2019 MLB Postseason

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Batter doesn't need a big bat flip to be a jerk.
I present to you- Carlos Gomez...


I favored the move done by Brian McCann.
BTW - Gomez never touched the plate...
 
Bat flips aside. If you think anyone ever deserves to get thrown at, you’re a complete moron.

Well you really shouldn't throw at someone, I get that, but at the same time its always been apart of the game and you have to protect your team mates and back them up. So its the you mess with my team mate, then I am going to back up him and get back at you motto. I agree and disagree with you and @Lord Mar as well.

Wasn’t that bad either. Clear overreaction.
 
Huge for the Nats to close out last night and rest and reset their rotation ahead of the World Series

Cole wasn't even as sharp as we've come to expect from him and he still went 7 scoreless yesterday. The Astros offense is still kinda sleep walking through the postseason, yet they're up 2-1; certainly helps when you have 2 cheat code pitchers.
 
Alright guys, knock it off with this. You clearly don't agree, and this is spiralling to a bad place.
 
I'll be in NY for games 6 and 7 to root for the Nats.

Don't let me down ye darn Yanks!
 
I am relatively new here, and clearly this Indians board isnt for me. I love the Indians and like talking baseball, but this board is crazy. If you post something somebody doesnt agree with, terms like moron and babies start to come out. They do it in a way though where it makes it look questonable to whether they are talking about you.....but they are. They have it down to a message board science. Same 2 or 3 guys too. Its a shame because i am clearly not a troll, or some guy that stomps on the Indians grave when they lose. Just a guy that doesnt care for over the top batflips. I can see why the Indians board is basically so low traffic. I know nobody gives two shits but i thought i would at least give my two cents. Peace.

Guys have been warned on both sides, and posts deleted.
 
Random, but was looking back at Edwin Encarnacion's numbers. We got 2 good years out of Edwin, certainly overpaid for his production in 2018.

But man, we really missed out on great Edwin. K rate started to rise in 2016 with Toronto. I don't think I knew he used to strikeout at such a ridiculously low rate for a guy with his power

Average stats from his previous 5 seasons in Toronto.

39 HR
110 RBI
12.5% BB%
15.1% K%
.272 / .367 / .549

Yeah, Edwin really didn't even come into his own until he was 29 years old either. He had a few solid seasons before that, but the vast majority of the damage he's done has been in his 30s.

Has hit at least 32 HRs every season since 2012 too. Super outside chance of getting to 500 HRs too if he can stay healthy for 3-4 more years and not fall off a cliff.

Not bad for a guy who only had 159 HR in his 20s.
 
Thing is, this Yankees team is really great. Remind me a lot of the 95 Indians. Their starting pitching isn't that bad. Not great, they have no sure fire ace. Great bullpen, and great offense.

The Astros team is just historically great.
