I think the O's could sweep the Royals and go up 3-0 in the World Series and Fangraphs would still be really down on them http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx

Strange; Playoff Status is almost as biased in favor of the Orioles - and appears to provide the (limited) stats to back it up, whereas Fangraphs is pretty much impenetrable. Maybe it's a narrative thing - you can lead a dude to stats but you can't make him think. Sports Club Stats would be neat if they did post-season stuff. If.

It's supposed to rain all day friday in Baltimore. How does that uh, work in the ALCS? Just everything is pushed back including the travel day or do they play a day game on Sunday and travel same day to KC?

Whodat Smith-Jones posted:Also interested in the answer to this since I'm planning on making a futile effort to purchase a ticket to Game 2 when tickets go on sale to the public today "Game 1 would become Saturday's game if Friday is postponed. According to the Orioles, should game 1 be rained out tomorrow night, HOME GAME 1 ticket holders would then be admitted to SATURDAY'S game, as that would now serve as "Home Game 1." Though unofficial, the prevailing prediction is that Game 2 would then take place on Sunday at 4-5 PM, eliminating the travel day, forcing the Orioles and Royals to play on five consecutive days."

Schweinhund posted:Denard Span It kind of depresses me to think that the Nats would have scored runs if Rendon and Harper weren't so far from each other in the lineup, but Bryce didn't do a whole lot during the regular season to warrant hitting earlier in the lineup. I wouldn't be terribly shocked if he moves up in the lineup next year if Adam LaRoche is gone.

I think Fangraphs' odds are based on their projections going forward, not on the actual stats. To summarize:
In conclusion, Dave Cameron is bad.

I believe there may be an instructional league that plays informally at ST camps until short season ball starts in late June, but I don't know much about that. I've been to plenty of fall instructional league games though.

A day before the ALCS the Orioles and Hardy talked out a contract that both sides agreed on. Tweets are saying it'll be officially announced later today but Hardy should be an Oriole for 3 more years.

Asema posted:https://twitter.com/masnRoch/status/520256244003921923 Cruz seems like the kind of guy you don't want to give an extension to. He's entering his age 34 season, already can't play defense at all, and pretty much only hits for power. Also, the Jhonny Peralta deal loving owns and I love it more every day.

It's funny how many teams passed on Cruz this season, considering the big contract he was seeking. Then he settles for a one year contract with the Orioles and has a season I bet few people were expecting.

Bruce Bochy's a giant-headed genius, y'all. I agree with a lot of this but there's also a lot of revisionism here. For instance, yes Bochy is doing the right thing by trusting rookie Joe Panik to fill the hole at 2B. However, we only got to this place after trying out the dessicated corpses of Brandon Hicks and Dan Uggla. Akbar fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Oct 9, 2014 |

So does this mean there were enough current season ticket holders, people who reserved season tickets for next year, and people who reserved partial season tickets for next year that there were only enough tickets to last less than 5 minutes when they went on sale to the general public? Because that just seems absurd to me.

Cardinal sportswriting is very parody friendlyquote:Against a perfect twilight sky, Indian summer shifting to brilliant autumn, the Gateway Arch joined the 46,906 Busch Stadium faithful who bore witness to another perfect moment of baseball history. Pure Americana distilled into one barrel-chested frame, Matt Adams launched a curveball from that would-be conquerer, Clayton Kershaw, deep into the night, etching himself into the history books — and hearts — of the proudest tradition in baseball: Cardinals October memories. As his wide frame skipped and bounced, he embodied the glee that all of us felt in our hearts. The Cardinals, once again, are back where they belong: challenging for a pennant, healing all of us who have been injured this tumultuous summer. Giving a nation hope, once again. Hope that the good guys can win.
