Great matchup tonight in The Bronx, with RA Dickfister going up against a pitcher that was just called up for the fifth time this season. Expect HR balls to land in Jersey.

1 run total through 6

You are not going to win many games leaving 14 runners on base and going 2 for 18 RISP.

Kimbrel's last few games have probably taken a few years off my life. I don't know why batters swing sometimes. He doesn't throw it in the strike zone all that often.

Betances is no Miller or Chapman when it comes to easy 9th innings

1st and 3rd with one out.

Betances has proven a few times that he will be one of the best Setup men to ever play, but he should not be an everyday Closer.

Baseball playoffs is very unpredictable. The only team from the AL East that I feel safe saying they don't win the WS is the O's because they're shit on the road

With the Yankees win over the Jays and Boston win over Cleveland, 1 game now separates 1st and 3rd in the AL East.

Kinda odd to see a 2 game set at this point of the season between 2 teams from the same division but that's what we have tmr and wed with the Sox and O's.

Baltimore is in the midst of a brutal stretch beginning over the weekend in San Fran. The next time they play a team with a losing record is on labor day when they play the Rays. They play 2 vs Boston, 4 vs Houston, 4 vs Washington, 6 vs the Yankees, and 3 vs the Blue Jays over the next 26 days

The O's play decent on the road if you take out the AL West (4-14 vs the AL West, 23-20 vs everyone else).

We are all poorer from watching that god-awful game.

10-13 on the road vs. AL East opponents. Basically they're good against the AL Central. That...that isn't good.

6-2 in interleague vs. NL West teams though, so if they get Detroit-Cleveland-LA in the playoffs fuck they might just have a shot. Maybe I'll win Powerball, too.

Toronto isn't much better on the road vs AL East teams, they are currently 12-12.

Toronto at home vs the AL East, 15-10

Baltimore at home vs the AL East, 16-6

Not sure what Toronto's road record vs. the AL East has to do with someone falsely claiming the O's are a good road team but thanks for the stat blast

He didn't say good, he said decent.

If u take out the bad part u can make any team look good

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

He didn't say good, he said decent.

He was arguing against the statement "they're shit on the road". Having a losing road record against 2 of the 3 divisions in your own league is kinda the definition of shit.

And since you brought it up, I think the Jays suck on the road too.
