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

[DirtDirtDirt]

if the Yankees win the WC game, and beat the Indians in one of Americas' greatest upsets, him and Soxfan have to take my kids to and from school everyday for 2 weeks

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

that's a good question, depending on McCullers' health. Probably Verlander/Keuchel/McCullers and Morton or McHugh as their #4?

Still a pretty solid rotation, and they still have a very good offense. The offense cooled off in the 2nd half, but part of that is Springer and Correa getting hurt.

The Verlander deal could go down as the most important deal of this summer.........No team so desperately needed that move like Astros

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

Every team that makes the postseason has a chance.

FanGraphs is the only one that doesn't have Indians significantly ahead of the Astros. As of yesterday, the Astros were the favorites according to FanGraphs. If you ask me, that shows a pretty significant flaw in their methodology.

Since the ASB, they're 27-29 with a -25 run differential. Their starters' 4.78 ERA ranks 19th, relievers' 5.06 ERA ranks 25th, their offense ranks 19th in RS and positional players 18th in WAR.

best deal going

big Y "make your own lobster roll" 2 pack. 10 beans.

Missed his scheduled start last night.

And if Altuve/Springer/Correa wasn't enough, Bregman's looking like a stud as well.

losing Correa hurt big time. I do wonder if Keuchel's really healthy though, his peripherals have dipped since coming off the DL.

So fucking weird.

I was just looking at a sous vide lobster recipe thinking about making rolls this weekend. It's literally on my screen in another window as I type this.

Hahaha.

I'm jealous. That's a major thing I miss from my time in Boston - the cheap hole in the wall places where you could get amazing lobster dinners for relative peanuts. And yeah, you're right, the seafood as a whole. Damn good.

you know you play in the AL Central, right? two of the worst teams in the AL by record and by overall Wins Above Average are from the Central, not to mention one mediocre Royals team and a meh Twins team. White Sox, Tigers and Twins all rank at the bottom of the AL in pitcher WAA.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Hahaha.
