Kershaw is a regular season Hall of Fame. PERIOD.

Yay! All the games went my way yesterday and the dog-ass Yankees have been eliminated.
:cool: |

Kershaw is the WORST starter to use out of the pen, postseason or otherwise. Even at this point in his career he is much more vulnerable early in his starts then once he gets rolling. What could possibly suggest that's a guy you want coming out of the pen.
Frankly I would rather have seen him start tonight than come out of the pen yesterday. |

The decision to pitch him in relief in a still winnable game may be the second worst decision ever made. The decision to bring him back for the 8th was the worst decision ever made. Far worse than Grady Little leaving Pedro in. I would have fired Roberts on the spot if I controlled the Dodgers. Right there, in the middle of the game. Absolutely, unequivocally, inexcusable.

To be precise, he has started 32 postseason games and pitched in 40 total. His ERA is now ..... wait for it .... 4.63. FOUR POINT SIX THREE, you read that right. More that two full points higher than his regular season ERA. |

Ted Williams was a “Mr Regular Season “, man tough crowd especially for a player whose career lasted from 1939-1960. Think he played in 1 post season series 6 games and went 5 for 25. Amazing Boston had so few appearances all those years.
|
In all seriousness, I'd be curious to see how many hits Ted Williams had in pressure-less games -- perhaps defined as games where the Red Sox were more than 5 games out of first place in the final third of the season. Or, similarly, how many home runs Mike Trout has had in similar games. There should be a premium for performance under pressure, which (unfortunately) would elevate players like Jeter.

Well that was one of the worst plays in the history of postseason baseball.

Hate to see games end like that.
Hats off to the Phillies. Every at bat with them is like that knife fight in the movie Eastern Promises. This was the best series so far. |

The kid did his best. Hope Phillies Nation supports him.

I'm very disappointed to see the Phillies go down in that fashion.

To the top of the 15h. Taking out a dominant Skubal after only 6 may cost the Tigers a trip to the next round.

Great win for Seattle and their long suffering fans.

Should've let Flaherty go another inning.

MLB Playoffs
Now THAT was playoff baseball! I had no rooting interest in Seattle/Det so it
was simply fun to watch. What a game! Trent King |
Now that the Red Sox and Tigers are out, and the Yankees have joined them on the golf course for the winter, I don't have a particular preference who wins it all, though I guess it would be nice for one of the teams who hasn't won it yet to pull through.

Thank you Seattle for knocking the Tigers out. Their legacy will be blowing the largest divisional lead in MLB history and losing back to back ALDS Game 5s with Skubal on the mound.
Sincerely, Cleveland fans |
really good game to watch hopefully Chi-Brewers comes close today. Thought Skubaul at 99 pitches would start the 7’th would like to hear that conversation and the thought process. Sox long gone so hoping for ANYONE other than L A.

The analytics may say otherwise. My experience says do not take out a starter with command (2 hits, 13Ks) unless he or his catcher tell you he's spent. Seen this movie so many times.

While I'm very disappointed with the Tigers loss, I have to admit that they haven't been playing pennant winning caliber baseball since the All-Star break. :( |

"Easy decision," Hinch said. "After the fifth (inning), I checked in on him — how he was doing physically and emotionally. We both knew that he had one (inning) left. He emptied his tank and was emotional coming off the mound, and I think that signals exactly where we were in the game. He gave us everything he could. He's pitched on regular rest now three or four starts in a row. He empties his tank from pitch one. It was an easy decision." |
Brewers -- Dodgers should be fun. It will be interesting to see if they can keep Ohtani bottled up. He had an OPS of 1.066 in 22 ABs this year against their pitching (versus a .626 OPS against the Cubs).

I loathe New York as well, but I'm not sure what they or anyone has to do with taking Indians from me. With that being said, really hoping the Brewers beat the Dodgers as the final middle finger to the criminal payroll cabal. Looking forward to keeping this rivalry going next year, and congrats on a fun season that saw Detroit's first playoff series win in quite some time. |

The Indians were my favourite American League team edging out the Oakland Athletics for about fifty years. Now that both those teams are gone the Detroit Tigers have moved into my #1 slot. :( |

Really hope Seattle pulls it off.Sucks Griffey or Ichiro did't win a ring with them.

Blake Snell is nasty. Very very nasty.
