2018 MLB playoffs thread

It's a common parabola.

Where did they come from?
They're a cool team.
I'm pulling for them.
Yay! They won.
There are a couple of real tools on that team.
I'm tired of them.
I'm sick of them. They think they invented the game or something.
Their fans are arrogant, Johnny-come-lately assholes.
Go back to a half-century of irrelevance where you belong.

We were just too stupefied that Ned Yost hit on 20 a dozen straight times and kept winning to drum up any sort of malice.

 

Has anyone read Ben Reiter's book, AstroBall? Apparently, it's a bestseller. I went to a reading and Ben said that the Astros have moved on from what is now considered traditional analytics to using data to fine tune individual players' games. I guess they couldn't fine-tune Altuves' leg. He also had some good inside stuff on how SI went with the Astros prediction story.

Into the Triangle (another Fenway reference).

 

I have a good feeling about the Dodgers. Just putting this out here.

 

I dunno. All season long, no matter what bad thing happened to the Red Sox, they won anyway. It has that "just their year" feeling.
