Just saw this on Reddit:

"Yu Darvish now has more RBI in the NLCS than the Nationals do in their history."

Ouch.

If the Yanks win today, whatta you guys think of the Astros chances of taking 2 at the Juice Box?

Tell ya one thing, the Stros bats best come alive or it's curtains. And this would suit me to a T.

There are 4 possible outcomes, and none of them would surprise me.

I know the traditionalist way of thinking is that Houston is throwing out two aces in a row, including one at home, so the odds should be stacked in their favor. But all of that means jack shit.

My gut feeling is that whoever wins tonight takes the series.

And Crawler magic prevails. Yanks win

Dodgers to the Series. Let's go Yu!

 

[Nightcrawler]

Gonna be hard to take out the Astros tonight.

Verlander has been amazing for them.

CC will be tough in game 7

Wonder if Yanks overworked him

He did not look good

Don't fail us now NC. You're our last line of defense. Spread some more magic.

You fought a good fight. LOL. Now what? I can not root for the Dodgers.

I have too

Even tho they’re major douchebags.

Reid Ryan is a bigger fucktard. That classless idiot tried to make us look bad for not swapping series. Spoiled little twit wouldn’t even have that job if it wasn’t for his daddy. I don’t want that man to enjoy any championships or baseball success, it’s too late for the success part, but maybe he won’t get a World Series. The dodgers can help with that.

 

[donaldson79]

Goooooooooo Dodgers! And doesn't it seem amazing they haven't been to a WS since 1988?

 

[DT LUNA]

Dodgers announced WS rotation same as the NLCS

The point remains, but I'm not sure how you measure the "aggressiveness" of using analytics.

I recall the Astros being the team who uses the most shifts or aligning their fielders according to each hitters tendencies

I just read a (web-translated) Yahoo Japan interview with Darvish. From what I could gather, he was hoping that Houston would be the AL opponent in the World Series, so that winning the championship with LA would be that much better. Meaning, he still views them as a rival from his days as a Ranger.

The World Series starts today with record heat for a World Series game in Los Angeles of all places.

And it's frigging hot no matter who's doing the measuring. Don't see how this benefits one team vs the other though.
