2016 MLB Thread

Oddly specific.

Who do the Indians have for a game 4 starter if not Kluber? 

[Meacon Keaton]

Maybe I'm just way too conservative when it comes to pitching on short rest, but I'd give Merritt another go. Let Kluber pitch game five completely rested so he can dominate like he did game one. Go back to Cleveland, at worst, with a 3-2 lead.

[gunnar hendershow]

I don't think there's an overwhelming amount of 3-day starts that go badly. Maybe the pitcher can't throw as deep into the game as they would on normal rest, but that's not hugely important in the World Series when it's all hands on deck. Merritt is on the ready should Kluber struggle early as well.

Why is it I have to root for the Indians if I want to work tomorrow >.<

Also some of our guys are already on their way to Cleveland as I speak and ready to depart to Chicago if needed for depending how the games go from here on out.

What is it that you do? I've just heard a lot about t-shirts.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Autopsy for Jose Fernandez shows he had cocaine and alcohol in his system. So did one of the other people on the boat, and the other guy had drank earlier that morning, apparently.

Me specifically? Well most of my day to day job is taking product from the racks that high bay drivers bring down on carts and put them to shelves for the pickers. When that isn't going, I pick work orders that consist of either fully blank or just a teams logo on it usually and goes to an area where whatever is special for the order gets put onto the shirts. When I worked last weekend, I was over in screen printing, which was blue shirts that were blank and they put them onto machines that then proceeded to have designs printed on them and they went around in a circular fashion before being pulled off and on certain areas, a big brush would run over something and would help apply the color onto the design and onto the shirt in that specific way. Towards the end of last Sunday I was stuck just taking the holographic stickers in the upper left corner of the shirt if you are wearing it and affixing it to the shirts after they came through a high heated conveyor and someone pulled them off to be folded into easy batches before being bundled up and sent to packing tables.

[Draevyn]

So you make sports shirts or just a bunch of shirts? Do you make other memorabilia too?

[RoHitman Reigns]

It is primarily baseball shirts that are done at our warehouse. There is a li8mited range of cheap NFL shirts that go through as well. We also have some sweapants, jackets, sweatshirts and the like, but the MLB contract and doing both the Authentic and replica MLB apparel is the biggest grossing portion for us.

Game is going to plan so far. Kluber has been great again, some timely offense and the bullpen lurks.

[CobraKaiEnTai]

The Cubs are just getting completely schooled.

Wow Kipnis

 

save Miller for game 5 now, let's go!

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Well fuck.

[The Buscher]

Poor Cubs

I do think they'll win tomorrow with Lester on the hill to send Wrigley home happy...but winning three straight against this Cleveland pitching is going to be quite some challenge.

[Meacon Keaton]

I don't know. First World Series in 71 years and they end up losing all three home games seems like a different chapter to the same story, unfortunately. 

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Its pretty bad when the Cubs have to hope they can make it back to Cleveland to have a shot at winning the World Series. Finally making it to the World Series only to be on the verge of losing, at home, just epitomizes the curse even more.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I'm not ready for baseball to be over. C'mon Cubs.

Ramirez just hit one out of the park to take a 1-0 lead.

That Heyward catch was pretty great. Bauer's reactions was great too.

[Meacon Keaton]

The way the Cubbies have been hitting, that may be all they need.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Bryant crushed that one. Tie game. 

Rizzo nearly hits one out to follow it up.
