2017 Postseason (That Means All Teams Besides the Cubs if You’re An Optoat)

[Saul Goodman]

So....the Nats aren't gonna bring Dusty back, are they?

Or are they?

Well Bryce Harper apparently refused comment when asked about Dusty's situation so I'm guessing he's not his biggest fan. Not even a cursory "we love playing for the guy."

To be fair, he had just struck out to end one of the tensest baseball games ever played.  Might have been upset at everything in a Walgreens Washington uniform in that moment.  I personally think Dusty should get a lifetime extension there.

Was the Dusty question after a reporter asked Bryce to preview the Dodgers-Cubs series, break down the matchups, give the fans at home something to look forward to?

I didn't notice that until Ms. Cubbieblue asked me "Isn't that W the Walgreen's logo?"

Fuck that. I think the Cardinals should hire him.

And replace Matheny? Nonsense. They're both doing great right where they are.

Yeah.  The aggregate VURD (Value Under Replacement Dipshit) is way lower with Dusty and Metheny where they are.  If Baker were to go to the Tards, he might be replaced by somebody who's not guaranteed to shit the bed at vital moments.

[SKO]

Damn, that was a good baseball game.

[Quality Start Machine]

Damn, that was a good baseball game.

Damn, I thought this was going to be about Dave Roberts' bullpen management.

Damn, I thought this was going to be about Dave Roberts' bullpen management.

I thought he pulled Rich Hill a bit quickly but otherwise I dunno what else he was supposed to do. If Kenley Jansen closes the door, as he does 99% of the time there, everyone says the Dodgers followed their gameplan and it worked perfectly.

The way the Dodgers lesser relievers immediately coughed up 4 runs in 2 innings after Jansen makes me even more mad about Joe not using Wade in G2 of the NLCS, though. If Wade gets the Cubs into the 10th tied and the Dodgers are forced to use guys  like Fields/McCarthy in extras maybe the Cubs win that game.

You don't think the Ginger Minge (thanks Tonk) doesn't hit the HR against Davis there? Every single break went their way in that series.

Probably not? That's still not a defense of Joe's indefensibly stupid decision, but if he'd homered off Wade I definitely wouldn't have blamed Joe for that?

McCarthy wasn't on the NLCS roster, but their bullpen was definitely due to cough up some runs.

That would have made it easier for the Cubs to beat him.

Holy shit that might have been the best non-Cubs/non-Cardinals loss game I've ever seen.

Narrative-wise I will always defend G7 last year as the greatest game in baseball history. In terms of pure insanity though, holy shit, that was the craziest fucking game I've ever seen.
