Let's Really Win Two: the 2017 Postseason thread

The Nats rotation is great, but the Dusty Playoff Coefficient brings it down to somewhere around beatable.

I'm reminded of Bobby Knight's quote: "I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown. Then I knew we had a chance."

They say interesting things come in threes.

1. Dale Brown's initials are DB -- exactly the same as Dusty Baker. Both men also have a birthday.
2. Bobby Knight's initials are KB which are nearly the same as the initials of Chris Bryant (Bryant's are CB). Fun fact: Bryant's middle name is "Maas" as his father was a bandwagon Yankees fan.
3. Kylw Schawarber got his degree from Indiana University which is where Bobby Knight coached basketball. Scahwarber didn't play basketball but he did sit in many chairs. Knight was fired for throwing one such chair.</spooky>
3. Dusty Baker manages the Washington Nationals which is the same team Max Scherzer currently plays for.

4. Dusty Baker and Dale Brown are both awful at managing/coaching.

We've missed you and we're glad you're back in time for the playoffs.

I always thought Knight said that about Lou Henson. Even if he didn't, still works.

...for once I might just be able to watch the rest of the playoffs and see who wins it all rather than spend several months pretending baseball doesn't exist and didn't just break my heart.

I may have mentioned this before.  I never expected to see a World Championship.  When it happened I thought that it was God's way of telling me,  "OK.  Time's up!"

Game 1: Hendricks
Game 2: Lester
Game 3: Quintana
Game 4: Arrieta

Sweep and Jake gets more time to rest the hammy.

Before SKO has an aneurysm about the starting lineup, I should just point out that J-Hey absolutely fucking molests Strasburg.  There might be somebody with better numbers against the kid, but you'll need to look far and wide to find him.

Sorry.  The two separate postseason threads confused me and I put the comment below here instead (thanks alot Sterling, you fuckhead)


Hector's the odd man out for the first round and Herb Washington Leonys Martin makes it.

My guess is Hector'll be back on next round since teams are more likely to carry 12 arms in a best-of-a-seven series.  They certainly don't need that many for a 5 game so I'm cool with this, even if I do feel a little bad for Hector since it seemed he had turned things around.  Like I said, though, he'll probably be back on next round.

Two can play at that game.

I think that's right. Also I'm glad Joe resisted the urge to include Rene Federowicz on the roster.

That fuckin' rocked. Well, everything except Ron Darling.

Is this one of those logic matrix puzzles?
