Which, if you recall, was done to spite the yankees

Sandy Alderson, take a victory lap

100%, you know i said it when it happened

The Mets should raise their 3rd banner when the Indians win it all

Or the Red Sox

Or the Rays

I didn't say that no team could beat them in the playoffs. I said the Dbacks and Rockies couldn't, and I reminded a poster who won the series between Washington and Los Angeles last year.

I see. So your statement was slightly less retarded than I remembered it.

It's not retarded at all. We can bet on it if you like. 1 month avi bet, I lose if the Dbacks or Rockies eliminate the Dodgers.

Nah has nothing to do with fielding. Fangraphs WAR relies heavily on "fielding independent" numbers. Sale has a .298 BABIP while Kluber a .264 so fangraphs is arguing that Kluber is benefiting from better fielding behind him, hence the lower ERA.

So it's based on BABIP, which can fluctuate wildly year to year. Smells like bullshit to me, bro.

ALDS 5 or 7 games?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

That be "reciprocal," not "matching," you ESL motherfucker.

Le tabernac!

To say that there's no way the Rockies or Diamondbacks could beat the Dodgers in a playoff series is retarded.

The opposite of that is not "the Rockies or Diamond backs will eliminate the Dodgers from the playoffs," so your proposed bet has little relevance.

5. Even a 7-game series is short relative to a 162-game season, so I don't see much difference. Playoffs are long enough as it is.

I dont know why I thought they changed that

5 games actually works to the underdogs advantage, but I still hate it

Nice of him to volunteer as the example demonstrating the effects of CTE.

Just because BABIP fluctuates with individual pitchers year to year doesn't mean that it's bullshit. The league average BABIP doesn't fluctuate too much even going from high-offensive to low-offensive eras.

Ah. I thought you were asking what we thought it should be.

So what is it 5 or 7 Mother Fucker? (I figured we may as well start hating each other now before the war in a couple of weeks)
