***2022 MLB Thread: PLAYOFFS***

not sure whose plight is funnier: Trout's or Harper's

 

Brewers waking up to the fact that they may actually make the playoffs despite being only 2 games over .500 in September

 

the guy who shut down the Phillies today looks like an absolute nerd

 

Enjoy the replies

 

Cubs finished 21-10 against the NL east this year, Phillies just ran into a buzz saw

 

I thought this thread was a safe space for Rec-Specs

 

All of this is still true. Granted, I thought Olson would be better this season than he was -- he did have a higher WAR than Fred in 2021. However; the best part of the deal was their respective ages and how old they'd be at the end of their contracts -- Olson still seems like the lesser risk of the 2, but only time will tell.

Historically, the Braves haven't been able to eat bad contracts, and if Freddie fell off when he's 38, it could have killed them. That was in the back of my mind at the time of those posts as well.

 

great answer Carlos. sound like you'll be a great addition to any clubhouse!

 

I enjoyed this follow up

 

I, am once again, asking you to relocate the Phillies and let the A’s come home

 

I did not hate swapping Olson for Freddie from a pure value perspective for the Braves, but the bolded is dumb. They could absolutely weather being underwater on literally one contract coming off a World Series win.

 

particularly considering they’ve defrauded all their good young players

 

and have an owner worth the third most of any owner in a league of billionaire owners

 

one thing to consider is that frauddie is a card carrying member of the united states nazi party

 

Freeman probably eats so much Chick Fil A

 

No wonder he connected with all the fans so well

 

Now they're spending, but at the time of those posts he quoted, the ownership had no history of spending at all, so that was my mindset.

 

No-hitter through 7

 

BOO

 

Man. I’m up in my feels.

 

Enjoy tomorrow mariners fans. Y’all deserve it.

 

Cool video from the Cubs. Drone through Wrigley

 

hey the Phillies scored a run.

 

Intentionally walking Judge when you're out of the playoffs is some bitch ass shit #Baltimore Orioles

 

This whole thing is amazingly overplayed so fuck him

He’s absolutely getting it this series so calm down

 

I agree it's overplayed but an AL record that's stood for 61 years is still cool to break. IBB to him there was lame af.

 

they aren’t out of the playoffs tho

 

But also, fuck the Orioles, fuck Baltimore, and fuck Cal

 

Dansby owns deGrom

deGrom looks so much better with short hair btw

 

I think a Rays W tonight eliminates the O's. The O's aren't making the playoffs.

 

E# is 2

 

Mariners have to win a game.

 

Go home angry you bums paying crazy money for a record only New Yorkers care about

 

Only meaningful record right now is Ovechkin overtaking Gretzky

 

And here I was about to congratulate you for reaching .500

 

We’re coming for #1 next year

 

701

 

Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, and every yankee who played after WW2 mainlined amphetamines along with everyone else, including myself.

 

So Judge is the real HR king? Welcome, comrade.

 

Nobody is required to pitch to judge

 

I quite like the Judge storyline. But even today a good majority of players have an ADHD exception for testing and take adderall.

 

I never said they were but I can say it's a bitch move

 

I'm really just fucking around. I'd like to see him get the AL record but it's not a huge deal. Much bigger deal to my 4 year old daughter than me. She gets anxiety over every AB and I find it adorable.
