I wonder if I'll be able to break out the A's win gif one more time this year.
Sure doesn't look like it.

I need the Dodgers to take the division so that the Mets can smack them around in the first round, like in 06.
Clayton Kershaw postseason though...
What should be the Blue Jays playoff pitching rotation? If they stay on current rotation it would be Dickey, Price, and Buerhle, but that obviously isn't going to happen. Price will start game one on regular rest.
Estrada and Stroman are scheduled to pitch Saturday and Sunday, but they can be skipped if the Jays clinch. Does Stroman need the rest or does he still need some work?

I would go Price, Estrada, Buerhle. Save Dickey for pen work.

Good morning. Holy shit, I didn't realize Rangers suddenly dropped three straight.
Unfortunately, the EARLIEST, best case clinching the Astros can get is Friday.
Teeth grinding, nervous nail biting final week.
The Angels, Astros, and Rangers are all fighting for 2 playoff spots. It's going to come down to the last regular season game. book it.

Jays should rest all their starters and let Sanchez, Hendriks and Cecil try to rediscover their starting form.

Giants pitching and timely hitting scares me more than Kershaw, tbh
Twins are in there as well.

Price, Stroman, Dickey and Estrada. They were always going to put Stroman in the rotation provided that he has fully recovered which looks like it's the case, outside of Price, Stroman has the best stuff and a repeatable delivery.
Buerle will be a longman at best, might not even get to pitch against the Yankees depending on how the wildcard pans out.
Depending on how the series go they might not even give Estrada a start past the first round, going with the three that are hot.
How'd you get them? StubHub?

I'm sure the Nationals are open to any and all trade offers.

What are they going to do with Andrew Miller?

Pap is gonna come out to "Enter Sandman", and all of the Yankee fans are gonna lose their shit.
Who needs Miller or Betances when you can have a 34-year-old clubhouse cancer?

Why keep the best part of your team intact when you can needlessly blow it up for an over the hill closer that you don't need?

Keep him away. He would probably demand the closer role and pick a fight with Centaur.

The Dodgers are up 5 with 6 games to play. They aren't losing the division. Even to a Mets fan, that's crazy.
It's fun seeing Dodger fans sweat though

I mean it won't be like 2007 Mets bad, but they're sweating right now.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Buerhle has been the worst pitcher in their rotation and generally not very good the last month or so, he's not getting a start in the playoffs. You're also forgetting Stroman who's been excellent since returning.
I would go with Price, Dickey, Stroman, Estrada.

Dickey has better grass splits? Pitch him on the road.
the main thing with Dickey I think is climate. At Rogers Centre they can close the roof.
there's also that whole knuckleball fucks with timing thing which may or may not be real, but if it is then it makes sense to stick him between Price and Stroman.

Check the grass/turf splits of any knuckler, they favor grass by very much, because of the Magnus Effect (grass attracts moisture in the air). Even a HoFer like Phil Niekro had a largish grass/astroturf split.
I wasn't sure of his status. Buerhle has been bad, but he still has experience. Either way, you need someone working the pen.

I thought Cole is pitching the 3rd game?
StudioTan

He'll be the long man for sure, I don't even think Hutchinson makes the post season roster.
That's what I'm thinking yes. Plus, if it's a 7 game series you get Stroman for game 7 instead of Dickey who, although he's been great lately, still relies on an unreliable pitch.
He is.

Too bad the Pirates lost last night
Chances of sweeping with Liriano&Cole a lot higher than with Morton&Cole, so this postponement benefits them a lot
edit: nevermind, looks like it's a DH tomorrow

Oh that's not too bad...I'll take a look!
that's interesting, but couldn't they just control the humidity in the dome anyway?
besides, Dickey's home road splits have mostly been pretty favourable for home since 2013

People were losing their shit over that on Blue Jays talk last night, even though it didn't matter since we won.

Tim and Sid (especially Sid) are one of the worst Toronto sports personalities. Their schtick was maybe OK on The Score 10 years ago, but jesus they are still using the same jokes all these years later. The soundboard abuse...just no.
Sad part is they both (especially Sid) seem to know quite a lot about sports. Dudes have to be pushing 40 and act like complete obnoxious dweebs.
I wanna hear Shi Davidi talking about my Jays.

I agree, but Rogers loves them, so ... we have to learn to love them too, I guess? Kind of like how Rogers expensively assembled probably the worst national broadcast team for their NHL stuff.
AFAIK they pulled Brunt off McCown's show just so he could be a regular feature on Tim & Sid.
