Board 8 > MLB and Baseball Topic #3 - Postseason Madness

(+) Yeah! (+)

The time off isn't always beneficial in baseball. It can very often put guys out of rhythm with both hitting and pitching and often times the teams who have kept playing for longer series benefit from it.

Stanton still out. If the Yankees drop this series, I 100% blame him for not playing through this. We wait all fucking season for our A+ lineup and he can't stay on it because his widdle weggie huwts.

And honestly, I wasn't concerned about the National League even a little bit when the playoffs started. But Yankees/Stros is gonna go long, and whoever gets through is going to be right up against a fully rested Nats rotation...

ask how that went for my Tigers after sweeping the ALCS in 2006 and 2012

Really hate that I can only get a little bit wasted at work for this game

Pulling for Sevy to have an all-time game purely to expose ExTha for being a terrible hater

It's 4 PM in a city where everyone works 50 hours a week

---

excuses
---

Need to bust up Cole early on if they want to stand a chance

---

Sure was a great idea to move torres down

---

ok I am with ExTha now

I want to skin severino alive

---

dude is so lucky to only be down by 2

---

I think of my many correct and flawless opinions, the one that will have aged the most well is that we should've traded Luis Severino immediately following last year's playoffs.
---

Imagine being such a clueless buffoon that you hype up a 4 inning performance against the lowly Twins.

I don't think it's overreacting to say that Severino is the worst pitcher we've fielded in the history of the post season, and he should be jettisoned from our ranks as soon as possible because he's absolute dead weight.
---

The most frustrating thing is that Garrit Cole is looking sufficiently mortal tonight, and if we get him out by the 5th/6th inning, the game will likely be out of reach because Severino is such a worthless piece of gutter trash.
---

He is the anti-Tanaka (anti-Christ)

---

I'm glad that you are on board with something that I was obviously correct about.

I know it's tough to admit that you're wrong and even tougher to admit that I'm the obviously superior fan, but I'll forgive you for your stupidity. It's not your fault you aren't on my level.
---

That said, good inning. He fuckin needed it.

Now we need to tag this Cole loser.
---

Stanton needs to be in the DH spot immediately

---

it's almost like when I start trash talking Severino on Board 8 he starts pitching better.

So let me just say that Luis Severino is absolutely the worst pitcher I've ever seen in my life. I could get in the batter's box against him and feel confident about hitting.

wtf Gardner

Now do Sanchez

---

Should've traded Sanchez after last year as well
---

gotta love how they're making Severino sit and chill to make this idiotic umpire change
---

Like how is this taking so fucking long? Just put another guy up there if that pansy can't do it anymore.
---

At least it's giving me time to get to a bar

hopefully I get to deal with drunk Sephy lambasting me about Severino when we come back and win this one
---

Green is such a fucking stud. You can feel the entire energy shift. Thank god it's a two run game because I am feeling like the offense might start doing something to impress their savior.

---

I am done with baseball forever. No sport should be as cruel as Didi being a foot away from the greatest homerun of the season.

---

scary!
---

that angry fan in the replay was even scarier chill out dude

That was TimJab

---

It legitimately looked like TimJab but he's texting me and is entirely too sober to be at the game.
---

That was a play that was actually great defense AND great base running at the same time.
---

wtg Britton you fuckin bum
---

Cannot let this get any bigger than 3 or it's over.
---

whoops
---

lol at blaming Britton because your catcher sucks at catching.

Maybe don't bounce two pitches in a row to put all that pressure on your below average defensive catcher
---

in any case, this loss is heavily on Boone and Severino. Sevy for being trash and letting them get ahead of us, and Boone for his disastrous lineup choices.
---

lmao Aaron Judge please learn how to lay off a pitch for one time in your life

By that logic, maybe don't bring in the guy who's made a career out of throwing sinkers with a man on 3rd.

hey man you won't find me arguing with you about Boone's terrible bullpen choices this series

like I said, not fit to hold Girardi's jock but you got these terrible faux fans like SephG and TimJob championing him despite literally zero accomplishments ever.
---

this new umpire sucks also
---

I think he was out with the tag.
---

FUCKIN TRASH base running by the fat slow piece of garbage Encarnacion

who shouldn't even be in the game but that worthless made of glass loser Stanton is injured at the most important time of the year.

Rooting for this team is so goddamn maddening because they just make me angry
---

"we have the greatest lineup ever assembled"

doesn't score for 14+ innings

TimJab and co. please delete your accounts
