July 28, 20196 yr jose ramirez was one of the worst hitters in baseball during his wife's pregnancy, and the tribe was awful with a scuffling lineup. since his child was born: 36 G 46 H 12 2B 10 HR 34 RBI 6 SB 12 BB 10 K 1.003 OPS Indians record: 28-7 Trevor Bauer aside, the return of Clevenger and the return of Jose's bar has the Tribe looking pretty damn good.

July 28, 20196 yr The best part is the 2nd baseman flinching away when Bauer starts his crow hop to throw the ball out to center.

July 28, 20196 yr Lol I kept hearing the blue jays were asking for a lot more than anyone was willing to give up, so I’m curious to know what the Mets, a team that should be selling, had to give up...

July 28, 20196 yr Maybe the Mets are trying to set up a bidding war for Wheeler and Thor? Minor and maybe Ray (if he’s available) are the only other good pitchers available. They don’t actually think they can contend? Edited July 28, 20196 yr by TheFlagship
July 28, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, tx 3 putt said: maybe they're going to flip stroman ?? I was thinking the exact same thing. It all depends on what they actually had to give up, but that would actually make sense.
July 28, 20196 yr mets get stroman. padres get thor. neither makes playoffs. sounds about right. sf is also convinced they're in it, so those guys may also stay put.
July 28, 20196 yr Mets trying to corner the market to drive up the price on all their pitchers? Are the Hunt brothers involved?

July 29, 20196 yr It was a predictable outcome. You didn’t have to watch the AB to know how that situation was going to play out. We’re just trying to keep y’all in the wild card hunt long enough to give you hope, because Cleveland v Boston seems inevitable at this point.
July 29, 20196 yr Honestly I expect the Tribe to catch the Twins so I think the AL Wild Cards will go Boston & Minnesota but yeah I think Oakland and Tampa will be on the outside looking in.

As a person who loathes the Red Sox with every fiber of my being, I'm ok with any situation where they're iced out. I just hope we don't waste our time with the Matts. And we do tend to improve as the season goes on.
July 29, 20196 yr Lol so fucking badass... https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27276590/upset-pitcher-bauer-throws-ball-cf-fence?platform=amp Trevor Bauer pulled by manager, didn't like it, flung the ball over the centerfield fence from the mound. Edited July 29, 20196 yr by phdhorn

July 29, 20196 yr So Ian Kennedy has 20 saves? With his 20-win season back in 2011 (?), that makes him the 8th pitcher with a 20-save season and a 20-win season. Recent pitchers: Smoltz, Eck, and Derek Lowe.

Well we do to some extent but still not sure we would melt down and throw a HR. Speaking of old wounds it is remarkable how badly Hinch goat fucked the Astros in the 2015 ALDS because he pulled McCullers too soon. He repeated the exact same fuckup in the 2017 ALCS too but thankfully that one didn't cost the team the series. 2015 ALDS Game 4: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/HOU/HOU201510120.shtml Highest expected win % of 98% in bottom of the 7th inning. McCullers gets the leadoff out in the 7th but then proceeds to hit Salvador Perez which triggers Hinch to panic and puts in Will Harris who had been amazing all year but was starting to wear down having blown up game 2 already. He gets out of the inning but then in the 8th inning he proceeds to give up 4 straight hits. Hinch brings in Sipp who lets all 3 of the inherited runners in because of the Correa error. This all of course happened after Abbot's infamous tweet congratulating the Astros on getting to the ALCS. 2017 ALCS Game 5: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA201710170.shtml Highest expected win % of 94% in top of the 7th inning. McCullers gives up a leadoff HR to Judge in the bottom of the 7th and Hinch panics and pulls him to put in Devo who gives up a triple to Gregorius immediately then Didi scores on a sacrifice but Devo gets through the rest of the inning unscathed. Joe Musgrove came in and gave up back to back singles then Giles was brought in to try and cleanup the mess even though he had proven he was horrible outside of the clean save situation all year and it went predictably horrible from there.

At about 2:30, I checked scores on my phone for the last time and the Astros led 6-2. By the time the Astros' game was over, the Rangers were down something like 7-0.

Yeah most definitely we really should have had an all TX ALCS in 2015 with the Rangers going up 2-0 after the first two games in Toronto and the Astros should have been up 2-0 against KC but blew game 2. They recovered and had it all but wrapped up until Hinch melted the bullpen down in game 4. Can you imagine how much vitriol would have been spewed had that come to fruition? With as badly as the Rangers had the Astros number in 2015 it likely would have resulted in the Rangers in the World Series.

July 29, 20196 yr Surely the Mets are going to package Thor and stroman for a giant haul. Otherwise, I don’t get it.
