Series Thread: ALDS: New York Yankees vs Cleveland Indians

I don't know who the MVP is but using a 4 game sample size in a sport where they play 162 isn't too smart

Especially seeing how Cleveland's MVP candidate hasn't shown up in this series either.

I'm just taking a job at the media in general. I can't see Judge winning MVP as much as he strikes out.

Yeah that argument is so stupid. I think it was sarcasm (at least i hope it was) because he is a really good poster. Altuve likely wins the MVP but these 4 games in the playoffs doesn't prove anything in relation to who should win the AL MVP

Michael Brantley sucks

Judge killed his chance with the two month slump he went on.

But along with the Strikeouts. In AL rankings #1 in HRs #1 in Runs #2 in RBIs #1 in Walks #2 in slugging #2 in On Base % #2 in OPS #2 in WAR #3 in offensive WAR. Those numbers more then make up for the strikeouts.

IMO the MVP vote goes
Ramirez
Altuve
Judge

This umpire has a pretty liberal strikezone, I see.

I agree. If he hadn't gone on that slump, he'd easily be MVP. Maybe even Triple Crown winner.

Yankees strike first blood.

Yep typical choking Indians, error then a passed ball leads to a run. Giving it to them.

Altuve hit .346. Judge would have had to go bonkers to catch up to him. And unless Judge continues to cut down on K's and improve his contact skills, he's probably not hitting much higher than .284.

Still too early to call it choking, I think. Plenty of time for the Indians batters to explode.

They are going up trying to kill the ball in every AB, that's going to lead to a whole lot of strikeouts and a whole little of hits.

True. I wonder what his batting average would have been if not for that slump.

Sounds like the 2013 Braves.

If we're going to bring up "what ifs", then we need to bring up Trout. He was having a historical offensive year until he got hurt.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He fucking went lmao. That was not a check swing

 

[obxyankeefan]

I like the way this game is starting.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Not a good night for Bauer.

 

[osubuckeye89]

Bullshit.

These schlubs arent scoring tonight. This ones over.

I haven't gotten enough chances to watch the postseason so far, so I would appreciate a Game 5 for this series.
