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.

BOS @ LAA

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.

by kericr on Oct 1, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

*.485 OBP

Dammit I suck.

Still ownage....

If you are the Red Sox are you happy with the trade?

Yes.

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

I've always liked Manny

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.

by kericr on Oct 1, 2008 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

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.)

.419 BABIP, though.

Not that he hasn’t been great.

Cubs players have awesome names

Especially when you mispronounce them.

Lou Pinella on Soriano's catch, "...(he) one-handed it"

Uh, that’s impressive? I know that proper form is to cup your exposed and over the open part of the glove, but I haven’t seen a professional baseball player consistently do that in years.
