MLB Daily Thread: 10/23/17 - AL Central Is The Dick That Stirs tHoop MLB Forums

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Once again, the AL Central posters have proven that we are the dick that stirs tHoop MLB Forum's drink.

As of this post, the series threads (or game threads for the WC games) have received a combined total of 4,423 posts. Despite the ALDS between the Yankees and Indians only representing 16% of the playoff games thus far, its posts -- 1,469 of them -- represent 33+% of the total posts.

That series averaged 294 posts PER GAME. That is more than the Diamondback/Dodgers got for their entire NLDS series.

AL Central: we may suck at baseball, but we fuck you up at tHoop.

I wasn't shocked that the Astros won, but I was shocked that without Verlander or Keuchel they shut the Yankees out.

Great season by the Yankees, for sure, but it had to sting a bit when McCullers and Morton ate their lunch.

Go Dodgers.

Adios, Mickey Calloway. Good luck with the Mets.

Congrats, @Used 2 B Hu, he’s been an amazing pitching coach. Hope he does well at the next level.

Yeah, I don't...get...this

No wait, I think I do. Mets pitchers continue to suck long-term while occasionally posting baffling stretches of competence.

Guess we need a manager who is good with handling a staff?

Astros and Dodgers disagree wholeheartedly

I think just having someone, anyone, at any level in the Mets organization that has demonstrated some sustained competence is a step in the right direction for the team.

Is he one-a-these moneyball guys?

Not really. Former player. Well-liked by players. Produced at least one CY Award (could be two in a few weeks), and some have suggested that the 2017 Cleveland Indians had the best pitching staff of all time. Not too shabby.

We definitely need to do something different INRE: the arms. If he can get a decent half-season out of Matz, Syndergaard, and deGrom, that's better than last season.

I have no other expectations for Zach Wheeler or Matt Harvey.
