As opposed to the awesome track record of Mike Friers and Brett Anderson in the postseason

The A's have been a great story, we know how badly you would like the Yankees and Sox to lose, they have a 50/50 chance of knocking off the Yankees, the Red Sox will absolutely pummel that starting staff in a 5 game series

Mike Fiers has made Giancarlo STanton look like a bitch twice now.

But they don't implode like Chris Sale and David Price.

Once again Sale had 1 start in the playoffs ever. Saying a pitcher implodes in the playoffs after 1 single game is ridiculous

His September track record is enough information to pass judgement.

Teheran is a pussy too. But I'm willing to bet that in comparison, Teheran would look like Bumgarner compared to what Sean Newcomb would look like in the post season. Weak minded little bitch, he is.

Not really. I've seen guys pitch poorly in September then pitch completely different in October.

I'll keep on saying it forever. Using 1 game to say a player implodes in the playoffs is dumb

It's all we have to go by, and I don't trust any pitcher that needs rest throughout the season to stay worthwhile.(Looking at Sean Newcomb too)

The only reason the American league has a few teams with over 100 wins is because the talent in the American league is weak with a few teams with over 100 losses. If you have the most wins in the National league but then have 2 other teams in the National league with the same record or a few games behind you where you play each about 20 times a year it can make it a bit harder to hit 100 wins.. Its nice to finish up the season though with a series with one of those teams the Tigers while the Cubs and Cards battle each other

Nah, I get annoyed at the general ignorance of their fans when it comes to the game when it doesn't involve their teams(like the Yankees fan that thought Max Scherzer was Matt Schurzer, or the Red Sox fan that thought Justin Verlander's resurgence was because he moved to the NL), and I enjoy it when they fail, but the only games I've watched involving the Yankees or Red Sox was when they played the Braves, and I'm a guy that will normally watch the nationally televised games when the Braves aren't playing.

I can forgive the misspelling of the last name, but I can't forgive the Matt part. Jeez.

He falls apart in September too. I mean honestly I don't see what other teams aren't seeing with the guy. Braves have roughed him up every time they've saw hom/

All of the 2 starts he's had against them?

You know this based on Mike Fiers 1 inning of post-season pitching?
