Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

[PrincetonTiger]

Yankees have "demoted" Aroldis Chapman out of the Closer Role

 

[HOZER]

Rondon doing what Rondon does best, giving up hits. Him and Stroup.

Cubs still up 4-3, bottom 8th.

[PrincetonTiger]

Here is another shocker

 The Dodgers have demoted OF Joc Pedersen to OKC

Cubs win 4-3, see how big that insurance Run was by Rizzo. I never trust our BullPen with a 1 Run lead. Baez playing like Ozzie Smith at SS too. He is making incredible plays daily!

Lol. I don't cuss much, especially not over the internet. It is not very ladylike .

Since when did the Pirates decide to stink? Cards already up 1-0.

I know right (hate that phrase) ..... and isn't that ashamed .... My hope is that they do enough to win the central and once in the playoffs ... anything can happen from there....

 

Side note.... what the hell is up with the spell check in this program?  It changes words to something not even close to what I am writing and even occasionally misspells on my behalf.... is it just me?

I misspell words too, not sure. Regarding our Bullpen, yeah when the 7th and especially the 8th Innings roll around I cringe.

[BR-549]

 

I don't remember it being like that last year.  Its like the bullpen and even the starters have lost some of the edge they had last year... I would so love to see them repeat.  That would be sweet given the rollercoaster ride we have been on this season.  Here we are in the "easy" stretch and struggling.

 

Like I was alluding to earlier, sometimes all you have to do is get into the playoffs and maybe win a game or two that you are not supposed to.... ugh as in 2005 Steelers (my side started hurting Harper).

[HOZER]

Ok I'm 1 for 2 so far, lets go Colts, buck the usual preseason losses and get us a win against them Cowboys!!!! 

[HOZER]

Oh well, Go Cubs!!!!!

[2006Coltsbestever]

The NL Central race looks like this heading into August 20th:

1. Cubs 65-57

2. Brewers 64-60 (2 back)

3. Cards 63-60 (2.5 back)

Cards lost to the Pirates which gives the Cubs more breathing room but the Brewers win at Rockies. Have to give the Brewers credit as they wont go away.

-Todays schedule is:

BlueJays at Cubs 220pm

Brewers at Rockies 310pm

Cards at Pirates is the Sunday Night game.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Who was better all-time? If you had to take 1 team, who would it be if you were to bet your life savings on them to beat any other team? Choices are:

1. 1961 Yankees - 109-53 beat the Reds in the WS

2. 1975 Reds - 108-54 beat the RedSox in the WS

3. 1984 Tigers - 104-58 beat the Padres in the WS

4. 1986 Mets - 108-54 beat the RedSox in the WS

5. 1998 Yankees - 114-48 beat the Padres in the WS

6. 2016 Cubs - 103-58 won Game 6 and 7 on the road to win the WS over the Indians.

-Just put a number on it when you Post, just curious! These are 6 all-time Great teams.

The 2017 Dodgers.

 

You've asked this question before, no? It is not the Mets or Cubs; so we can eliminate them. I can't recall many of the Tigers. Was that the team with Lou Whittaker and Alan Trammell? Was Sparky Anderson the manager?

 

I will say that Reds team or the 1994 Yankees.

 

The 2017 Dodgers may knock all of those  teams out of the park  if they win the World Series.

This was actually a slightly different question but similar to the old one. Regarding the Tigers, yes that is the team. They also had Kirk Gibson.

Ok. I think I will pick the Reds. They had All-Stars and Gold Glove winners at nearly every position and some went on to be enshrined in the Baseal HoF -- Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez. Pete Rose is definitely HoF worthy. They had other great players like Davey Concepcion. They had a HoF manager in Sparky Anderson.  However, I don't know their pitchers. I need people like @Jay Kirk and @BrentMc11 to tell me what they think. 

 

The Mets may have had the best pitching amongst those teams but they have only one Hall of Fame player, the late Gary Carter.

[HOZER]

Lets Go Cubbies!!!! Trying out our new veteran pitcher today,Rivera, thanks NFLfan!!!!

Are we thinking of the same person. Renee Rivera is a catcher.

 

You're welcome.

Doc should be in the HOFAME IMO. That is bull he isn't.

[2006Coltsbestever]

0-0 going to the 2nd.

[2006Coltsbestever]

@NFLfan, Keith Hernandez belongs in the HOFAME too. He was like a 5 time All-Star and even won MVP 1 season + won 2 WS with 2 different teams. 82 with Cards, 86 with Mets.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Oh hell it's only 3-2 now Cubs! It was 3-0.

Oops my mistake meant catcher!!!!!

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Sarge sing during the 7th Inning stretch. It's 3-3 now Rolls Eyes!

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was a nice play by the Jays outfielder, robbed MVP of at least a double. Nice catch.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bottom of 9, 3-3 vs Jays. Happ up with a chance to win it. Guys on 1st and 2nd.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Happ struck out, going to the 10th. Here we go again, another game where we have no business losing and could possibly lose.

[2006Coltsbestever]

What a sucky loss, up 3-0 at 1 time. Shouldve won it in the 9th, complete Bull. Our Pitching is something else at times.
