I’d rather get swept in the first round than have a PTSD flashback every time I see a fly ball to right field

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah unfortunately the Marlins’ two best starters are shut down (Sandy and Eury Perez). The Phillies got owned by guys like Tylor Megill this year, Marlins' starters just have to get to the 7th or 8th inning. Phillies starters, as a custom, give up early leads.

My "nobody is reading this poo poo" list The "never won before" automatic top group. Sorry, GOMESers - the Brewers are up this high only for that reason and the Pilots connection would make me insist that Seattle kinda actually did win a world series if you squint stupidly enough. Rays Brewers Rangers Hell yeah, 1983 rematch. I was rooting for the Wheeze Kids hard, but nope. 11 year old me was sad. Phillies Orioles Yeah, whatever. Jays have cool players, Blue Jays The "stop making immaculate grids so hard" group. Diamondbacks Marlins I really don't want to hear about it at work and I hope the streak goes on forever. Twins Don't care / Won too recently / Racist poo poo can't overcome how rad the players are. Dodgers Braves Astros

I think in these turbulent and uncertain times, people need something they can count on, and that's another Houston Astros championship My second choice is nobody, if Houston gets bounced I hope everyone in the league dies.

I’m being greedy wanting the O’s to win because I got to enjoy the Nats’ WS four years ago, but my general rooting hierarchy is for a team who has never won or is in a very long drought. Baseball is awesome and usually heartbreaking and everyone here should get to experience the joy of a season where that doesn’t happen once in their adulthoods.

The Brewers are innocuous enough as a franchise but they’re unwatchable with Counsell at the helm and I hope they are swiftly dispatched. Rays are probably the most overall hateable team in the field this year

Actually you know what, “hateable” is always kind of a cop out. I’ll just say flat out that I, as an individual, hate the Rays more than any other team.

Brewers ended the year with a 93 OPS+, they're probably the most one-sided team in the playoffs.

The Orioles are also acceptable since they're just the baby Astros with all of Lunhow's disciples in the FO. Mike Elias built a super team with the Astros and left right after they lost the 2018 ALCS. I guess this applies to the Brewers too, but Stearns left before it got good.

No one in this set really moves me either way besides the Astros and Braves. And I mean as much as I don’t like the Braves if they won it would be well earned. I tell myself I don’t like the Diamondbacks but I don’t really care. I tell myself I do like the Dodgers but I don’t really care. I have no ill feelings to Tampa Bay as long as my team isn’t playing in that stadium. So yeah. I dunno. No Astros but everyone else whatever. Edit: I guess I sorta dislike Toronto? But I didn’t even think about it so it’s clearly not that much. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Oct 2, 2023 |

Current status of the Dodgers 2023 IP leaders: Clayton Kershaw - 131.2 - unspecified shoulder issue and acute case of old-body-itis. Game 1 starter. Bobby Miller - 124.1 - rookie Julio Urias - 117.1 - arrested for felony DV Tony Gonsolin - 103.0 - TJS Michael Grove - 69 - rookie with a 6+ ERA and negative WAR Brusdar Graterol - 67.1 - somehow sporting a 1.20 ERA with just 6.4 K/9 out of the bullpen Lance Lynn - 64 - 2.3 HR/9 The Dodgers will attempt to survive the October gauntlet with only 2 starting pitchers. Instead of peak Scherzer/Strasburg, or Johnson/Schilling, they'll use the dying husk of Kershaw and a 24 year old rookie. Feeling great about October, what could possibly go wrong?? bawfuls fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Oct 2, 2023 |
