Sorry to interrupt normal MLB-GAF proceedings but I'm in LA at the moment and looking at seeing Dodgers/Cubs on Wednesday. Just wondering if I should book tickets in advance or just get them on the day? I'm assuming it won't be too full as a midweek midday game.

Depends on how strict your requirement are on where you want to sit. The earlier you book, obviously you can lock down specific seats.

I'd also recommend checking out an online ticket store just to see what the views are from different parts of the park so you can choose a seat that suits your budget and viewing ability

MVP probably should be Puig, considering what he meant for his team.

If I had it my way, it would be Cutch.

 

[dmag1223]

How many series have the Reds played against the Cards this year? Which ones have the Reds lost?

That's your answer.

By that logic, the pirates are better than the Cardinals, and the reds are equal to the pirates.

Look, the the cardinals are the better team. But rediculous shit just seems to happen every time we play them.

 

[rando14]

AL: miggy, NL: cutch

McClutch will win. Puig has a better chance at Rookie of the Year if the Marlins shut down Fernandez.

There's always Kershaw in the mix too but I don't think he would get it.

I would get them in advance but if you buy them from StubHub you can usually get them cheaper the day of the game.

 

[Dominican Power]

Even though Goldschmiddt has had a better year than Cutch.

Get them off of Stubhub or something the day of or the day before. It's kind of a nightmare to get there in the first place so just make sure you have tickets before hand.

Well, let's just put it this way: The Pirates have proven they are able to beat the Cards. The Reds have proven that they are not.

"better" or "worse," the fact remains that the Reds can't beat the Cards. Call it what you will.

Cutch has to be the favorite right now. Unless he has a terrible September, I think he gets it.

Voters could easily adopt the Mike Trout defense in not voting for Puig since he's a rookie and has more chances to win an MVP in the future lol.

That would be a very BBWAA thing to do. Hanley has been more valuable though. I don't think either player will have enough playing time to really merit though.

I agree it should be Cutch.

Edit: Man, David Wright hasn't played since Aug 2nd and he's still got the 2nd most fWAR in the NL.

 

[dmag1223]

Cardinals hr against the Pirates: 4
Cardinal Hr against the reds: 15

Feels bad man.

If Arizona gets into the postseason I'd vote for Goldschimdt.

YOu just jinxed that homie (Puig) with a torn ACL.

But they won't.

It will be one of Yadi or Votto.

I really think its a mental thing. There is really no reason they should be blasting our pitching for 8 runs a game.

Well, the Baseball gods are cruel. Perhaps we'll get a bullshit win in the Wildcard game.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

There is really no reason that the back end of the Pirates rotation should be handcuffing our bats but you don't see me whining about it.

Sole possession of 1st place!

Park factors!

You son of a bitch. I WILL NOT LET THIS STAND.

Vastradamus has spoken. So it shall happen.

 

[BFIB]

Cards in some tough competition this week. 3 out of 4 against the Braves, and now a big come from behind win.

This team is getting hot again.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Dan Uggla went 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts in his first rehab start tonight. Good to see such improvement.

 

[dmag1223]

Whining? Hardly. I already admitted you guys were better. Just tired of watching repeats of these games series after series against you guys.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Dude, when it happens, even the nonbelievers will have to acknowledge my powers.

Where is my dear and most true disciple, Jakncoke? He knows my power to be true.

 

[Macattk15]

Nice knowin' ya Matt Harvey.

You can pick up Harang to take his spot.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Mariners have DFA'd Aaron Harang.

 

[CygnusXS]

Dan Uggla went 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts in his first rehab start tonight. Good to see such improvement.

I could be talked into betting $100 that 2014 will be his last season with the Braves. La Stella future.

What kind of odds are you looking for?

 

[BFIB]

Guy has to be feel extremely restricted. Though thats what happens when you wear jerseys 3 sizes too small.

 

[dmag1223]

Mariners have DFA'd Aaron Harang.

Too bad. I always liked the guy. Hopefully he can catch on as a reliever or something.

 

[CygnusXS]

What kind of odds are you looking for?

What kind are you willing to offer?

 

[vas_a_morir]

What kind are you willing to offer?

I'm not a gambling man. It would be unethical, considering my... abilities.

Sounds like how Cards fans felt the past few years when the Reds were pulling out comeback wins and walk-offs every other night it seemed. Either way, sometimes one team owns another team over the course of a season. The Pirates pitching destroy us for whatever reason (matchups? extra motivation? Pujols not here to rake at PNC?) this season.

 

[Cloudy]

MVP probably should be Puig, considering what he meant for his team.

I don't get this Puig MVP hype at all. Hanley and Kershaw are just as responsible (if not more) for the Dodgers run

 

[KidA Seven]

Hanley and Puig go hand in hand. Almost the same numbers, but difference in stats is due to where they lie on the batting order.

Kershaw's been my #1.

Yeah, I get you. just blowing off steam after a tough loss against a rival.

At least we should be pretty set for the coin flip game, barring a complete collapse.

Yeah, I just don't see how anyone can look at that team and say Puig is single-handedly (or even largely responsible) for their success. They started to get healthy right as he joined the team and he's a great player like many others on there...

 

[turnbuckle]

King Felix gonna get robbed by dumbfuck writers who think pitcher wins matter

Scherzer has more going for him than wins. it's a 3 way race between Felix, max, and yu. hard to say any are undeserving, and that's with ignoring win loss records.

also, Damn. Matt Harvey was fun to watch, airways feel terrible when a young player has an injury like this.

 

[Chris R]

Bases loaded with no outs? Time for a strikeout/double play combo.

edit: TWO runs in a game? Rare stuff we are seeing here

 

[rando14]

holy shit we scored

Don't know why you're surprised, the Mariners own the Rangers this year outside of Felix games.

 

[rando14]

of all the fucking luck

 

[Cloudy]

Look at that ump helping the Rangers lol

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Punto changed his music. He must've watched Miley's performance last night.

 

[rando14]

hey thats funny, that ball that hit the ump gives the rangers two free runs

 

[Chris R]

Well at least we tied the game for a bit :|

 

[Dominican Power]

I want Miggy to win the MVP/Triple Crown again this year.

Sweet, thanks guys I'll look into stub hub. And how do you mean it's a nightmare to get there? We were thinking of just getting a cab from our hostel.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Mainly the traffic to and from the stadium is terrible. I'd suggest that you leave as early as you can.

 

[shwimpy]

Dodger pitchers gotta do this shit themselves.
