MLB Daily Thread: 10-12-17: Yanks complete comeback; Strasburg force cubs to game 5

[Rock Strongo]

yeah. broncos have 4 picks and a TD on D, no FR.

ravens have 9 picks and a TD on D, and 3 FR

 

[redseat]

Your boys didn't do your job. Would have been great to kick your ass

Honestly had no confidence they would after that stinker of game 1

 

[The Q]

Didn't see Kluber throwing like crap at home, twice.

But he's not gotten hammered in 2 elimination games in a row.

Chances of winning the WS, from best to worse:
Dodgers
Fraudkees
Astros
Cubs
Nationals

I like the way the Fraudkees have their starting pitching lined up.
The Astros starting pitching is a question mark after Verlander.
Keuchel had a good game against the Red Sox but generally, he's been mediocre since returning for the DL. Peacock is a wild card. He under-performed against the Red Sox. Hard to say if that was just an isolated incident or if he's going to be a playoff choker.
Morton is too inconsistent. When his curve and sinker are both working, he's as good as any starting pitcher in the playoffs. But you never know when he's going to be on.

So, I think the Astros lose, but this series will also show why Altuve is the regular season MVP, and not Wynona Judge.

Do I start Newton this week?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

a lil help

broncos D at home vs the awful giants, who are holding WR tryouts at a local high school

or

Ravens D at home vs Chicago, with a rookie at QB

Nice choices, Id have to go with Denver at this point

Good call

Of course Im terrified of that Astros lineup, but after facing this Indians staff, especially those power arms in the pen, I think they really could do some scoring vs this Astros staff
