NLDS Day One Thread

I think we'll just have one thread per day instead of three. Cleans up the cluster of three posts ONLY for gameday threads.

LETS GO NOBODY!

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

The first thread showed so much grit, passion, and hustle.

This thread on the other hand, certainly appears to be a lazier, toolsy type.

I guess I am just a lazy guy.

Manny has been an absolute beast for LA,

Batting Average may be a bad stat, but you can’t argue with .498 since his trade.

No you can not.

With a batting average that high it means everything else is pretty high up there also. He has been a beast and I suddenly like him a lot more.

Sorry, I goofed. .496 OBP since trade, .396 BA

Still ridiculous numbers over 2 months.

*.485 OBP

Dammit I suck.

Yes.

The Red Sox had no chance of getting that production out of him.

I don’t think he’s all that smart, but he always reminded me of the best kid on a little league team. Not mature, funny in a childish way, and he plays the game in such a way that he recognizes that ultimately, baseball is just a game.

some people have argued that his blase in-game attitude might actually make him a better player

he doesn’t succumb to pressure, etc. of course, he’s a hard worker outside of games, which lets him take that attitude during games. (and i’m talking about his hitting here, not his fielding.)
