MLB Playoffs

Winning in the playoffs: And yes, it's different than winning in the regular season.

Hitting: You want guys who work counts, who don't swing at bad pitches, and most of all guys who can hit good pitching. You're just not going to see all that many bad pitches at this point. Make the pitcher throw strikes.

Pitching: Good stuff. I've seen way too many times where a pitcher who gets by w/ location gets rocked in the postseason. Those batters who swing at sliders outside the zone get fewer and fewer the further along you get in the playoffs. You really need guys who throw gas. Guys who hit 96 and higher w/ movement. There's just no replacing fastballs w/ movement.

At the end of WS, what did the Astros go to last season? Peacock and Morton, two guys who have great stuff, pitchers that are just hard to hit.

Why? Because at that point, there are simply too many hitters who are going to wait out the Gregersons and Fiers and other location pitchers.

Yankees putting in a catcher to pitch the 9th inning. Love it!

The Sox need to finish them off tomorrow night, to save Sale for the Astros, but it will be a tall order vs CC.
 
The Yankees/Red Sox game has turned to crap... Might as well watch "Halloween Baking Championship" on The Food Network.
Yeah, Mike... both, WSH/NO and this game were blowouts. I decided to leave it on this game. When Holt hit the double, the announcers said he was a homer short of the cycle and I decided to stop going back and forth.

I don't know about that "Halloween Baking Championship" tho, LOL! Bless your heart :) I love Chopped, tho!

Watching the baking championship now :lmao:
 
How 'bout them Yankees? Oh wait.:muttley:

It was a great run @Sarek . Better than my pathetic Phillies lol. But I said waaaaay back when that Boston WILL be the next WS champs. And I'm sticking to it. That includes you homer Stros fans @RGV_C_Los & @MichaelWinicki .:p

The Red Sox are definitely a force but they still need to get by the Yankees.

I’m just happy my Stros have lucked into the ALCS. :cool: Hopefully our luck hasn’t run out

How exactly did they “luck into the ALCS?”
