this zack duke guy looks like a younger Matheny.

W

one more to go and we never have to hear about 2004 again!

zach duke was a cub killer when he started out with pittsburgh. he had like a 4+ ERA against the rest of the league, and under 2 ERA against the Cubs.

Unfulfilled promise here. Many wanted him to be the next thing.

20 games over .500 , first time all year. Looking pretty good, who will our first round matchup be?

_________________

Washington.

Probably gotta beat Scherzer at least once to advance. Which is doable.

They definitely have the better pitching,Strasburg has even managed to stay healthy for this post season. I think Turner might swipe 5 bags on Lester. Just banking on Dusty fucking up.

_________________

Yea, Nats are really good. Hopefully their newfound steady bullpen doesnt last.

Because they probably have the better rotation and lineup. They have 4 guys who could make a case for MVP or at least be in the discussion.

I expect to be 3 and done vs the Nationals. I'm just happy this team at least gets the chance to defend it's crown.

Harper won't be 100% . That's huge .

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Eaton may return as well.

It is.

But I think it will just come down to whether or not Max and Strasburg can dominate.

I do think being the road team in a 5 game series gives you a little bit of advantage regarding pressure. As the home team you almost HAVE to win both games and Washington also has that "never get out of the first round" thing on their back.


Hopefully if they win they get ROUND 2 or LCS PARTICIPANT T shirts like the loser ass Wizards did when they finally made it

Cleveland will take the crown. Can't really see anyone beating them 4/7 times. But it's the Playoffs. you get in, and roll the dice.

I was sure Boston would beat them last year. Thinking Red Sox might flip the tables on them this year if they meet.

Boston and Toronto were on fire last year til Cleveland met em. I like Cleveland to win but Houston and Boston are great too, if Price doesn't wet the bed, they won't lose. I have no doubt in Sale.

_________________

I think they're going to use Price as the long relief guy. I think he'll thrive there.

The Tribe own Sale.

Sale is a crazy person. He'll fold under the pressure of playoffs just like Price

Yeah Price is a proven wet the bed in the playoffs pussy.

Except when he was a long reliever for TB as a rookie.


Which is the role he'll be in this year. Could see him going on an Andrew Miller type run

Someday you will grow a pair of testicles and then maybe, you will have some self confidence in yourself and your sports teams.

I expect it to be a 3 game series with the Nationals, too. Except the Cubs sweep and wait for the Dbacks to beat the Dodgers.

That would be a major board breakthrough.

Fucking Freeman lost this game.

Happ looking smooth in CF

A bum on his 4th team this season. Brought in when Russell was DL'd and Baez had an injury scare.
