Oh it's my fault, I forgot to make a donation pledge. $5 for every Cubs hit the rest of the series like last one. Hope the karmic scales shift now.

I still haven't fully processed this in my head yet.

I didn't see it mentioned but Hendricks had three pickoffs in the postseason this season, with two coming in the world series. When is the last time either of those things happened?

E: Just off the top of my head I'd expect Carlton had more but I doubt he ever logged as many innings as Hendricks in a single postseason, given the different eras.
E2: Nope, Carlton never had 3 in one postseason or two in a World Series. Pettite did in 2000 though. One in the LCS, two in the World Series.

Awesome, thanks for the lookup. Should've figured Pettitte would be up there.

I can see voting for Porcello over Verlander because it's really close, but not putting Verlander on at all just makes no sense unless they're voting Porcello/Happ/Kluber entirely based on ~winz~

One went Porcello/Kluber/Happ/Britton/Sanchez, the other went Porcello/Britton/Kluber/Sale/Tanaka (??????????)

He's 2000 hits away lmao. That's not how 'locks' work.

The question was if somebody's going to do it before Trout (after Cano/Cabrera/Beltre/Pujols/Beltran), and Trout is further away than Altuve

Will he be the next former Arizona Fall League MVP Dustin Ackley, or the next former Arizona Fall League MVP Kris Bryant?

Or he could just be the next former Arizona Fall League MVP Tommy Hanson and die.

I will never understand how anyone could prefer their team winning one incredibly specific configuration of 11-12 games over many years of watching them win 80s to 90s of games, but I actually like baseball so

the playoffs, just an incredibly specific configuration of games and nothing more
