[Mr. Enigma]

So the Braves are going with a Gattis/Heyward/J.Upton outfield in the playoffs. Elliot Johnson is also going to be the starting 2B. With Reed Johnson already confirmed, a lot of people are wondering if B.J. Upton is even going to be on the playoff roster.

 

[Dominican Power]

B.J. Upton should have a seat on the bench and reflect on his awful season.

lol damn

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves expected bench will be R.Johnson, Schafer, Janish, Laird, and Uggla. B.Upton expected to be left off roster for NLDS.

Braves will have $13 million in salary on the bench and $15 million in salary not even on the damn roster.

Gonna miss the Giants. They had a rough summer but september looked good. Looking foward to 2014. I hope Dodgers lose in the first round. F LA!!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Is the postseason thread up yet?

 

[brianjones]

kemp is officially shut down for the rest of the season

I wouldn't expect any different from a dirty Giants fan.

Spoiler

This is all in jest.

Oh great. Perfect time for it to happen before a huge series.

We don't want no more Dodger fans dying.

But it's not the postseason yet.

SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT

 

[CygnusXS]

Ethier is injured too hey? I don't know what to expect with this series.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Ethier is injured too hey? I don't know what to expect with this series.

If the Braves starters can match up with theirs and get it to the bullpens, the Braves should have the advantage. But who really knows? I don't know what to expect either. Kemp and Ethier being out helps.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I expect some ugly baseball from both sides.

 

[Dominican Power]

This is an old folks home compared to NFL gaf, jesus.

 

[dmag1223]

Its cool, we were just saving all of our runs for the postseason.

This is an old folks home compared to NFL gaf, jesus.

Gaf hates baseball. Not surprising.

 

[Chris R]

Is TBS going to have a live stream of the game available? Game starts while I'm still at work, would be nice to have it up on my second monitor or at least get the audio going.

 

[CygnusXS]

The new season of Amazing Race starts tonight, and Kim Dejesus is a cast member for any interested parties...

Thats still going ? wow

 

[cube444]

Has it been mentioned yet? I noticed that there wasn't a single MLB player this season with 200 hits.

When's the last that has ever happened?

 

[clemenx]

First since 1995 http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1995-batting-leaders.shtml Dante Bichette and Tony Gwynn with 197 hits

If only Miggy hadn't turned into a walking corpse in September.!

Tomorrow is considered regular season though, and Beltre is within reach if he has a 2-hit game.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Probables for Braves/Dodgers

Game 1: Medlen vs. Kershaw
Game 2: Minor vs. Greinke
Game 3: Teheran vs. Ryu

Thanks. Interesting info.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Kemp said his ankle injury is such that if he keeps playing on it, he could break it like what happened to Jeter last year.

 

[CygnusXS]

Just looked over the whole playoff schedule, feels so spaced out. The Wildcard games have to be on separate days? And there's so much time between the end of the NLCS and WS.

Nothing new I guess, except the WC stuff, but still frustrating.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Mattingly: If the Dodgers carry Andre Either on the NLDS roster, he will only be used as a pinch-hitter

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Projected Braves/Dodgers lineups

Braves
1. Jason Heyward - CF
2. Justin Upton - RF
3. Freddie Freeman - 1B
4. Evan Gattis - LF
5. Brian McCann - C
6. Chris Johnson - 3B
7. Andrelton Simmons - SS
8. Elliot Johnson - 2B

Dodgers
1. Yasiel Puig - RF
2. Carl Crawford - LF
3. Adrian Gonzalez - 1B
4. Hanley Ramirez - SS
5. Mark Ellis - 2B
6. Juan Uribe - 3B
7. A.J. Ellis - C
8. Skip Schumaker - CF

Van Slyke gonna reverse the role of 92!!!!

J/k.. Ethier has bad ankle but may play


E: we got Beard man pitching in the 8th inning this time. Not bellishitto

 

[Dominican Power]

Pirates/Dodgers NLCS.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Wilson's career numbers against the Braves:

0-2 with a 4.05 ERA in 12 appearances. 6 ER in 13.1 innings. 5 saves in 7 chances, including a blown save in Game 2 of the 2010 NLDS.

 

[TheSadRanger]

So after this season TBS and TNT will lose their broadcasting contract for the playoffs and next year they'll be on Fox Sports 1 right?

TBS shits all over FOX

 

[Mr. Enigma]

MLB signed extensions with ESPN. FOX, and TBS last season. TBS has postseason rights through 2021.

One of the rules of the new extension with FOX is that Saturday FOX games are no longer blacked out on MLB.TV as long as the game is not in someone's geographic blackout location.

well, the Yankee era is over (kinda was for a while but..)
with mariano and Andy retiring and Jeter a walking corpse this particular era is over.
now hopefully a new one will begin.

 

[DeceitDecide]

So would it be too much of a knee-jerk reaction on my part to begin assuming that Kemp is a former PED user? I mean... how else are we supposed to look at this now?

He's just made of glass.

Our farm system was terrible this past season and with the $189 mill budget for 2014, I don't like their future. We're going to be bad,

That was with the Giants. Who cares about stats coming from that shit team.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Oue farm system was terrible this past season and with the $189 mill budget for 2014, I don't like their future. We're going to be bad,

Think Jeter might give up playing short and move to 1B or DH? What's the deal with Youkilis coming off of surgery.

 

[CygnusXS]

Are you comfortable with multiple years of losing, with the outcome being a restocked farm system?

 

[Malo]

Texieria will be back next season, so first base is out of the question, and he should play the majority at DH and some games here and there at SS. Yankees need to find a full time SS this upcoming off-season.

Youk was signed to a one year deal and he'll be a free agent. He won't be back.

can't be good forever.

I am. unfortunately I do not own season tickets and many, many, many idiotic mouth breathing Yankee fans do and pressure from them may ( I say may) make the front office do rash decisions.

 

[jbug617]

Other than the injuries for the Yanks, the thing that shocked me was CC's bad year

 

[Malo]

Are you comfortable with multiple years of losing, with the outcome being a restocked farm system?

I would be completely fine with this and the process shouldn't be as long for them since we have a shit ton of money.

can't be good forever.

I would welcome a tank.

 

[CygnusXS]

The Cubs and Dodgers are already running the international market. If the Yankees started to invest at a similar rate... makes me kind of glad about the international spending pool limit.

That's one place they fucked up. They should have had IFA on lock before the limit was implemented.

 

[Dominican Power]

You act like The Yankees don't have money like these other teams that tank. Hopefully A Rod serves the full 200+ games.

Strikeouts. Lots of Strikeouts.

Is there a way to search by historical team totals for most 2-out RBIs on baseballreference? The website still confuses my puny brain.

You're not the only one. I still don't have a fucking clue how to use that search index.
