MLB Playoff Thread

So it's pretty obvious the Giants are over matched by the Cubs. Yes they have Bumgarner going down 0-2 but I expect the Cubbies to light him up as towards the end of the season Bumgarner was getting lit up with regularity.

The Dodgers are up 1-0 on the road but with the rain out we'll have to see about game 2.

Who has some feedback on the AL matchups as most of this week I was off on a golf vaca.?

Welp the Giants extended the series despite Bumgarner pitching about how I figured in Game 3 but their bullpen failed again Game 4 as they have the entire 2nd half.

The Dodgers somehow manged to beat the Nats Game 4 but will need to beat Scherzer a 2nd time to advance against the Cubbies. The key is the Blue must swing the bats. I believe they're like 0 for 5 with the bases loaded in the post season. They could have swept this series with clutch hitting.

Dodgers just playing stupid baseball so far. Turner picked off second by the catcher.

Utley drops an out on a great play by Seager to make the kid Urias work much harder.

Toles can't complete a simple relay throw from the outfield to nail a guy out from me to Charlotte.

I despise incompetent baseball. Makes me think of Don Mattingly *shivers*.

Let's pull our heads out of our asses and swing the lumber boys, your only hope now down 4. Urias deserved much better.

    • Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.
    • It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?  
    • I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
