2013 NL Central

[Ramy]

Congrats to the Pirates fans. I know its been a long time coming. I am a Reds fan and know all about losing for a lot of years too.

Not that many years.

It is kind of strange. Our last playoff appearance was also our last winning season. Fast forward 21 years, and our first winning season is also our first playoff appearance, even if it is at this point only guaranteed to be one game.

Buccos made postseason play in dramatic style, didn't they? And against the Cubs and their home fans. I loved how the crowd went from cheering to booing after that out at home plate.

Let's go Bucs! I'll have to head downtown and get tickets for this last Reds seried to see the Pirates off to a successful postseason, hopefully.

Lariano starts today against the Cubs. That should put him in a position to get 3 days rest and start for the wild-card playoff game, or a division playoff if the Bucs get lucky.

The Reds will have either Latos or Cueto to pitch that one game playoff game.

Looks like Ethier will not be on the NLDS roster because of his ankle. Ethier has been the Dodgers most productive hitter in the playoffs. This means there will be no platooning in the outfield unless a player just needs to rest because of the nagging injuries they have had all year.

Looks like the Dodgers only A playoff lineup will be what we saw in last night's game:

1. Puig RF
2. Crawford LF
3. Ramirez SS
4. Gonzalez 1B
5. Kemp CF
6. Uribe 3B
7. AJ Ellis C
8. M Ellis 2B
9. P

This 1 game playoff will affect the Pirates more than the Reds if they advance to the NLDS. The Pirates have only one really good pitcher, and perhaps Burnett, and he will be pitching in that WC game. While the Reds have 3 guys they can consider ACEs. This will make them much weaker than the Reds in the NLDS.

Don't overlook Garrett Cole. He's hurling as good as anyone right now.

Since when did the Dodgers join the NL central division?

Please keep all non NL central posts out of my thread.

My bad. Thought I was in the MLB thread.


Why do we have 3 different baseball threads to begin with.

Because some of us want to talk about our teams without seeing pages and pages about the Dodgers.

What if they tie?

Edit...Whoever wins two games hosts the wild card game.

Pirates sweep, Cards get swept. Pirates win division.

Yeah, right.

 

[mccoyrj]

Pirates take the first two games from the Reds. They will host wildcard game Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.

 

[cybok0]

About time. Lol

That would be typical. Toy with us fans and then YANK it away.

Yeah the Pirates are starting the bench today except Pedro.
