not to let anyone get hurt or wear themselves out too much before the playoffs.

they should rest everyone against the dodgers Wink

no, we should let the dodgers win so that they have a wild card chance...so we, or someone else, can put them down when it matters Wink

on that note, wouldn't it be funny if the red sox SWEEP the yankees and prevent them from getting a shot at the playoffs OR the wildcard?LOL
the next 3-4 days are gonna be PRETTY interesting...ESPECIALLY if LAA wins tonight's game!

I really like when it's the guys you wouldn't expect... kinda like Buehrle did a couple years back. Nevertheless it's a nice way to put a stamp on an excellent season by Cincy.

Was looking at standings, and noticed Seattle is 2 games under .500 for their home record... Wish they could atleast hit a .500 mark before the end of the season... then i looked at their schedule... and it's not gonna happen lol..

Meanwhile, my A's are doing what they need to against the Mariners.  Angels winning makes the AL West even crazier tho.

It just matters to some people. I don't really care cuz I heard that a lot if players juice. I think Bonds belongs in the hall of fame cuz in the steroid era, he was the best cheater.
 
There, fixed.
Whatever.  Barry Bonds was amazing.  I say that and I hated him because he played for SF.  Baseball is full of cheaters.  How many hall of fame pitchers do you think doctored the ball?  Ty Cobb sharpened his spikes and tried to injure people.  Who cares as long as it's fun to watch?

It's still possible that Baltimore will falter against Boston and Tampa and then we'd have the first time three AL West teams making the post-season.  The A's will be better off then since they'll only need four starters and Blackley wouldn't be able to ruin them again.]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2012 01:12:48 +0000 http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1202592#1202592 Official 2013 MLB Season : Originally posted by lightning80^... http://www.trusnow.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51348&PID=1202527#1202527 Author: twolf123

the A's almost came back in that 8th ;D...yeah, that 1st inning PRETTY MUCH killed it for them and they're both basically back where they started...still a hell of a game though!
