Come on @obxyankeefan, @bksballer89 or @nynasty.

Someone has to step up, right?

Sorry. I can't risk Thurman. He wouldn't understand. He's really grouchy like that.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Easy money for me.

Probably. Indians' bullpen is absolute shit.

So, if Dirt doesn't sack up, you're taking the bet?

From Canton, OH. About 30-40 minutes down the road from me.

Yup. Was super-pissed the Yankees signed Reggie Jackson after George promised him he'd always be the highest paid Yankee while he was on the team, and was pushing hard for a trade to Cleveland to be closer to home.

Then August 2, 1979 happened.

Correct

 

[navamind]

Kluber vs Severino should be a good one. Which means both will get shelled.

You were correct

@DirtDirtDirt

How about a 1-week avi bet on the Yanks/Tribe series? If it's a split, total runs breaks the tie.

I don't have a lot of confidence, and FiveThirtyEight.com only has the Indians favored in Game 4, but fuck it. The Yankees are fags, and you know you love some type of peckers.

Let's do this.

Cant do it bud, I liked this Yankee team at the beginning, now Ive come to the realization they are good, but easily the 4th or 5th best team in the AL in October

They have one solid starter, and he is straight garbage in every big spot he ever pitches in, possibly the games' biggest fraud

And Neal Walker definitely has knowledge that Brian Cashman is a closet serial killer, no other explanation seems plausible

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Good call, although Kluber wont give up another hit

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

JA Happ pummeled for about the 14th start in a row

So jacked to see him in pinstripes

 

[bksballer89]

Aaron Hicks

Let's not make bs up

Postseason 2017

And last start aside, the Red Sox own his ass

Solid, but a lot to prove on the big stage in his career

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Aaron Hicks

@DirtDirtDirt

He's making me look wrong, I admit that

Neal Walker will never make me look wrong, Tyler Wade has the best game of his life, he is fast as lightning, he should never be sitting tonight

 

[bksballer89]

He had 2 good starts.

 

[bksballer89]

Also he's 24 playing for the yankees. I give him a pass for not being dominant in his first ever post season

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

He had 2 good starts.

3.86
4.53

In the 2 series

Not terrible, but this is best pitcher in baseball expectations we have here

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Terry went waaaayyyyyy too far with Kluber there

But I know their pen is in rough shape

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Bad Betances starting to rear its head

Look deeper. Went 7 and only allowed 4 hits in a 7-3 yanks win vs Cleveland. Absolutely huge spot as that was an elimination game.

Allowed 2 hits in 4 ip vs Houston before Girardi pulled him because he thought his shoulder was hurt. Was on his way to a dominant start
