The O's were quite a bit better than both of them in the regular season but, well, ya know.

Fear not, Victims of Widespread Institutional Racism, a baseball team that wins a lot has won some more. Your trouble is over.

Chip Hale(??) is the new D-Backs manager.

Bench coach for the A's. Bob Melvin is generally pretty good so if he picked up any of that it seems like it could be a good hire. On the surface hiring an A's coach seems very contrary to the current D-Backs gritheartscraptoughness thing, but remember that Ron Washington used to work for Oakland too. And he's a grown man going by "Chip" which is scrappy as gently caress.

How gritty is Chip Kelly

Your instinct would say no because of the shotgun spread thing, but he runs the ball a ton, uses lots of old school wing-t plays, and refuses to let his players take a break ever. That all seems very gritty and scrappy to me.

A 1 PM local NLCS game is kind of criminal.

You have the times backwards for Wednesday I think. But the game tomorrow is at 1 PM SF time, which is indeed pretty lovely.

AJP has been virtually the same hitteras 2nd half Yadi. I guess that says more about the lovely offense than anything else, but AJP 6th is fine if Yadi 6th was.

e: what the hell, Oscar Taveras still isn't playing ahead of Grichuk.

HE LITERALLY DID THE BEST THING POSSIBLE IN HIS ONLY PLATE APPEARANCE THIS SERIES

He has not Earned Mike Matheny's Trust.

Just be happy he isn't still starting Kozma or Descalso over Wong, because you know he wants to.

But Colin Cowherd doesn't want new teams involved! He reads the numbers!

Hot take, Colin.

oh man colin cowherd said a dumb thing i can't believe it that never happens

Why even listen to a thing you know will make you mad? That is literally his entire purpose. It is not interesting in the slightest when he does it.

Man if you're rooting against the royals because they don't make sabermetrically smart baseball moves you're a dang dweeb

Lots of Royals fans hate the Cards for all the reasons everyone else hates the Cards magnified by actually having to live near them and experience The Best Fans In Baseball first hand rather than through Twitter. Cards fans seem to be largely indifferent unless they're still really pissed about Don Denkinger. There is only so much time in the day to hate on historically inept franchises and that role is filled by the Cubs.

The call put a dude on base but it would have just been one out and they still had a lead at the time after it anyway. They had to gently caress up a bunch of stuff to lose that game. The call just gets blown up because Cardinals fans.
