100% agree

They shouldn’t have even been in playoffs with their record. Cheaters or not, they have good ball players and have a playoff pedigree that got them this far despite it all. It makes it that more infuriating when good players cheat. Now they are stained.

And we could make a whole thread on greats that never got a title in sports. And Kersh hasn’t always dominated, so it will be if it is to be. I have my fondness for players how they played he game day in day out. Titles are icing on the cake. But that is just my opinion which is what matters in my world.

Ted Williams and Ernie Banks say hello

Ted Williams and Ernie Banks say hello

Ken Griffey Jr and Tony Gwynn as well.

I was going to add Nolan Ryan, but he actually won one with the 69 Mets early in his career. But during his dominant times, nada.

donnie baseball too

[alias_rice]

I’m already 4 beers in and nervous as hell. Let’s go Dodgers and finish this damn thing!

[Marshall Tucker]

Well that sucked

[stealurface831]

im gonna say it: mookie is the greatest outfielder i have ever seen.

[warthog]

This just got interesting.

I kinda want the Rays to play LA. Huge payroll vs bargain basement.

[Marshall Tucker]

Yeah hard to argue mookies talent GO BRAVES

[SirHeady]

It kind of feels like the 90s...Go Braves

[stealurface831]

absolute pimp job by Bellinger. This is a fun game.

[SkiBall]

This is a fun one.

[ex-powderbroker]

nice comeback dodgers and an epic choke by the braves.

[Bunion 2020]

Fuck Joe Buck, great series. Go Rays.

[stealurface831]

depth wins series. the braves were not deep. the dodgers were very deep.

[SkiBall]

Ok Dodgers, this is your look at it.

[Danno]

Mike Trout would like a word with you. Unless you only watch playoff baseball, in which case your point makes sense.

[alias_rice]

Hell yeah! What a fucking series. I’m not gonna lie, after they went down 3-1 I thought the series was over. Happy to be wrong.

And fuck Covid for making it so I can’t go to any of these games.

Mike Trout would like a word with you. Unless you only watch playoff baseball, in which case your point makes sense.

I'm talking in terms of defense. Trout is generally accepted as being average to slightly above average on the defensive side. His 2.7 career dWAR puts him behind the likes of Michael A. Taylor and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Offensive production easily skews perspective on defensive ability. Derek Jeter is one of the worst defensive shortstops of all-time. From 2003 until his retirement, he was dead last in DRS, and by a large margin.

[warthog]

Ok, East Coast vs. West Coast. Big Market vs. Small Market, Big payroll vs. Tiny.

This is sizing up to be a good series.

[plugboots]

depth wins series. the braves were not deep. the dodgers were very deep.

This year, (with games every day).

[Woodsy]

OK Dodgers get it done.
I want what ever Turner takes to stay so spry at his age.

SO good to see a Healthy Seager being the Corey we all expected after that rookie year.
Damn

Urias unheralded stud of this series.

so many weapons

Mookie and Belli gonna rob ya.
