MLB 2022: The Long and Winding Thread

It feels like Cleveland should be up 5-0 by now. Severino has been a disaster, but it’s just 2-0.

 

Unlike the first two games, Mariners pitching (through 13) have handled the top three of the Houston lineup, who are 0-for-17.

Alvarez has whiffed on some top of the strike zone fastballs. And Altuve is clueless at the plate.

 

Home trash advantage is a real thing

 

Next year will be interesting with the balanced schedule. The Braves were outplayed.

 

McKenzie played with fire and Judge just cremated one.

 

So, apparently Aaron Judge is still good. I get it, New York, Bronx, but him getting booed at home last time out was just ridiculous.

 

As a Phillies fan, I can attest that in no way were/are they consistent enough to have won their division. But they have power and two excellent starters, and in best-of-three and best-of-five series, that makes a team a match for anyone. Now that we're in four-of-seven territory, I have even more doubts than usual about their chances, but it's been house money since they backed into the playoffs due to the Brewers' lost weekend.

 

Mariners pitching through 14: 17 Ks, 0 walks.

 

It’s raining? In San Diego?

 

That might do it in Cleveland. Not sure the Guardians offense can score four.

 

Yeah So Cal is getting a freak monsoon

 

Something called a Penn Murfee is pitching in Seattle.
