Series Thread: World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Houston Astros

[PolarVortex]

I got nothing

Maybe it isn't a pattern. Maybe it is a patterns of sorts.
Price was the last pitcher to throw 220 or more innings in the regular season. Going higher in increments of 10...

lolz

You're eager to double down on the stupid, huh?

That was also a question, Obama.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

That was also a question, Obama.

Keep digging.

Why do you have such a hard time admitting you've said something stupid and/or wrong?

What are the Indians bullpen pitchers doing right now?

So he's listed twice because he got to 220 and 230?

 

[navamind]

IMO the best WS matchup since at least 2004. Maybe '95. You have two 100+ win teams, one with a 127 OPS+ and one with a 124 ERA+.

Is it insecurity, or what? Have you ever thought about it?

Don't answer a question with a question. This is sports, not politics.

LOL

Yes.

 

[PolarVortex]

Not, a question. You are finally on the right track.

Wish we could say the same for you, sport.

Wish we could say the same for you, sport.

'Sport'? What is this, The Santa Clause?

"Astros' bullpen is built for the postseason"

"Astros reached the World Series on the strength of their bullpen"

"Indians lost the ALDS due to lack of bullpen strength/depth"

"Astros bullpen is clearly better than Indians bullpen because one team is still playing baseball"

-Retards

 

[soxfan1468927]

Yes.

Okay I get it. Good one. I like it.

 

[PolarVortex]

Okay I get it. Good one. I like it.

I like the obscure stuff. Like:
Which 100 RBI guy had the fewest homeruns?
Which 20-game winner threw the fewest innings?
Which pitcher won the highest percentage of his team's win (probably Carlton).
Did the public fascination with Babe Ruth cause more players to want the attention which ultimately triggered the era of the power hitter or were there other factors at play (baseball construction, change in ballpark fence distances)
How many times has a right-handed hitter lead the majors in intentional walks versus a left handed hitter. My guess is that LH hitters dominated this stat more before the evolution of the modern bullpen when lefty specialists basically did not exist.

Who said the last three sentences? Francona?

1. Lave Cross had 108 RBI without hitting a HR in 1902.
2. Jered Weaver holds that record with 188.2 IP in 2012.
3. It is Carlton in 1972 and it isn't close. Won 45.8% of his team's wins. Second place is Gaylord Perry, also in 1972, who won 33.3%.
4. Not numbers, does not compute.
5. Intentional walks started to be tracked in 1955. Since then, 32 times the league leader has been a lefty, 29 times it has been a righty, and 6 times it has been a switch hitter (although should be noted that 5 of those 6 switch hitters had at least double the intentional walks as a lefty than a righty).

Leaning towards Dodgers in 6.

Not sure how the heat and wind plays out and who that favors.

I'm tapped out. I'll bring more tomorrow.
Some of he more outlandish rumors piqué my too:
Did Wade Boggs really consume 67 beers on a cross country flight as the rumor goes. I need to look this up on SNOPES. From a medical science standpoint, you would think that he would have died from alcohol poisoning.
