Put the Nats/Pirates/Cubs/Padres/Mets in the AL Cool Fuckers division, nuke the rest from orbit

Only if the Washington Harpers move to Coors Field.

I want the Royals to beat the O's but there's no way they'd have as good a shot at a WS title as Baltimore would against SF/STL...

There is a way, and it's called Love and Hustle.

Gore is guaranteed to get one base when he comes into the game, just like Barry Bonds.

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.

I think Fangraphs' odds are based on their projections going forward, not on the actual stats.

To summarize:
  • Fangraphs thinks the Orioles' starting rotation is the worst in MLB, while the Royals' is above average
  • Fangraphs thinks the two outfields are of similar quality with the bat, but the Royals are ridiculous defensively.
  • Fangraphs thinks Mike Moustakas is really good. I have no explanation for this
  • They do not take Nelson Cruz Playoff Bullshit into account

In conclusion, Dave Cameron is bad.

Did you mean Delmon Young here? I'm not sure Nelson Cruz can have Playoff Bullshit considering he's actually good in the regular season too.

Nelson Cruz's slugging percentage in the playoffs is higher than Babe Ruth's was in his career

The best part of this video is Frankie Frisch bunting for a hit and diving headfirst into first base. Even Hall of Famers do it!

Starting at 2:00 when the "Senators tie the game", the play is a force at first, and the players walk off the field, so, the run crossing the plate does not score. The Senators tied the game on a two-run single. This highlight is loving bullshit. WHERE'S THE RBI SINGLE, OBAMA

That's the double play to end the 9th inning! You can tell because the catcher does a huge fist pump.

Also, despite implying that they are from extra innings, the Walter Johnson highlights are from the 9th inning. They're not even in order!

A 1 PM local NLCS game is kind of criminal.

It was already scheduled for that time! Besides, the real crime is that all Royals games are not in prime time.

Yadier Molina has caught well over 10,000 innings in his career. His CS% over that time is 45%. That would be 2nd best in the majors in 2014, trailing only Yadier Molina.

He's never caught Billy Hamilton though.

Congratulations to the San Francisco Baseball Giants, who ensured we will have 4 consecutive days with no baseball. Thanks a lot.
