The Giants pitching staff is pretty sick, but their offense doesn't jump out at me. The reverse is true for the Braves.

I'm actually going with the Braves in five. I think they're motivated to win for Cox, and while the top of their rotation isn't as good as the Giants, the overall package is better overall. Braves in 5.

Not that I want to be "that guy" but Posey was obviously out at 2nd. It's always unfortunate when that ends up being the decisive factor in the game as he was the only run to score.

I also should say that Infante definitely should have had that ball on the ground under his glove.

How many times can this keep happening? Bring in replay for crying out loud.

No sentimental Bobby Cox rooting for me. Go Gints!

Agree. Admittedly it was a long while ago and before he got sober, but Bobby Cox had the foulest mouth I've ever had the misfortune of sitting near.

As far as the WS is concerned, I gotta think the Phillies have the best team in the NL this year and I'd like to see them represent. Lincecum, Cain and Sanchez is a better rotation than a lot of people are aware of. And a currently underrated Zito as well as Bumgarner ain't too shabby as backups either...

If the Giants make it, I won't complain.

Lincecum and Cain are awesome, and obviously Posey is impressive.... but this Giants team overall is pretty mediocre.

They have 3 very good starters, a good pen and Posey...But yea, the "talent" on the team is pretty subpar.

Sandoval has good upside but didn't have a great year this year.

But they also have Baumgardner as well, which will give them 4 excellent starters and even Zito started off well this year but ended the year poorly.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
