It boggles my mind that if the Yankees can’t outspend every team for players then they have the money to “outsmart” everyone by buying the front office people building the rays, orioles, etc. :mjlol:

I'm rooting against Philly because of Dombrowski, who I think is overrated, BUT, he understands more than 95% of GMs what actually wins: hitting.

He has an unlimited payroll, which is why he's always able to be successful, but he always has a specific focus for team building. Defense doesn't really matter. Having a deep lineup with with monster focal points like Miggy and Harper is how you stay in the mix along with a couple great starters. So few teams have lineups that actually scare you.

This obsession with WAR valuing "tools" and defense is so goofy and ass backwards.

I won't talk too much shyt about the Braves because just like the Nats, they were able to win against the team of the millennium.

Now the Ring Dodgers, this beat down will be hilarious

Braves hit all those hr’s in the regular season “greatest offense ever” but sucks at situational hitting & making contact when it matters most. You can see this shyt happening a Mile away

Those frontrunning Braves fans kept mentioning me & talking shyt in the mlb thread just wait :mjgrin:

Baseball is a game of routine and momentum.

It’s unfair for the high seeds to wait a week, while the Wild Card teams stay sharp actually playing baseball.

MLB needs to rethink the process playoff format

Be honest, do you think your Cubs would’ve done anything in the playoffs during the wildcard against this team?

If you’re talking about the braves hell yea

Cubs outplayed them in 4 out the 6 games this season.they could of hung with the Phillies,brewers & dodgers

D backs were the team I wanted no parts of

No, I was talking about the WC specifically so theoretically the Cubs would’ve seen the Backs or the Phillies (depending on a number of things).
