The boys of summer! (Baseball Thread)

Braves clinch back to back NL East titles. This team has the makings of a potentially special one. Braves gonna be good for a long time.

Pete Alonso hit his 50th bomb.

Clayton Kershaw continues to give up bomb & Kenley Jansen continues to blow saves.

They did in good fashion. Folty pitched a gem. With Acuna and Albies locked up for a little while this team should be fun to watch. And if they resign Donaldson move Acuna to right and Riley in left man this team will have some fire power.

A Cardinals WS is second best in my world... and that's better than the other recent shit shows we've seen. Hopefully they go all the way.

I think i'd rather lose a nut.

The only team I'd rather see win the WS less than the Cardinals are the Dodgers.

Agreed on the Dodgers at least

Yay!

Boo!

 

[ickythump1225]

I just hate the Cardinals. It's like that franchise was born with a horseshoe up their ass or something. I think hatred of the Dodgers needs no explanation.

If the Braves can't win it all I'd like to see the Twins win it all the maybe the A's, Brewers or Rays.

F**K the following franchises (in order):
-Washington
-LA Dodgers
-StL Cardinals
-NY Yankees

I don't really have anything against Houston though.

Baseball Prospectus PECOTA had the Cubs at 79 wins prior to the season.

They have 82 wins with five games left.

The 2016 and 2017 WS were amazing baseball.

Do not want: Yankees, Cardinals

Meh: Dodgers, Nationals, Braves, Twins

Want: Astros, A's, Rays, Brewers

Don’t worry, if the past two seasons are any indication, the Dodgers bats will go cold & Jansen will continue blowing saves like Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office.

1988...senior year in HS. ND wins the NC. Dodgers win the WS. I was spoiled and realize it 30+ years later when neither has done a damn thing.

 

[Rogue219]

Angels might be interested in Joe Maddon.

Absolutely can't wait for that to happen. I bet his pasta sauce will sell well in Anaheim.

 

[ACamp1900]

I've been wanting Joe back form the moment he left... not gonna lie.

Growing up rather poor in the hills of Kentucky, we couldn't afford much. But I did have a radio and I listened to many games called by Marty. Today's his last game and he will be missed.

 

[loomis41973]

Maddon out. Been a great run Joe.

 

[ACamp1900]

My Halos just fired Ausmus... not sure it's gonna happen but they must be thinking Madden.

Cards win in Atlanta! With Flaherty tomorrow and Waino at home game 3 you gotta like the chances of stealing the series.

Just please, for the love of God, not the Yankees.

The Braves garbage pen is going to waste a season of stellar offense.

The Yankees don’t have the pitching to win the WS. If the bats go cold, they could lose to the Twins in 5 games.

Acuna starting to act like ole Manny. Smh

I mean I know that's how everyone perceives it, especially after what happened in August but I honestly think he thought that ball was going foul. That's how I took it, I don't think he was hot dogging it because he thought it was gone. I also don't think the media needed to trip all over themselves to throw him under the bus either.

 

[ickythump1225]

1 win away from advancing for the first time in 18 years.

 

[ACamp1900]

So,.. how y'all holding up there Braves fans?? yikes...

 

[Crazy Balki]

I mean...Christicles.

10 runs in the 1st inning.
