Easy win over the barves tonight.

Wildcard #2 is all but ours at this point desu.

>Miami about to shut down Jose Fernandez

O I AM LAFFIN

Indians desu

Post yfw the Eries is a Subway Series

...

Can someone post the John Oliver Even Year picture?

Injuns to be honest

'no'

That would be fucking incredible under the circumstances
>both wildcard teams are new York
>mest win despite TJS/TJS/bonespur/fat
>yankees sold 1/2 the team and still won

Even Hahn knows the situation is dour

One of us one of us

Literally disband MLB

remember a month or two ago we were arguing with each other who was the bigger dumpster fire?

Now both are hot as fuck. new york baseball is back baby.

>Blue Jays vs Red Sox
>Tigers vs Orioles
>Cubs vs Astros
>Kershaw vs Fernandez
>Bumgarner

Both fanbases are in disbelief. Mets winning like .750 their last 20, and Yankees just winning 2 of 3. And every night things are going exactly their way. 15th anniversary 9/11 illuminati confirmed.

>w-we'll get em this time, you'll see

O's

Do you have the day off m8?
Anyone ITT going to make the most of these matchups? AND qtball?

le bandwagon faggit

b..but your pitching user

tpbp

Thanks for making me throw up

>mfw donny takes revenge and sweeps us

Just let the sox take the AL East, we won't choke in the playoffs like the Orioles and blue jays always do

even the rays made the WS recently, step up niggas

Literal wetback

What about it...

>Implying

here's your >(You)

Harvey, Wheeler and Matz are out. deGrom in limbo. Montero, Gsellman and Lugo can't and won't step up to fill any those shoes. gl pal

Thumbnail literally looks like a money shot

Which is likely from the Cardinals in the NLDS

You don't think Syndergaard and deGrom can carry them in the playoffs? Everyone else has been pitching fine

Wheeler was never in. Harvey went 4-10 with an ERA hovering 5. Matz was a bit of a hit. Thor is still top 5 in ERA. deGrom just needs a skipped start. Colon efficient as fuck. Lugo and Gazelle man have filled in nicely, but pretty sure they get no postseason looks unless one of the three go down.

Two good pitchers just aren't enough
The Dodgers proved that last year

>mfw sweep the gloryholes and assume WC control

qt

Had an 8am class and I'm done until Monday :)

Not bad. You got a whole weekend of Post-matters ball to soak in. You lucky fuck.

>Tilly v Dandy V on Sunday
>Injured Tillman is a better shot than Wade Miley

At any rate, it should be a good duel if Chris is healed up by now.
Fulmer and ZimZam are gonna be tough, even with Gaus and Baldy in crunch mode.

Why hasn't Clint Frazier been called up yet? I'd like to see that Ginga

>losing to the whos

How do you expect to beat the O's?

We are coming for you Gnats

>yfw the Mest win the WC game and go on to sweep the Cubs AGAIN

the Os are coming in 4th in the al east

And the White Sox are 4th in your division.

the who?

3 straight complete games by 3 SP's

fulmer has looked mortal lately. 60% chance zim is not 100% and will give it away. but daddy V will pitch 8 innings and win on sunday

@71071084
I know this is a meme, but the Yanks won't surge beyond spoiling enough for this. Even as inbred as this last month is for the ALE.
Go ahead, NOHS cap this

I want to have lunch with Kelly Nash and discuss sabermetrics.

Yankees are winning it all m80

why is a curveball called a uncle charlie?

Because Uncle Charlie is an alcoholic

On a scale of 1 to Daddy Greinke, how afraid is the rest of the NL now that the Mets are back in the playoffs? Be honest.

DUBS CONFIRM

>winning 4th place in the AL East
>celebration-worthy
pick one

0 because memes told me their pitching staff are all injured

post your least favorite non-player, non-manager person in baseball
hardmode: not from your team or a rival team

If they were to call up a AAA outfielder right now, wouldn't it be Mason Williams instead?

the nationals color guy

Joe Buck. It was hard enough to watch my Mets lose the WS, but not having GKR made it hurt. That time FOX lost audio and had to broadcast with Matt Vasgersian for those innings was hilarious

NANDATO?!?

>PECOTA thought the Rays would be competitive
is this a photoshop?

excellent choice. he's probably the most unanimously hated commentator in baseball

It's going to be close, though slightly in your favor because we're on the road.
Best man win, lad.

Vin Scully.

If MLB Network counts, Greg.

>he's probably the most unanimously hated commentator in baseball
Hawk harrelson, should have retired a decade ago

Hawk is only good for watching the Sox get walked off
fuck off

difference is he's not known to a national audience

oh shit totally forgot about Hawk, yeah he is leagues (hue hue) above Buck in being annoying and boring

I also forgot Dan Shaughnessy. fuckin Carrot-Top contrarian muthafucka

People who still like Vin Scully are just being hipsters. Maybe he was good 15 or 20 years ago when he had some life left, but now he's just a senile old man rambling into his mic for 3 hours. It's like visiting your grandpa and having to hear him mumble through the same 3 stories he always tells all afternoon.

this bth

>rasy winning ALE
>twinks not last in ALC
> >rags not winning ALW
they pretty much got that one right though except for putting the Rags in 3rd
and they actually kinda nailed the standings for the NL.

so let's see how they've done on standings so far

>ALE
1/5

>ALC
1/5

>ALW
2/5

>NLE
1/5

>NLC
5/5

>NLW
3/5

>Total
13/30

ouch

>the nl is a predictable babby league confirmed
kek

I'd actually give the NLE 3/5 because both the Barves and Fillies are awful enough to be interchangeable.

>Mfw

fuck
off
the Nats, Red Sox, Jays and O's would literally have to throw the rest of the season.

post yfw the Eries is Red Sox vs. Cubs

whoops, Indians vs. Cubs. The Curseds Eries

>I believed the Mets weren't making the postseason

>cubs
>world series
There's that ottoman humor again

oh god, another trip to filter?

>whos butthurt
Shouldn't you be getting shot?

Wild cards were a mistake

Yankees will win the world series over the Giants

No amount of shitposting will make it true

The playoffs were a mistake. Divisions were a mistake. Every team in each league should be in one division, highest record in the NL and AL play in the World Series, like they did back in the day. That is pure baseball. The playoffs are just a cash grab.

I don't hate Vin Scully, but I do hate the people who circlejerk him to death and deny that he has flaws, people like this guy They make me hate him a little bit. Plus Dodgers

>whos
Lol not a whos fan

You will see. You will all see.

So did you faggot

>whos
>fans

So what? More money for the teams and players is good

Holy dicks i would love a Yanks/Jints WS rematch

>accuse me of being an art fan
>backtrack when proven wrong saying that whos don't have fans to begin with
ok than lol

cusb logic is its own art

Marlins color man. He's insanely biased to the Marlins and he fucken shouts into the mic when something he doesn't like happens. He takes effort to listen to.

It truly is. They still blame bartman 13 years later

seconding He's "muh daddy's" team bias and is the human form of Fox/ESPN baseball explaining and stat shouting. Retarded and just spews key-words for ratings and hype.

But king of them all:
>This time it's really our year guys!
