Cardinals @ Nationals In Game Thread , Do they pull off the sweep?

[Hman]

So I had 40 to win 1280 on cards to win WS, 30 to win 1260 on nats. Should I split it and walk away with 500ish profit or should I put all 1260 on the AL team??

This was a easy decision had cards won, all in on AL as I said all along! I think nats starting pitchers actually give them a shot, vs yanks I would actually think about letting it ride, maybe a 70-30 split to at least profit a little it yanks beat them. Against Stros think it be at least 50-50 maybe more like 65-35 Stros?

Thoughts?

Usually I would say guarantee yourself a profit but you have so little at risk plus the Nationals are rolling right now maybe it's worth riding it out.

Either way, you just have to ask yourself this.

Which will piss you off more?

If you hedge and it turns out you didn't need to?

If you ride it out and lose everything & the chance at a guaranteed profit?

[ThaWoj]

I would already be counting that money, and I hate calling any game early. I’ll be happy if it ends 7-0

7-0 probably good. 7-1 or 8-1 is possible. Could get 11.5 live last half inning, seems like a lock for under.

[2daBank]

good season red birds.

They fortunate they played in central. They tried to choke it away down the stretch but cubs losers and brewers were beat up. I been saying all along our offense wasn’t good enough. Hoped the pitching could carry them but also said it would be ugly for all our pitchers besides jack up against yanks or stros!! Lol

[shocka1212]

probably 8-3

[shocka1212]

Corbin been great in the spots I've seen him in this year

[shocka1212]

Just need one more to cash the over

there it is

[ThaWoj]

I don't understand how they can strikeout on the same fukking pitch every at bat in every game.

Would do better to just not swing at anything.

Normally I’d agree too but I took few big hits on FF under in gm 3 and nlds game 5, still had solid post season but if I lock in profit it would mostly wipe out those 2 losses (obviously not betting “big” lol).

Had cards won national league I was no question going all in against the future cause didn’t think any our starters outside flaherty had a chance vs yanks or Stros lineups! lol.

Nats make a far more interesting WS imo. Said that all along but I thought cards matched up pretty well with nats, as you know often times styles make fights. Mikolas and waino were excellent and gave them a chance, the offense (which been bad most the year) and what had been best defense all year really let them down!! 1 series too early to make this easy for me!!! Lol.

Wish I took the Nats run line instead of the money line

Assuming you talking about slider w Corbin? I figured that would happen. They been one of worst hitting teams against breaking balls all year????

[2daBank]

Bro I love you man I’m just messing with you bro you know I’m not serious man. It’s like heckling a friend bro I’m not for real.

All good my dude. You know I got a fan club lurking always waiting for something to fail for me!! Lol.

Just being clear to those fukks it not that important to me! Lol. I ain’t disappeared any! I posted last night until Ozuna fukked me and cost the FF under.

I’m always cool w you fukkin with me!!!

[2daBank]

there it is

Oh wow, cards actually got you the run!! Didn’t see that coming! Lol

I think hedge kinda pointless but I’d be good going all in against the future. Hate to not profit off those 2 future even if they were small amounts. Nats just throwing wrench cause I do think they have a shot. I said all along I thought cards had none vs the AL! Lol.

Just wish I had any type of lean in AL and coulda got either at plus money to win WS before start of alcs! Just wasn’t sure and still ain’t! Gonna be pricey once the WS matchup is set. I’m assuming both be -150 to -170 against nats?

Same thing last night every strasburg K was offspeed down out of the zone.

I mean, at some point you have to adjust right???

[Luv2Play2]

thawoj.. said that earlier.. nats getting all boarder line zone calls.. down 3 zip be aggressive very hard to do when not much is in the zone...

[2daBank]

Been all year bro. Look at their numbers vs off speed!

For months our offense was ranked right there w tigers and fish as worst in the league in wroc+.

Dejung fell so far off after great start. His career trajectory very similar to Story’s. Hopefully his 3rd year is similar!! Lol.

Those Fowler and Carp contracts are gonna really limit what we do in offseason!

Goldy was no where close to advertised, if he doesn’t get back to what he was last 5 years before coming here we be fukked! lol

I’d assume Ozuna gone. Afraid they banking on at least 1 of bader or O’Neal. Bader can’t hit a beach ball, O’Neal a strike out waiting to happen.

I’m worried going forward! lol

[2daBank]

Here their chance to make it interesting. Maybe they bring Rodney in?? Lol

[shocka1212]

Wow, thought goldy had that one

[shocka1212]

Here their chance to make it interesting. Maybe they bring Rodney in?? Lol

Lol start prepping for game 5 if they do

[2daBank]

Lol start prepping for game 5 if they do

It’s a 2-3-2 format right? I hate that.

Goldy has been nothing as advertised! Bum!

[shocka1212]

Wouldn’t be surprised if nats pour 4 more on right here

[Mackballs]

Ozuna delivers one of the poorest at bats you'll ever see.

[ThaWoj]

These fukking asshats goldy and ozuna swing at every fukking pitch out of the zone. Fukking stop!

[shocka1212]

Trying to help his boy Corbin out apparently

[2daBank]

Trying to help his boy Corbin out apparently

He been garbage all but about a month and a half this year. The catcher we gave up had a way better ops than goldy did for us. We got jipped!!!

[2daBank]

These fukking asshats goldy and ozuna swing at every fukking pitch out of the zone. Fukking stop!

Nothing new. We got 5 more years of a declining goldy. Fukkin awesome at 35 mil per! Lol

[ThaWoj]

Should have been able to drive JMart in from 2nd. 7-5 much better than 7-4 obv.

You have 1 out with your 2 best hitters up to bat with JMart on 2nd and you have Corbin on the ropes and WTF do you do???

2 K's and Ozuna didn't even look like he was trying. Or he was trying to hit one out...just fukking get the run in u bum

[2daBank]

Wouldn’t be surprised if nats pour 4 more on right here

Not against Gallegos. He 1st reliever we have brought in from another team who been great!

[2daBank]

Ozuna delivers one of the poorest at bats you'll ever see.

Maybe if we didn’t see goldy AB right before that. Both bums. At least goldy is good in the field. Ozuna lost them yesterday’s game.

[2daBank]

Dejung might as well close his eyes when he swings. Lol

[2daBank]

Here comes bader. This should be funny! Shouldn’t even throw him a strike!

[darrell74]

Good news for Cardinals fans, Fernando Rodney is warming up

[2daBank]

Stare at fastball. What you waiting for clown??

[2daBank]

Good news for Cardinals fans, Fernando Rodney is warming up

That is the one guy they might be able to hit. It’s almost shocking a team who uses that guy gonna be in WS! Lol

[GOIRISH]

Someone explain the gnats starters wearing Elton John glasses
