Running 2017 MLB postseason thread

    Why are you breaking up a good Ryan Braun thread with unrelated nonsense like this?

    You are far from the only PED dummy here.

    You didn't answer my question. Why be so evasive if you have the truth on your side?

    At the very least, I was among those you were going after with that post. That you just called me a PED dummy proves that. We're getting closer to the truth. Now just answer the question directly. Did you accuse me of believing Braun was innocent even though I never made that claim?

    Did you ever notice that I really don't hide from this? I could just ignore the occasional dig from you or others. But I'm happy to take up the discussion again. I'm sure plenty of others are sick of it, but that's on you for bringing it up again.

    It's that little point you keep missing. I can question unproven accusations while still being aware that the person is most likely guilty. I can also question a flawed process that leads to accusations without proof and MLB getting away with violating its agreements with the players.

    By the way, I'm not interested in getting into this in PMs. I'm not going down that rabbit hole again.

    Wouldn't that be a PEDummy?

    Bad pitching, yes. Horrible plate umpire, with both teams mad as hell about the strike zone, yes.

    Three 3 run HRs in 14 at bats, each causing a lead change. Kershaw, arguably the best pitcher of his generation, gets a three run lead twice and still can't make it out of the fifth inning. Lots of comebacks.

    Looked dramatic to me. Then again, being an Astros fan might affect my judgment slightly.

    No question as to its drama. I’m not even sure about it’s not being “great”baseball, seeing as how homers are, last I checked, a significant part of the game. I recall Bernie Carbo and Carlton Fisk going yard without a lot of sniffing about it being bad baseball.

    Sometimes the best hitters in the world hit the ball. Hard.

    Game 7 of the 1960 World Series was somewhat similar to Sunday's game. Pirates win 10-9, Yankees use five pitchers, Pirates four.Biggest difference? The game took 2:36.

    And sometimes they hit lazy fly balls that go out.

    Let's put a stop to the Braun pissing match.

    I believe that Diners Club sponsored the Stand Up for Thalidamide birth defects during the seventh inning that year, but they did it quicker.
