You're not one of them in any way as a great baseball fan! Although, I don't like the Wilpon's and don't do things right for the team. Hopefully, a new GM will help. But will depend what he's allowed to do. May be an obstacle in getting a great GM. I'm sad as no more D-Wright. Great send off they gave him on Friday. Very classy by the Mets and himself. Will be there when his number is retired and should be next summer. Too bad with the back problems as he was injury free until nearly 30. Has same condition that Mattingly had. So sad!

Both teams can kill the ball and the pitchers in the NL series are better. I am backing the Dodgers and my boy Machado. Though the Brewers are red hot. Won 11 in a row counting regular season and took the division from the Cubbies on the final day. Unreal. Hats off to the Brewers, and Schoop, Manny's good friend from my team that is dismantled.

Strider Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've seen too many Yankee-Red Sox series to declare this one over just because the Red Sox spanked the Yankees 14-1 tonight. Ooops...it was 16-1. Too bad the Red Sox couldn't save some of those runs...they might need them tonight. I remember when it looked over for the Red Sox after a thumping by the Yankees in Game 3 in 2004. The Yankees never won another game. The Yankees have the dangerous lineup to turn this series around in a hurry. And Boston still has the problem of what to do with David Price, who continues to meltdown in the playoffs.

Strider Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Sorry Chuck. Boston was just too much for the Yankees. The question now is can Boston bash their way past Verlander and Cole and the Houston pitching? They're gonna get Verlander at least twice in the ALCS.

Slugfest that Boston wins Houston will have to face Sale twice at least. Price twice. I believe Boston has an edge in pitching. Hitting is about equal, bout are dynamic. The Dodgers have an equal amount of both. Milwaukee is scary no doubt. But I just think the Dodgers have a few more things going for them. Dodgers in 6 or 7 and Boston in 7. Dodgers in 7 to win the series on the back of Machado and Bellinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Boston has an edge in pitching. Hitting is about equal, bout are dynamic. David Price?!? That's what you are hanging your hat on? 😮 Have you watched David Price in the playoffs? His teams are winless in games in which he starts. 0-9 for his career in the playoffs. His only win came as a reliever. Boston is even thinking of using Price out of the bullpen instead of starting him because of his history of meltdowns. And Chris Sale's velocity on his fastball is down so he isn't 100%, either. That's why I don't buy your theory of Boston's pitching being better than Houston. No way are Sale and Price better than Verlander and Cole, even if Sale and Price were 100%. Boston slugged a lot of runs against the Yankees and it is easy to get caught up in that thunder. But pitching and defense wins championships. Houston proved that again last year. So, I am not as convinced as you that Boston can just bash their way past Houston. They are going to need their pitching staff to step up at some point.

kingzoso Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Clayton Kershaw is, in my opinion, the most overrated pitcher of alll-time. Being a Saint Louis Cardinals fan, I cannot believe that I am rooting for the Milwaukee Brewers. I so dislike the Los Angeles Dodgers that I have no choice to want to see the Brewers beat the Dodgers. Since I was born in Galveston, Texas in 1970 and I grew up in Houston, the Astros are My second favorite team. My Baseball loyalties are strong. Even though I am a die-hard Cardinals fan, I am also a die-hard Houston Astros fan. It really does not matter to me who wins the NLCS, the Houston Astros are going to be the World Series Champions for 2 years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
