Board 8 > MLB PLAYOFFS Topic 6 ~ The Bryce Harper Commercial Literally Causes Cancer

(+) Yeah! (+)

Strikezone has been pretty terrible for both sides.
---

strike zone has been consistently wide, but the top/bottom is pretty funky

awww yeah Al Toovay

WHO CAN?????

MC CANN CAN!!!!!! (take that random really annoying Yankees fan who kept screaming that nonstop at Mets-Yankees game I went to last year)
---

I'm not mad we're gonna lose despite playing better because of a crooked ump.

I'm angry that BECAUSE we're gonna lose while playing better because of a crooked Ump that Judge's catch (the best defensive play in game 7 history) will not be recogniazed as it should be.

It's okay, the real best defensive play in game 7 history (Endy Chavez) also came in a losing effort.
---

Looks like the two best teams for most of the season will meet in the World Series. That's a welcome change.

Yeah. Because we are gonna get cheated. If we won this game it would be remembered form 40 years.

No...

Chavez had the advantage of having someone on base (and that person being a fucking idiot) and therefore the doubling up makes it seem even more impressive. Judge made a better catch however

It'd have been way more impressive if Aaron Judge wasn't gigantic.

That's not really his fault, nor should it be held against him.

Looks like this young team just wasn't ready for the biggest moment yet. Shame.

Go go Houston Verlanders
---

shit end to an amazingly fun season. i look forward to Torres replacing Castro.
---

can't believe the Yankees couldnt get anything against McCullers. He was inaccurate and predictable with unspectacular stuff. Need to punish that kind of pitching.
---

Houston vs. LA is gonna be fun
---

We'll be back next year, clear favorites. Hopefully not have to play a vastly inferior team that has a strike zone the size of Saturn again.

THE HOUSTON ASTROS WIN THE PENNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!!!!
One of Beltran or Granderson finally gets a much-deserved ring. Win-win.

(But go Astros. Fuck the thing on the Dodgers.)
---

Congratulations to the Astros and their fans. I'll be pulling for y'all.

Fun season. Yanks will be contenders for a good while yet. Hope we can bring most of the crew back.

Having to celebrate Nationals/Yankees losses because your team gives you zero to cheer for due to being laughably bad.

aw yeah best world series matchup achievement unlocked

glad the buttkeys lost so i can laugh at arti!!
---

I called Dodgers > Astros in May so this doesn't bother me too much. Two very likable teams.
---

The two best teams in baseball this year in the World Series. Should be fun.

I don't know who I'll be rooting for yet.

I like most of the Astros. But the one I don't like I fucking hate.

I like a few of the Dodgers... but the ones I don't like I really don't like.

Honestly, I just hope Altuve and Puig collide into each other head first incredibly fucking hard at break neck speed. Cocky assholes both of them, arrogant pricks. that's my rooting interest this series.

Any Yankee fans in NY, do we still hate the Dodgers? Or has hate subsided since they moved to LA?

Houston will win. The team will give all thanks to the fans who overcame a disaster to cheer on their city's baseball team. These stories write themselves.

you say that as though there's even a single person on this board that was alive when they moved to LA

i certainly don't hate the Dodgers. would have been fun to see them lose to the Yankees for the upteenth time, but that's about it.

No. I say that as though people like TimJab live in NY so he could tell me if the Yanks still hate them from the city rivalry or if decades apart have changed that.

I don't think hate for the Dodgers/Giants is still a thing here; I haven't seen it. They've been gone for over 60 years.

Good luck to the Astros in the World Series!

Imagine being a fan of a team so irrelevant that your success is gauged by the failure of another team lol

This is every Mets fan I know.

At least when I root against the Pats (when the v Jets are terrible), they're a division rival

Anyway, that was a really fucking fun season and series for us, and I'm hopeful for the next decade+

Pulling for the Astros because they seem like pretty good dudes

There is no Yankees/Dodgers rivalry except maybe in the minds of really old fans.

Also I'm not sure how you could hate Altuve. Dude's humble and always shows re2pect to the Yankees.

Yeah I like most of them except Gurriel kind of gives me the douche chills

And Correa should shave his facial hair

I don't know a single person who has an opinion on the Dodgers, positive or negative

Thank you.

I will watch every second of this World Series, and I am not rooting for any team in particular.
---

good way to do it
---

Nervous as fuck right now.
---

I like the Astros well enough but wanna see Roberts win the series again. Kind of a win win from the outside.
---

Are there any actual Astro fans on this board?
---

Unless I missed it, I'm surprised that Wigs hasn't talked about the new Mets managerial hire.
---

Whoo Mickey Callaway, great hire. Definitely the choice I most wanted out of those available (other than maybe Cora but it was always obvious he was going to the Sox).
---

when does Darvish pitch btw

Probably not, since they used to be in the NL for a very long time before switching to the AL. And there seem to be a lot more fans of AL teams on this board compared to NL teams, since the AL postseason games seem to get more widely discussed than the NL postseason games. This topic is usually fairly dead when 2 NL teams are going at it in a postseason game compared to when it's 2 AL teams.
---

I'm pretty torn on this WS. As a fan of baseball I want to see one of the greatest of all-time (Kershaw) win a title at some point in his career. But as a fan of the Giants, fuck the Dodgers.

I guess that makes it a win-win really.

Without counting, my gut feeling is that the NL is actually more represented if you remove the mass of Yankees fans
