You need starting pitchers. Maybe one of these years rays will realize that

Mister2Bits · 10-11-2021, 09:46 PM

Heavy heart tonight. This one hurts

Nope, their Ivy League dorks will run computer simulations all winter now.

Awesome series, great outcome

This does prove again that the Rays method does not work in the postseason

seanbros55 · 10-11-2021, 10:00 PM

I can’t believe they give these millionaires Budweiser and Korbel to celebrate…gross

Lol

JWBlue · 10-11-2021, 10:00 PM

Did they just win the World Series?

Yup. I like McClanahan but it's hard to get deep in the playoffs if he's going to be your most reliable pitcher. Too bad they got rid of Morton and of course the Glasnow injury.

No Glasnow just killed them. Don't forget Snell, too.

As a Yankee fan, I would gladly swap our front office including the entire analytics dept with TB's in a heartbeat

Boston has starting pitchers?

If only getting to game six of the World Series means the system doesn’t work, then whose system DOES work?

“One of these years”, as though they fell apart in 2020 because of starting pitching.

Lol

It'd be neat if the quality improves with each round, but they probably are sponsors.

SleepyWill · 10-12-2021, 06:58 AM

What hurt them is Cruz not showing up for the series at all, Wander & Randy carried that line up for the series.

Cruz and Lowe were black holes. Absolutely the difference, no matter what these guys want to say about starting pitching.

Wander, Arozarena, KK, Ji-Man, Zunino, Margot, Meadows, Phillips, Baz, Glasnow, Mejia. Best team we've ever had and it's gone in the ALDS.

Just goes to show that ball bounces different ways any given day.

BaseballKing · 10-12-2021, 09:59 AM

Won't surpise me if the Red Sox go all the way. Alex Cora is a genius.

Yep. I really thought this was their year. Gut wrenching loss - epecially after going 1-0 up. Feels like a bad dream.

Touche. Their system looks to be working pretty well imo.

It'a cruel game post season baseball. The wild card should be a best of three and the LDS best of 7. That might eradicate some of these toss of the coin games where the better team often loses.

It's something of an oddity to have a 162 game season and such a condensed post season. The NHL does playoffs much better.

Must not be too much of a genius since he got caught cheating.
