when he unnecessarily put him in last year just to serve up the Tragic Homers i was cackling in shock

i would probably feel this way if I were a fan of any other team

instead, Kershaw's postseason is like a voodoo doll for my own psyche, knowing how much it devastates him makes it real tough to watch

Dodgers pitching is deep enough that there should never be a reason to leave him in long enough to melt down for like 5+ runs, but Dave is full of surprises

Those playoff days, we used to know,
leave runners on, then out he'd go
eh bien, three run home run,
gently caress you, Matt Holliday.

Aroldis Chapman is really good at giving up big playoff homers, even if he was spared in 2016.

Butt first, let's

Rays real good.

Series was great. Helped me out a lot. I had a lot of fun and am bummed but not upset.

Pulling HARD for Tampa Bay to keep taking down their villains. I might be more invested in Tampa/Houston then I was in this series.

I'm rooting for whoever wins the Astros / Rays series. AL supremacy baybay - NL took 33 years to realize DH is the superior option.

Baseball games are too reliant on homers in 2020 and it's bad. Basically whoever hits more homers wins and it sucks.

Oh boo hoo. What's "this one?" Giving the Astros poo poo for making it to the playoffs on a losing record?

Not everyone in the south is a hick but please forgive me being tired of red state bullshit. Not that blue states are perfect but holy poo poo. Remember when our Lt. Gov. said the elderly should sacrifice themselves for the economy? And yet you're blaming someone for wanting to leave that environment? Acting like someone that is black and lgbt has zero reason to resent red states, most of all texas, is pretty loving rich.

Aren't you the guy that said you were going to gloat and the embrace the Astros' cheating? Big talk coming from you.

I don't think Aaron Boone's the guy to lead the Yankees. I feel like he isn't maximizing their talent.

I don't think Boone is a good manager but he's not the one scoring 1 run on 3 hits in a game 5. They might need to change the roster composition. IDK what they should even do. Maybe add like 3 more bullpen arm's.

The only thing I've figured out is that they don't have a bullpen they have a stable and everyone in it throws 98+

The Dodgers hit 1 home run in 3 games against San Diego while scoring 23 runs. Sounds like a Yankees specific problem.

I'm a sad Yankees fan, but I can respect that homer because I don't like Chapman or dumb macho poo poo like 98 MPH fastballs at someone's head.

I feel a lot better about the Astros playing the Rays when they don't have to play a single game at the Trop.

I'm a little surprised they're playing potentially 7 straight, though, even at a neutral site. That could get brutal if there are any extra inning games in there.
