GDT 6/13: Strider, and a Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall

[CyYoung31]

I think Peter M reads this forum while in the booth

Why?

 

[Super]

Ugly series but a series win is a series win.

 

[striker42]

The Tigers played out of their minds this series.

Would be nice if the Marlins lost again so we could get back to a 5 game lead.

The NL as a whole has only 3 legit teams so far and I'm not the biggest believer in Arizona the rest of the year. It's the Braves and Dodgers and a whole bunch of mediocrity to crap.

Having home field advantage over the Dodgers and Diamondbacks is vital, but the 1 seed will really get the tougher opponent most years. The 2 seed will be locked into the NL Central winner against the last team in. Yes, I'm aware the Phillies were the last team in last year, but they underachieve badly almost every year.

 

[Hulavol]

Why?

I have noticed that he says things right after one of us types it in - not all the time, and probably a coincidence, but sometimes he makes a point about something we’ve been debating in the game thread

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

The elephant is a bit late, because I had a long day at work and didn’t have much time to stop.

Anyway, Game 1 elephant

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Game 2 elephant

Yeah, most likely the 1 seed will get AZ or LA in the 1st round. I'd prefer not to see LA in the 1st round, but at least in that scenaro we wouldnt have any afternoon games lol. Same with AZ even.

Jesse says he's fine.

 

[jpack1]

Good DH sweep. Takes some of the sting out of last nights debacle

 

[Hudson2]

Dodged a bullet with Chavez

 

[striker42]

Jesse says he's fine.

It's the power of the hat.

 

[Hulavol]

I was gonna make fun of Chavez for being even more dramatic than Acuna for getting carried off the field and then saying he’s fine in his interview …. But then he explained that while it didn’t actually hurt that bad, that they didn’t want to put any weight on it in case it was broken.
So, a dumbass I am.

 

[USMA76]

Just wondering if elephant rosters are expanded when there's a double header?

 

[Runnin]

The Tigers played out of their minds this series.

They're the lowest scoring team in MLB and they scored on us almost at will.

 

[Hudson2]

Should have been a sweep but I’ll take 2 of 3.

 

[jsebe10]

We need pitching in the worst way gents.

 

[Super]

It was a rough series but Braves pitching is close to the top of every statistical category while missing their cy young candidate and good 4. The pitching isn’t nearly as bad as a lot think.

 

[Carp]

I don't think I've ever seen a hitter as absolutely locked in as Acuna is this year.

I mean Acuna isn't even the best hitter in baseball this year. He's been great, but let's not go overboard.
