2011 MLB Season Discussion: Joey Votto MVP Edition

[Demosthenes11]

I had a terrible thought. If it's the rays/dbacks WS, would anyone even watch? Those ratings would be TERRIBLE.

[Melena]

Wouldn't matter. East coast bias hits every world series. Unless you got the Yanks/Phils/Mets/Red Sox in the World Series, the east coast doesn't give a shit, and according to ESPN only the east coast matters.

[Drunkenmonk]

why is baseball the only game ratings matter? ppl watch the super bowl no matter who the fuck is in it

[Cail]

a bit late, but

Rays over Texas
Yanks over Tigers

D'backs over Brewers
Phillies over Cardinals

Rays over Yanks
Phillies over Dbacks

Phillies over Rays in 7

[Cail]

And a 3-run jack!

[Drunkenmonk]

lol shoppach is only starting for his defense, lolrangers

francona leaving boston is a bigger story than the rangers getting completely wrecked right now

[Cail]

Kelly Fucking Shoppach bitches

[Naafeih]

CJ Wilson is losing himself a lot of money this offseason.

[Alderaan]

Braves fire hitting coach Larry Parrish. About fucking time. It was pretty evident after the first month of the season that something was wrong with Atl's new approach. Last year we worked counts to run up pitch counts on starters and punished bullpens. This year was like watching everyone try and hit 3-run homers with no one on base.

[Man0warr]

CJ saved his worst game of the year for the ALDS.

Really? About time.

i sometimes wonder how the rays would look if manram didnt get nuked in week 1

[Akiyama]

Worse, because without the enhancers, he was shit.

[Cail]

[Cephius]

qft. the part about the pitch counts especially. Not much power last year but iirc we were pretty high in the NL in OBP. not the case this year
