Totally agree

Baez has more homers(34) than walks(28) and has a .324 on-base

But hes been the media's darling since the 2016 playoffs

Ive never thought of him as a mvp candidate, but hes always mentioned

Last week rosenthal said he was leaning baez
Very excited for every broadcaster this postseason to tell us how well he applies tags.

Max Scherzer was going to pitch Sunday if the game meant something
Well with the dodgers winning and rockies losing. Tomorrow means something! The west is on the line

But after the game the nats announced Max wont pitch!

Bullshit!

Roxkies get to take it easy all week. The phils didnt even try, the dbacks didnt try and the nats say nah max wont pitch

Meanwhile you have the dodgers opponents literally changing their rotations around to have robbie ray and madbum pitxh vs us


Fuck MLB. This is why im not a fan of MLB anymore. Dodgers only. Fuck the rest

Wait... they were going to pitch him against the Rockies if the Rockies could be eliminated.

Not sure what you're complaining about.

I would leave the decision to Max.  If its his normal turn and he wants the ball, give it to him.

Sabathia was suspended 5 games for hitting Jesus Sucre in the butt after his catcher was thrown at.  Where I agree that baseball needs to maintain safety for the players, CC did it right.  I have absolutely no problem with retaliation, if the pitch is below the shoulders.  CC did it the way it should be done and his teammates know he has their back.

i just dislike that the suspension is effective for next year, and not for the post season

whats even the point of suspending him then? Missing one start in April is nothing

I agree.  Suspensions should be served during the season they are handed out.  If he were to miss a playoff start, it would affect his team a whole lot more than missing an April start next year.

But since Dodgers and Rockies both clinched they're not starting Max

As if today doesn't mean something. Nobody wants a game 163 the day before the wild card game

Dodgers should've won one more game though
It's their fault

Rockies for sure are winning today

We'll see if the dodgers do

He wouldn't even miss a playoff start. Just would be pushed back to Game 4 or 5

Anyways, CC sacrificed a 500K bonus by hitting the guy, which is probably worse

my point is... if today mattered and a top 5 pitcher went against the rockies you wouldn't complain. But today doesnt matter so why are you complaining?

Both tiebreakers are going to be lame compared to regular winner take all games. All 4 teams already have a playoff spot.

Damn I didn't think they'd played 163 if both teams are in the playoffs already but that's cool.
