Would it help if we renamed the playoffs? Something to emphasize the tournament aspect? “The MLB Cup.” Separate from the league champion. I dunno, spitballing. I feel for those that had excellent teams go out early but not sure any playoff format doesn’t include that happening.

In Saturday's 18-inning game vs. Mariners, Luis Garcia became the 2nd pitcher in playoff history to have a relief outing with 5+ IP, 6+ K, 0 R, & 0 BB.

40 years ago and they still have 3 better camera angles on throws to the plate than any MLB broadcast today.The Porkchop Express said:Yordan is turning into Dave Parker. Big power hitter who also hits for average and has a cannon for an arm.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:
honestly, i didnt know yordon had a cannon until like a month ago.
If you're too young to remember him, Parker was 6'5 230 lbs, Had not quite as much power as Yordan, but won two batting titles in the 70s back to back to back seasons (.338, .334, 3 seasons of 30+ homers and 9 seasons of 90+ RBI.
Here he is gunning down the Angels' Brian Downing in the All-Star Game in 1979 with the ball bouncing 9 feet in the air off the AstroTurf
And unable to find a pop up in the outfield, and then destroying Jim Rice trying to get to third in the same game. joe Morgan playing second, and Astro Craig Reynolds at shortstop!

I can't foresee them bumping the start of the ALCS because that then shifts every game of the series. Especially since it would result in them missing out on a primetime game Saturday since that would become the travel day.
That's a lot of shuffling that I'm not sure MLB wants to do.
Rube Walberg threw 20 complete games in 1929. That total was tied for 6th in the American League.EastCoastAgNc said:In Saturday's 18-inning game vs. Mariners, Luis Garcia became the 2nd pitcher in playoff history to have a relief outing with 5+ IP, 6+ K, 0 R, & 0 BB.

The playoffs are so weird.
The Indians and Yankee's season will be decided with a matchup of Aaron Civale vs Jameson Taillon. Two guys with career ERAs around 4. Expect no freebies and a **** ton of breaking balls tonight.

I'm not selling them, but apparently cannot read as I totally missed that part of his post!Ag_07 said:
Because you didn't say how much you were selling them for. You just said face value.
No reason to hold anything back. Everyone should be available.Mathguy64 said:Farmer1906 said:

Both managers have hard choices tonight. If they lose the starter in the second inning do they use Bieber or Cortez on short rest? You can't really afford to play the "save them for the LCS" card as you have to win. And you can't let a bad random starter dig you a hole either. These guys are on short leashes. And both pens are used up.
Cleveland has the huge advantage there Clase, Stephan & Karinchak all rested.Quote:

Tito has stated Bieber isnt pitching. Or maybe he said that in reference to starting I'm not sure. But to not pitch him if necessary is rolling the dice. Boone has said Cortez would be available for a couple if needed.Farmer1906 said:No reason to hold anything back. Everyone should be available.Mathguy64 said:Farmer1906 said:
