Savage Henry Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 This is going to be a sweep. The Dodgers are just a far better team all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Surprised at Girardi getting the tin tack given how promising their farm is looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Uh-huh. Still think the Dodgers will win the series!Alex Wood is in a tough spot in game 4 though, as the Dodgers bullpen is pretty much spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought teams weren’t allowed to make announcements like this during the World Series?I’m also pretty surprised. He’ll catch on somewhere else soon enough.

David W Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I get the feeling the Astros will win 4-2, or the Dodgers will win 4-3. Still think it's quite open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Incredible series. Would back the Astros behind Verlander tonight, but it feels like the kind of series that should go to 7 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Astros win it. Yu Darvish gets pummelled again. Congratulations to the Astros. That team is about to get mighty expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiJock Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Pretty happy with an Astros win - they beat the Red-Sox, Yankees and Dodgers to get it done i.e. the 3 highest payroll teams in baseball. Feel a bit sorry for Kershaw not getting a ring though. Could end up being one of the greatest pitchers ever without winning the whole thing. Given Kershaw was obviously happy to throw 4 innings last night - why didn't they let him start the game? Darvish had already crapped the bed before Kershaw got involved, so why not play your ace from the start and see how long he can last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The statistics show that pitchers on short rest are generally less effective. Ideally they wouldn't have needed to go to Kershaw but Darvish not lasting two innings kind of forced their hand. Overall I enjoyed this series. The key for me were the Number 3 starters. Darvish was very poor twice and while Lance McCullers wasn't great he was a bit better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Roy Halladay has died at the age of 40 in a plane crash. Absolutely gutting news. Horribly sad news.

calum_gers Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Really sad news. I only got into Baseball in 2010 and his no hitter against the Reds was one of the first games I watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Chris Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Was absolutely devastated when I heard the news yesterday. Halladay has always been a hero of mine and I couldn't have been happier when he signed for the Phillies. Really emotional listening to 975 The Fanatic yesterday and today with no end of heart wrenching strories from callers. I have signed baseball that will be even more special now. An absolutely amazing guy and an outrageously talented pitcher. He's the type that every sportsman should aspire to be. A real loss to the world.
