I don't expect a team to win every game, but I do expect them to give their best, and if they come up short, so be it.RealTalk said:Such a lazy take.Goose83 said:Hey, the team quit first.07ag said:its not, stop being a quitterrgt99 said:
That's the series right there
This is baseball. You don't always play well every single time you take the field. Sometimes, the other team is just better that day. It doesn't mean that they quit.

How you know that they're not giving their best? Just because the results aren't what you think it should be doesn't mean that they're not giving maximum effort.Goose83 said:I don't expect a team to win every game, but I do expect them to give their best, and if they come up short, so be it.RealTalk said:Such a lazy take.Goose83 said:Hey, the team quit first.07ag said:its not, stop being a quitterrgt99 said:

This team isn't giving its best.

I agree. I sometimes think the team with 3 straight home games has the advantage. How I felt in 2017. And was definitely worried about it in 2019
In baseball it is crap. The team who doesn't have home field advantage basically has home field advantage.AgsMyDude said:

Second WS game ZG has pitched lights out (tonight and game 7 2019) and no W to show. He showed us the Hall of Famer that he is. He could get us 6 outs in game 7.

I personally think 2-3-2 makes the most sense. If you win your first two at home, all you need is 1 on the road to take control. Baseball is always played in 2 to 3 game series. 2-2-1-1-1 would be ridiculous

Bregman and Yordan are combined 2 for 25. Maldonado has 2 hits, ffs.
Throw in Correa's 2 for 14, and that's a pretty lousy middle of the lineup.

it also feels like the bills have come due on Machete.redline248 said:

3-2-1-1
I'd take that format as well, with the last game being played away
That seems like a better "home field" advantage format
. Its hard to tell right now. Is 2020 even a good gauge? The scandal, covid, just a crappy season all the way around. This year is out because of the injury. Next yeR will be huge in determining the actual value of his extension and was it done prematurely.W said:it's kind of something nobody wants to talk about...kb2001 said:Bregman was bad in the WS in 2019 also.

Take his horrible 2021 postseason out of the discussion. Here's Bregman's OPS by year:
2016: .791 (rookie season)
2017: .827
2018: .926 (all star)
2019: 1.015 (2nd in AL MVP voting)
2020: .801
2021: .777
I keep waiting for him to break out of it, but he's just not the same hitter. He has no confidence at all, he gives away strike one every AB now because he almost never swings at the first pitch, and teams have noticed.
Bregman is a charter member of the 1819 club (that we'll break down in the offseason).
guys that were superstars in 2018 and/or 2019...and now 2 years later are shells of their former selves.
the likes of Bellinger, Yelich, Lindor, Rendon, Jose Ramirez, et al
go figure
