2017 mlb alds yankees vs indians

quite a strike zone bauer's getting

yeah the calls have been absurdly one-sided

as Tom Seaver used to dickishly say as a Mets broadcaster, "Swing the bats, boys"

Nice 2 hitter.

"Not to pick on Sanchez, but if you didn't know better you'd think he has a mitt that's not broken in yet." -- Tom Hamilton on Indians radio

that was sort of easy

Cleveland is good. They get a good start with their bullpen, they are tough. The lineup is better this year than last year.

I think they're the best team in the league

best in MLB I suspect and I kinda think Kluber is the best pitcher in the game right now.

Really glad to see Jay Bruce doing well

santa maria!

/vasgergian

38 pitches for kluber in the first

damn.

welp, tie it up and lose Encarcion.

RIP

With Kluber positioned for Games 2/5, that's a big advantage. Would love to see Edwin have a huge post-season...

Important question: what's blue collar baseball?

yeah it's a pretty amorphous term, seems to refer to non-established stars in this case?

The '93 Phillies were "blue-collar": rough and tumble, no glamorous stars, cast-offs, looked like they should have been in a bar band or something. To a certain extent, I think it can be code for white--but the Phillies did have Mariano Duncan, Kim Batiste, and Ben Rivera in prominent roles. I remember it as a mostly white and disheveled-looking bunch, though: Dykstra, Kruk, Mitch Williams, Incaviglia, etc.

The Jays at the time were viewed as aristocratic and machine-like by contrast, best exemplified by Alomar.

No baseball player is blue collar. Minimum salary is $500k right? So

iirc the 2004 red sox were supposed to be blue collar because johnny damon and kevin millar were scruffy

marketing is a helluva drug

white people who would've had mullets in 93

Only Matt Stairs, even if he's a billionaire now.

greatest player ever out of new brunswick, presumably

Canadian HRs, OK?

1. Walker 383
2. Stairs 265
3. Votto 257
4. Morneau 247
5. Bay 222

Fergie Jenkins is 32nd all-time with 13.
