MLB Daily Thread: 9/14/2017: "Racism is as American as Baseball" banner at Fenway confuses everyone

[redseat]

No one wants the avi bet? @redseat? Anyone?

Come on guys. It's just for the hell of it. Plus, I'm pretty sure that half the avi bets I win, I never provide an avi for the loser to wear. . .

I didn't see what you posted... What's the bet?

 

[Rock Strongo]

As it stands right now, I agree. We'll see what their last starts bring.

I would add to Kluber's case, 3 shutouts, performance down the stretch and (don't know if voters will consider or not) Sale vs Indians, Kluber vs Red Sox.

yeah klubers got 5 GC and 3 SHO to sales 1 CG

sale averages 6.73 IP per star

kluber averages 7.08 IP per

its a wash in just about every category except starts, K's, SHO and CG.

I think a third of a run of ERA is more than a wash. I'm not saying it's a huge advantage, but it's not a wash. It's about a 12% difference.

Yeah I think right now the IP difference is negated by the ERA difference. Kluber would have to give up 10 runs in 11 IP to have the same ERA and IP as Sale.

Interesting way to look at it.

I like it.

I guess it comes down to how well Sale pitches in his 3 remaining starts vs the Reds





I love upsetting Cereal and Soxfan

This kid the Royals have pitching today isnt a great prospect or anything- but hes been pretty decent of late....5-0 in his last 5 decisions...bout a k an inning during that streak.

Have Tomlin on the hill who is def. the weakest Indians SP.


Tonight will be a tough one.

If they can get through it and get back to the Bauer, Carrasco, Kluber three-some we just might see this streak really start to get crazy though.

I can't wait for 5 years from now, Brady retires and you become a Pats fan.

Oh its gonna happen, my lifelong mission to prove Tom is a plug and play system QB will finally come to fruition!

I look forward to another season of the Eagles making the Giants their bitches. Maybe that will change with the Giants get a non-autistic QB.

Yeah and you wouldn't take Kluber now, add those innings and runs, and say he was a better pitcher and those games had value.

Yeah so this year you've openly rooted for the Orioles to over take the Yankees and in the future you plan on rooting for the Patriots instead of the Giants.

Could be worse, he could root for both the Yanks and Red Sox. I remember there was one dude on ESPN who claimed to root for both teams.

Indians are now World Series favorites according to baseball prospectus, FiveThirtyEight and FanGraphs.

Just barely ahead of the Astros. But hey, the Astros have no chance.

Im a passionate, reactionary fan...Trust me, I realistically never root for anyone to overtake my beloved Yankees

Same with the Giants, but I will enjoy the continued Pats dominance of the AFC Easy, once JG takes the reigns

I really dont know, assuming the Stros staff is lined up for the postseason, who are the 1-2-3 in a series?
