DpObliVion 07/07/18 10:46:27 PM #412 | I guess I should do this now before it's too late.... my MLB All-Star roster predictions. This is not necessarily who I think should make the team, but who I think will make the team. Well, with maybe one exception. I tried to follow the way the rosters are constructed: Fan ballot, player ballot, commissioner picks, then fan final vote. I'll just get into it because whatever. American League C Wilson Ramos C Yan Gomes 1B Jose Abreu 1B Mitch Moreland 2B Jose Altuve 2B Gleyber Torres* 2B Whit Merrifield 3B Jose Ramirez 3B Alex Bregman SS Manny Machado SS Francisco Lindor SS Jean Segura OF Mookie Betts OF Mike Trout OF Aaron Judge OF Andrew Benintendi OF Eddie Rosario OF Nicholas Castellanos DH J.D. Martinez DH Nelson Cruz SP Justin Verlander SP Luis Severino SP Chris Sale SP Blake Snell SP Corey Kluber SP Gerrit Cole SP Trevor Bauer SP J.A. Happ RP Edwin Diaz RP Aroldis Chapman RP Blake Treinen RP Keone Kela * - Torres replaced by Jed Lowrie due to injury National League C Willson Contreras C J.T. Realmuto 1B Freddie Freeman 1B Jesus Aguilar 1B Paul Goldschmidt 1B Max Muncy 1B Brandon Belt 2B Ozzie Albies 2B Javier Baez 2B Scooter Gennett 3B Nolan Arenado 3B Eugenio Suarez SS Brandon Crawford SS Trea Turner OF Nick Markakis OF Matt Kemp OF Bryce Harper OF Lorenzo Cain OF Kyle Schwarber OF Brandon Nimmo SP Max Scherzer SP Jacob deGrom SP Aaron Nola SP Patrick Corbin SP Jon Lester SP Zack Greinke SP Miles Mikolas RP Josh Hader RP Sean Doolittle RP Kenley Jansen RP Kirby Yates RP Felipe Vazquez So there you have it. Hmm, too many 1B on the NL side, but Muncy is more of a utility player, and I put Belt through on the Final Vote because Giants fans show up for the vote. Segura was my Final Vote for the AL. Those are hard to predict because who knows who will be there, and fan voting is wacky. Some tough choices on teams getting their one required player which could have a big effect on things. Choo is probably a better representative for the Rangers than Kela, but it's a lot easier to add a RP than a DH, unless Choo just gets in as the backup DH through the player ballot over Cruz, which is possible. Likewise for the Cardinals, it could go either way between Mikolas and Carpenter, but I preferred to include Muncy rather than squeeze Carpenter in. I think Carpenter could be another candidate for Final Vote though. And yeah, a little bias there going with Nimmo as the 6th outfielder. That race could be completely up in the air between him, David Peralta, Odubel Herrera, Yelich, and Blackmon. I think he's gotten a bit more attention as he endears himself with that infectious smile, that could give him the votes on the player ballot to push him to the top of that pile. Lowrie might just make it outright over Torres as the backup 2B, but he's made big waves despite a little less playing time as a rookie and recent injury. But Lowrie should make it one way or the other, so I included him with an asterisk. Brandon Belt is questionable, but it just comes down to who's on that Final Vote ballot. Trevor Story is another good candidate there. I'm sure there are more snubs I missed. AL SP is super deep. Maybe someone like James Paxton can get on if Choo beats out Cruz, then you can get rid of Kela. --- LGM |

I am hoping for a restriction on shifts though and think it could happen. People will grumble about it, but tough shit. Hell, it might increase it. If you can't stack one side of the infield, you might be more inclined to at least put your best infielder on that side. --- LGM |

DpObliVion 06/15/18 6:40:33 PM #31 | I normally care but I don't really this year, but it's because Italy failed to qualify rather than the U.S. Well, it's probably a combination really, if one had qualified then I'd probably find enough in me to care, but both failing to qualify really killed it for me. --- LGM |

DpObliVion 05/09/18 6:24:12 PM #11 | Regardless of the batting-out-of-order fiasco, the Mets just lost a series against the Reds, are in fourth place in the division, and just a game above .500 after a 10-1 start. The panic is officially justified. And I really don't see it getting much better. The team is just not that good. There were a lot of question marks on this team coming into the season, and they're all getting exposed now. Extremely lucky we got off to the start we did, but all of that has been erased less than a month later. Okay, unrelated, the Mets have three days off in the next eight days. Then a stretch of 18 games in 17 days. Then three days off in the following eight days. Absolutely brilliant schedule-making. --- LGM |

DpObliVion 04/07/18 1:21:26 PM #403 | Yeah, I don't really like it either. I mean, no matter who we end up facing, we've got a tough match, so I can see the reasoning behind resting players. For what it's worth (not much, probably), the Devils went 3-0 this season against the Lightning. 0-3 against Boston. 3-1 against Pittsburgh. 1-2 against Washington (playing them today, but with players resting, you can throw that out). --- LGM |
Topic | NHL Discussion Topic Part 2 - We Didn't Purge Edition |
DpObliVion 04/07/18 12:02:10 PM #400 | I think the Devils would prefer to face the Penguins. Either way, after clinching, they will be resting players today. Taylor Hall, on 39 goals, won't play, along with Zajac, Palmieri, and Vatanen. Nico Hischier will play to complete a full 82-games-played season. --- LGM |
