It doesn't really ever rain in San Diego. This is more rare than a snow storm in Texas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Melvin will send Hader out, but would be tempting to leave Suarez in against Betts...until he gives up a base runner. Then again, probably not even considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) 8~15 the final head to head season record between the two teams... Overexposure of the Goose mascot from earlier in the series will get annoying. Edited October 16, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, Padres guaranteed at least two and as many as four more home games after going 24 years since last winning a home playoff game. AL team unless CLE is going to be a massive favorite in the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Fatal flaw in Andrew Friedman strategy…saw it with the Rays as well, with starting pitchers famously limited (see Blake Snell in 2000) and bullpens exposed. https://www.yahoo.com/news/hern-ndez-blame-andrew-friedmans-064220812.html With Buehler, May, Treinen and Kimbrel sidelined or ineffective…a lot of the weaknesses were exposed when you lack the set 7-8-9 lineup of relievers like the Padres now have going with Garcia, Suarez and Hader. The Rays, for their part, have famously been unable to spend money for elite closers, having to rely almost completely on their farm system and reclamation projects.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I recall having a discussion with some here earlier this year and they were saying how big of an advantage it was to earn a top 2 seed under the new playoff format. And yet it appears we could very well only have just 1 of the top 2 seeds advance beyond the divisional round. So much for that big advantage… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for that big advantage… Really does seem like shutting things down that time of the year isn’t that beneficial for hitters’ timing…unless your pitching staff is really beaten up and needs some rest, there’s no advantage, except for the unflappable Astros’ machine.

My entire argument was based on (1) home field advantage isn’t that important in baseball and (2) baseball is a game of rhythm and routine, rest doesn’t benefit a player anywhere near a sport such as football.

White Sox Park Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I was bummed when the Astros won, and turned it off . now, I have to watch the other games from last night . I cannot believe the Padres beat the Dodgers!!! . everyone I know, said the Dodgers were unbeatable, heh . and crazy that the Guardians got 3 in the 9th . would enjoy a Philly-Cleveland World Series . I guess it's like they say, just get in and anything can happen . wonder if we ever get back in, in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I’m not normally one to question anything the dodgers do but deciding this season that Trayce Thompson and Craig Kimbrel are integral pieces was questionable at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
