The 2019 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

I prefer we face the Nationals than the Dodgers.

Oh Atlanta

 

[FakeNews]

Crazy how snakebitten some franchises are in October

all a Tigers fan has around this time of year is cheering for teams at home like them

Came out of hiding, huh?

Why don't you worry about winning a playoff game, first.

How is that any different than a Twins fan?

Brian McCann announced his retirement.

Brian McCann announced his retirement.

He should've retired after last season.

3rd best catcher of his era (Molina. Posey McCann).

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Walker Buehler is primetime. I love watching him pitch. Got into some trouble in the last 4 innings but was never really tested. Dodgers bullpen gotta hold it down for him.

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Well I jinxed the Dodgers.

This Nats team is something else. Strasburg deserves a lot of credit for not letting it get worse than the 2 home runs and Davey Martinez deserves credit for leaving him out there with runners on first and second 0 outs in the 5th.

Good for Howie Kendrick. Anthony Rendon is deserving of more people seeing how good he is and Juan Soto looks like a 12 year vet at the plate.

Bryce Harper

Just because it worked doesn't mean that was the right call.

Yes it was.

Strasburg in that situation > anyone in their pen.

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

That's fair. But I don't think he wanted to go to Corbin that early and need to rely on that bullpen more than he had too. If Dodgers tack on more runs or the game ends 3-1, then that move probably gets criticized a lot more

No shyt, lol. It wasn't about taking out Strasburg, but maximizing your scoring opportunity down 3 runs in an elimination game.

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

Welp, hope my Astros can play big tomorrow but TB riding high. Never know about post season baseball.

Buuuuut proving someone wrong parroting all season made my year so, even if they lose

I think it's a closer call than some have said, but I'd still have hit for him.

Of course, his abomination of an at bat made the decision look significantly worse.
