I normally save my milestone posts for the zoo and football board but this time I wanted to share it with all of you lovable jerks. For my 2,000th post I give you playoff TOFA and AOFA:









I will end it with this, because this is the ultimate goal this season!

Here is how we stack up vs the rest of the league statically.

A few thoughts:
  • Offense was good, not elite
  • Pitching was elite and stayed elite
  • Top NL teams down the stretch was very good offensively.
  • TOR & HOU were easily the best AL offenses down the stretch
  • Yankees #s are heavily reliant on the early part of the season
  • DRS overrates the NY defense which in turn overrated their WAR.
  • I trust statcast (OAA & Runs Prevented) over eye test defensive stats
  • I think people (myself included) are sleeping on STL.
  • The Dodgers are the most complete team by far.
  • The NL is stacked

there should be pressure on the Cardinals to advance.

otherwise they are wasting these great Goldschmidt and Arenado seasons

So with no baseball on last night I finally got around to watching Facing Nolan on Netflix.

What a well done documentary! Can't recommend it enough. Great watch

in the last game of the season, Ohtani went 5 IP, i hit, 1 run and Trout hit a 490 ft HR. Amazing!

The Angels lost 3-2.

Ryan - baseball's about 3 things: pitching, pitching and more pitching

Berra - Baseball is 90% pitching. Hitting and fielding are the other 50%.

LonghornDub - I want both but you take the hitting and I'll take the pitching and I'll be eating next week.

The braves were 14th in pitcher's WAR last season. 8th in ERA, 10th in FIP, 12th in xFIP, and 12th in K%-BB%. Once they got there, they pitched well.

Sounds great and all but seems like a trap for a political rally being that it's at city hall.

The '17 championship parade ended at City Hall. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and go check it out since I'm off tomorrow.

Since June 29th Yordan has had 122 plate appearances in 64 games with runners on.

.265 BA
.369 OBP
.357 SLG
.726 OPS
.305 wOBA
99 wRC+
23.0 K%
13.9 BB%

He hasn't been great with runners on. But his opportunities haven't exactly been way down. Pre Brantley's injury he had 147 PA in 63 games. He was just more successful then.

.303 BA
.408 OBP
.590 SLG
.998 OPS
.421wOBA
181 wRC+
15.0 K%
14.3 BB%

Chandler seems to be inferring Brantley has something to do with it. I'm not really seeing how.

He's an idiot. More likely has to do with Yordan's major slump after fouling it off his leg and with teams pitching around him with runners on.

So what's the best guess on our playoff roster / lineup? Does it change based on who our ALDS opponent is?

That seems to be a pretty common thought. Last week someone posted odds for winning the WS that showed Atlanta with better odds than LA. But why is that? The Dodgers finished with a better record by 10 games and beat the Braves in their season series by 4 games to 2.

Should we really be hoping the Astros face LA over Atlanta in the Series? That's not how I'm feeling now.

You already have 13 pitchers. Can't drop Dubon for another one

Ah yeah you're right. I thought you could break down the 26 however you wanted.

I'd maybe swap Dubon and Hensley then

I only know the bad umpires.

Since I've never heard of them they must be pretty good.

I think it's how the bracket is set up. LA has to potentially go through the Mets to get to the NLCS while the Braves have to go through Philly/St. Louis. If the Mets lose or once LA gets to the NLCS, the odds will adjust in LA's favor.

edit: or maybe not, FanGraphs actually has LA at a 49.4% chance to win the NLDS which I have to think means their ratings have them as underdogs to the Mets.
