If you round down your 20% playoff odds seasons to zero every time for years you are eliminating a lot of playoff odds

This is a billion percent true, and they did it to give a roster spot back to Everson Perreira who had just been injured for the 400th time in two months and he immediately got hurt again.

You have Grichuk and Pham, I mean I guess if you really love Braden's .755 OPS against RHP you just keep eating that garbage

Like, how are you aggressively pinch hitting for every matchup but letting Braden Montgomery just....play every single at bat?

Especially for a team that has won a World Series in that interval

Whatever happens Saturday, Getz' deadline was 20-grade and Braden Montgomery hitting for himself is murdering the lineup.

5 runs scored on 17 baserunners is obscene

Baseball playoffs rule because people like to try to assign meaning to things when Stuff Happens

Familiarity leads to grounders syncing up with baserunners bumping into the second baseman

I don’t think the absurdly low quality contact being guided by satan is really a reflection of that

This inning is very emblematic of what a miserable slog the Guardians are and man the universe loves garbage

I dunno I also just watched Braden try to hit right-handed so

The White Sox have generally been disciplined all year but they keep letting pitchers who are clearly struggling with control off the hook.

Cheering for Ramirez is anti labor because he took a team friendly deal fyi

The White Sox have hit a shockingly low amount of home runs these playoffs

Cleveland has fate on their side in that nobody on the planet wants Cleveland v. Tampa and as we know only bad things happen on this timeline

No, you’ve lost plenty of late round playoff series before

I wasn’t scared of him! Guess the White Sox have been doing that these playoffs though too with like Hicks etc

Braden and Colson getting blown away by 92-93 mph fastballs with the platoon edge doesn’t feel good

Yep. It was so maddening to watch him hit because he had an incredible approach and contact skills but when he hit the ball it behaved like his bat was made of wet newspaper.

Those were excellent back to back at bats. Need more of that.
