BS5_RED Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 There's normally a few waifs and strays on here who have an interest. Anyone watching this year? Strongest sides look to be in the AL with, baring a big turnaround, things look set for a cracker showdown between the Evil Empire and Houston in the ALCS, with the winner being World Series favs.. NL looks trickier to predict. My mob - the Cardinals have a sniff against a good Braves side, but I'd still put us as underdogs. Washington have a chance against a quality Dodgers team - but its Washington - so they'll probably balls it up. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always been a massive Astros fan; from the time i lived in Houston as a child. Used to go down to the Astrodome all the time; it was massive and a pitcher's paradise.

elhombrecito Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Sox haven't made it, so I'm firmly in the Anybody But The Yankees camp. Fingers crossed that Houston have too much for them in the ALCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS5_RED Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Despite having no logical reason to dislike the Yanks - I'm also in the ABY camp. Yeah Houston looking like a beast of a side - they'll need that pitching to get through the ALCS tho. Can't see the NL sides having a sniff this year!

TMWANG50 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Quote Cubs fan so anyone but the Cards but they are hanging around like a bad smell. I think the Astros or the Yanks will probably seal the WS though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're not going away any time soon. A Tensky in the first inning, three pitchers sent packing in the first three innings and Jack Flaherty imperious on the mound. And the Dodgers choked in the tenth as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand... That being said, I will be supporting the Nats for the simple reason that I had an excellent career with them on MLB The Show after they took a chance on me and traded for me from the Royals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbb Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Absolutely chuffed about last night. Couldn’t sleep a wink. Despite Max only going 5, which I thought would be a definite cause for us to lose! Desperately need Stras to go 7 tonight at least to give the only reliable arms in the bullpen a lighter workload before the travel day. Astros are so tough though.

Rainey got so scared after Springer took him deep he just couldn't bring himself to throw a strike. Then it all went weird. Robles throwing the wrong base allowing a runner to move up to 2nd followed by Springer's opposite field shot that Eaton couldn't snag that he only got a double out of when it should have been a triple because he was watching it instead of running. Still, it went our way. Need a bit more from Kendrick and Rendon tonight as it's unrealistic to expect Soto to be able to carry the offence all series.

awbb Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I was reading about this. It seems like ridiculous hubris (and of course they lost game 3 last night (damn it all)) but basically the in house crew just have to do what MLB tell them during the post season. Bearing in mind everything that Manfred has had to deal with over the last few days I reckon he'd prefer the stage to come together than fall apart!

Was a hard watch last night. Game 3 we looked as good as Houston, just couldn't drive the runners in. Not the case last night. We looked exactly like we were portrayed in the media before the series.
