OT: MLB Thread

Off the top of my head, Kershaw, Price, Weaver, Verlander, Greinke . . . Right now, MB is the hottest pitcher in baseball but he will have to put together a few seasons (more than just 2 as he has now done) of elite pitching before I can call him the best pitcher in the game.

Those guys did nothing in the post season and some have failed on several occasions in that regard.. Baumgartner has taken over the post season. That's all that matters, so he is the best by that yardstick.

I think Kershaw is in his own league BUT he's been trashed in the post.

I would obviously take MB over Kershaw, or any of other guys I mentioned, for a playoff game right now but IMO that doesn't make him the "best pitcher in baseball" as of now, just the most clutch. For instance, Ely Manning has been better in the playoffs than Peyton but he's not a better QB than Peyton, obviously. Granted, the gap between MB and those other guys may be closer than between Peyton and Ely, but still . . . You get the point.

The problem with clutch is the small sample size...if I'm starting a team, I'm picking Kershaw and his back to back sub 1.85 ERA over 400+ innings. If he continues to be a bum in the playoffs, and I'd get fired, so be it.
 
If MLB anounces the Rays are moving to Montreal before today's game 6 then I might in fact actually watch the game but if they don't announce it then I am just going to stick with the Cowboys and Habs games.

Yes, TSN1040 initially stated the game was tonight but now say it is a travel day. This is great news for MLB as I will give them another 24hrs to move the Rays franchise to Montreal.

I am very flexible in that way.
