RandyMarsh Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Pulling for the Rangers and Dbacks, Id be OK with the Astros just cause of JV but Id rather see some new blood. Phillies are the worst case scenario for me, I hate Philly fans, I hate the fact that they werent even the best team in their division all season(I know you can say that about the Dbacks as well) and even though they may not deserve it I personally find many of their players unlikable. Oh yeah and I also hate how they built their team by basically signing a bunch of high priced Free Agents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'm on the Phillie bandwagon. I've morphed into an anti-astros guy. Not because of the cheating or whatever. But they impressed me the way they marched into Arlington like they were up 2-0 instead of down 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't seem like their kind of guy but snatch him up, so quickly that some suggest he had overtures with them and that's what led to him being fired. He does what they ask, delivers a winner, then they get rid of him for doing that. It's like fooling around with someone, divorcing your spouse for that person, marrying them, then divorcing them for being someone who fooled around. They knew what they were getting. They got it.

From a fan perspective, I think it's because the Red Sox fans are used to having good teams, so they don't feel any special gratitude towards Dombrowski. They saw that he gutted their farm system in order to win now and then he is somehow connected to the Red Sox letting their star players go even though it happened after he left. For Tigers fans, the Dombrowski years were the only time they really had a winning team in the last four decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Abreau ejected, but I think Garcia should be ejected too for going at Maldonado as long as he did. Abreau should have got a warning first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I've been impressed with all the teams so far. Houston just looks like they know they will win. They went into Texas looking like they were up 2-0 instead of down 0-2. Last night Texas could have folded. It looked like Houston was about to take the lead. Arizona hung in there but I think Philly whoops them tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1776 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 In that I’m pulling for Texas and Arizona, you can go ahead and book a Houston-Philly World Series. I’ve been really consistent throughout the playoffs in pulling for the losing teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIguy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Scherzer is either going to pitch a no hitter or give up 5 runs in the first two innings, no in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's done. Very admirable career. Lived up to his contract, rare for a pitcher to do that. I'm glad he was a Tiger. His performance out of the bullpen in 2013 was one of the greatest moments we saw during that 2011-2013 run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIguy Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) The typical recovery time for the shoulder strain that Scherzer suffered is 8-12 weeks so I'm not even convinced he's fully healthy right now.
