The Greatest MLB Tournament Ever Created (AL, Round One, Group 4)

Thursday, November 22, 2018

Last group is here.



4. 1910 A's (won WS)
v.
125. 2003 Mariners (2nd in West)

-Something's got to give here, each of the top seeds in all groups, both leagues, have advanced so far - but modern teams have really had great success against 19th C/early 20th squads.  23 year old Eddie Collins, 24 year old Home Run Baker, 26 year old Chief Bender, 34 year old Eddie Plank - all Hall of Famers leading the A's.  The Mariners have a 29 year old Ichiro Suzuki, a 40 year old Edgar Martinez and a 34 year old John Olerud.  Let's see if we get the biggest upset in the tournament thusfar.

C A's-Lapp
1B Mariners-Olerud
2B A's-Collins
SS A's-Barry
3B A's-Baker
LF Mariners-Winn
CF Mariners-Cameron
RF Mariners-Suzuki
DH Mariners-Martinez
SP1 A's-Coombs
SP2 A's-Franklin
SP3 Mariners-Pineiro
Cl Mariners-Hasegawa
Double: Bat WAR A's
Double: Pit WAR Mariners

Mariners 9 A's 8 - and it happened; the Mariners pitching advantage is as slight as it could possibly have been to not be called a push - it is the thinnest possible margin of victory for the modern club.

61. 2002 Angels (Won WS)
v.
68. 1952 Yankees (Won WS)

-10 Yankee teams are already in the Field of '64, but none from the 50s (the '54 and '55 teams got bounced)  I believe this is the only Angels representative in the tournament. The Angels have a 28 year old Darin Erstad and a 30 year old Garret Anderson. The Yankees have a 20 year old Mickey Mantle and a 27 year old Yogi Berra. 

C Yankees-Berra

CF Yankees-Mantle
RF Yankees-Bauer
DH Angels-Fullmer
SP1 Yankees-Reynolds
SP2 Angels-Washburn
SP3 Push
Cl Angels-Percival
Double: Bat WAR Yankees
Double: Pit WAR Angels

Angels 9 Yankees 7 - the Angels really won with the pitching, they got the matchup win and the overall win, getting them the victory.

29. 1935 Tigers (Won WS)
v.
100. 1905 A's (Lost WS)

-The '10 A's team just got knocked off in the biggest upset seed wise we're likely to see in the entire tournament; we've seen a couple of Tigers teams already make the Field of 64. The A's have 21 year old Chief Bender, 29 year old Eddie Plank and 28 year old Rube Waddell.  The Tigers have 24 year old Hank Greenberg, 32 year old Mickey Cochrane, 32 year old Charlie Gehringer.

C Tigers-Cochrane

RF A's-Seybold
SP1 A's-Plank
SP2 A's-Waddell
SP3 A's-Coakley
Cl Tigers-Hogsett
Double: Bat WAR Tigers
Double: Pit WAR A's

A's 9 Tigers 7 - The A's ran swept the outfield and dominated the pitching to pull the big upset.  

36. 1956 Yankees (Won WS)
v.
93. 2017 Astros (Won WS)

-The 50s Yankees still don't have a representative in the Field of 64 - and they take on a very recent Houston Astros club.  Mantle's 24, Yogi's 31, Whitey's 27.  For the Astros Jose Altuve is 27, Alex Bregman's 23, Carlos Correa is 22.

SP3 Astros-Keuchel
Cl Astros -Giles
Double: Bat WAR Astros
Double: Pit WAR Astros

Astros 10 Yankees 7 - Houston wins those infield matchups and then sweeps the overall categories

13. 1953 Yankees (Won WS)
v.
116. 1963 White Sox (2nd in AL)

-The Yankees 50s clubs still can't find a spot in the next round; the White Sox don't have any representatives at all who have advanced.  Let's see what gives.  Mantle's 21, Yogi's 28, Whitey's 24. The Sox have a 40 year old Hoyt Wilhelm and a 26 year old Gary Peters. 

C Yankees-Berra
1B Yankees-Collins
2B Yankees-Martin

CF Yankees-Mantle
RF Yankees-Bauer
SP1 White Sox-Peters
SP2 White Sox-Herbert
SP3 White Sox-Pizarro
Cl White Sox-Wilhelm
Double: Bat WAR Yankees
Double: Pit WAR White Sox

White Sox 9 Yankees 8 - the 50s Yankees teams continue to be snakebit, here, they had a heavy advantage with the bats and just got clean swept on the mound.  

52. 1913 A's (won WS)
v.
77. 1949 Yankees (won WS)

-we just saw one of these A's teams advance, while the Yankees have struggled recently - let's see what happens here. We've seen this A's quartet of Hall of Famers multiple times - Baker is 27, Collins 26, Bender 29 and Plank is 37.  This Yankee team has a 34 year old DiMaggio and a 24 year old Yogi.


C Yankees-Berra
1B A's-McInnish

3B A's-Baker

CF Yankees-DiMaggio
RF Yankees-Henrich
SP1 Yankees-Raschi
SP2 Yankees-Lopat
SP3 Yankees-Reynolds
Cl Yankees-Page
Double: Bat WAR A's
Double: Pit WAR Yankees

Yankees 9 A's 7 - The A's dominated offensively, sweeping through the IF, but New York won every pitching matchup and then easily took the overall pitching.  The Yankees advance. 


20. 1917 White Sox (won WS)
v.
109. 1951 Yankees (won WS)

We just had a White Sox/Yankees matchup; here, it's the ChiSox who are the solid favorites.  Shoeless Joe is 29 and Eddie Collins is 30. The two years prior Yankees just advanced in the previous game - it's a 26 year old Yogi and a 36 year old DiMaggio joined by a 19 year old Mickey Mantle


C Yankees-Berra
1B White Sox-Gandil
2B White Sox-Collins
SS Yankees-Rizutto
3B White Sox-Weaver
LF White Sox-Jackson
CF White Sox-Felsch
RF Push
SP1 White Sox-Cicotte
SP2 Yankees-Lopat
SP3 Yankees-Reynolds
Cl White Sox-Danforth
Double: Bat WAR Yankees
Double: Pit WAR White Sox

White Sox 9 Yankees 6 - the Yankees had better overall bats, but the White Sox won the lineup matchups and the total pitching to advance.  

45. 1909 Tigers (lost WS)
v.
84. 1930 A's  (Won WS)

-we finish up the first half of Round 1 in the American League with Tigers/A's - we've seen one of these Ty Cobb Tigers teams advance already; and the 1929 A's, just a year before this club, have already moved forward.  Cobb is 22 here, Sam Crawford's 29. Mickey Cochrane isn't a Tiger - that doesn't happen until '34.  He's a 27 year old A - and so is a 43 year old Eddie Collins, a 22 year old Jimmie Foxx, a 30 year old Lefty Grove.

Cl Push
Double: Bat WAR Tigers
Double: Pit WAR A's

Tigers 8 A's 7 - Just super close a dead even matchup with Detroit's bats just...barely squeezing them by the A's to end Group 4.  The next time we see this group:

125. 2003 Mariners
v.
61. 2002 Angels

100. 1905 A's
v.
93. 2017 Astros

116. 1963 White Sox
v.
77. 1949 Yankees

20. 1917 White Sox
v.
45. 1909 Tigers

Half the bracket for the AL is done.  When we return to the NL for Group 4, it's with the 4th seed in the NL, the 1944 Cardinals.

The Greatest MLB Tournament Ever Created (NL, Round One, Group 3)

Tuesday, November 20, 2018

Last group is here.

National League Round One, Group 3



3. 1909 Cubs   (2nd in NL)
v.
126. 1889 Dodgers (Bridegrooms) (Lost WS)

-The '06 Cubs are the top overall NL seed; they've already advanced, three years later they're back - Tinker is 28, Evers 27, Chance 32 and so is Three Finger Brown - all Hall of Famers.  This is our first look at the 19th century Dodgers, led by a 25 year old Bob Caruthers.

Cubs 10 Dodgers 6 - the pitching advantage for the Cubs was overwhelming and they advance.

62. 1903 Pirates (lost WS)
v.
67. 1931 Giants (2nd in NL)

-The second overall seed in the NL was the '02 Pirates, they've already advanced as have the '06 Pirates.  A 29 year old Honus Wagner and 30 year old Fred Clarke look to get their third squad into the Round of 64.  The Giants have been less successful - three teams from the 20s are already knocked out.  This club has a 32 year old Bill Terry, a 22 year old Mel Ott, and a 28 year old Carl Hubbell.

Cl Push

Pirates 9 Giants 4 - The trends continue, player by player the Pirates had the advantage and kept that rolling through the entire pitching staff.  

30. 1918 Cubs (Lost WS)
v.
99. 1920 Dodgers (Robins) (Lost WS)

We just saw the '09 Cubs; this is a different squad, 30 year old Hippo Vaughn and 28 year old Max Flack. We haven't seen a Dodgers team from this era, this is a 32 year old Zack Wheat and a 26 year old Burleigh Grimes.

SP3 Push
Cl Dodgers-Mamaux
Double: Bat WAR Push
Double: Pit WAR Dodgers


Dodgers 7 Cubs 6 - The Cubs had the matchup pitching edge, but the Dodgers overall pitching staff win gets them the upset.


35. 2011 Phillies (lost NLDS)
v.
94. 1877 Braves (Red Stockings) (1st in NL)

-It's the first 21st century NL team of the tournament, Utley and Rollins are both 32, so is Cliff Lee - Halladay is older, he's 34, and Cole Hamels is younger, he's 27.  They're playing a Reconstruction Era Braves team with 4 Hall of Famers - Deacon White (29) Jim O'Rourke (26) and George and Harry Wright (30 and 42). The Braves are going to lose, 1877 is too far back to make sense for the tournament.

Double: Bat WAR Phillies

Phillies 14 Braves 2 - as mentioned, the deck was stacked here and the Phillies cruise

14. 1919 Reds (Won WS)
v.
115. 2013 Braves (Lost NLDS)
-The Reds have already placed 3 teams into the Round of 64, a 29 year old Heinie Groh and 26 year old Edd Roush try to make it a 4th. The Braves are the second 21st century NL team and try to duplicate the success of the first with three 23 year olds - Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Andrelton Simmons.  

C Braves-McCann

2B Reds-Rath

CF Reds-Roush

SP2 Reds-Ruether
SP3 Reds-Sallee
Cl Braves-Kimbrel
Double: Bat WAR Reds
Double: Pit WAR Braves


Braves 8 Reds 7 - everything was razor thin, these teams really couldn't have been more evenly matched, but those modern teams who managed to make the field just have a little bit extra and that carried Atlanta to the Round of 64.

51. 2018 Dodgers (Lost WS)
v.
78. 1993 Giants (2nd in West)

-It's my favorite all time team, the '93 Giants, Barry Bonds is 28, Will Clark's 29, Matt Williams is 27.  They face last year's Dodgers - Clayton Kershaw's 30, Manny Machado's 25, Justin Turner's 33.  The 21st NL teams are unbeaten - can my Giants knock them off.

C Dodgers-Grandal
1B Dodgers-Bellinger

Double: Bat WAR Giants
Double: Pit WAR Dodgers


Dodgers 9 Giants 8 - ah, come on.  The Dodgers pitching depth gets them a win in the tiebreaker.  Come on.  

19. 1998 Braves (Lost NLCS)
v.
110. 1880 Cubs (White Stockings) (1st in NL)

The Cubs are going to lose, that hundred year difference is just too much as we've seen sufficiently, I think. You know the deal with the Braves - it's Maddux (32) Glavine (32) and Smoltz (31). The '97 Braves have already advanced.  The Cubs have a 22 year old King Kelly and a 28 year old Cap Anson.

SP3 Braves-Neagle
Cl Braves-Ligtenberg
Double: Bat WAR Braves
Double: Pit WAR Braves


Braves 11 Cubs 4 - The Cubs actually had the advantage until we got to the pitching and from that point it was a rout.  

46. 1912 Pirates (2nd in NL)
v.
83. 1977 Phillies (Lost NLCS)

-Three Honus Wagner teams have already advanced; in 1912 he was 38, can he make it a quartet?  The greatest shortstop ever faces off against the greatest third baseman ever, as 27 year old Mike Schmidt leads the Phillies. 

C Phillies-Boone
1B Phillies-Hebner
2B Phillies-Sizemore

3B Phillies-Schmidt
LF Phillies-Luzinski
CF Push
RF Phillies-Johnstone
SP1 Phillies-Carlton
SP2 Pirates-Camnitz
SP3 Pirates-O'Toole
Cl Pirates-Robinson
Double: Bat WAR Phillies
Double: Pit WAR Pirates


Phillies 9 Pirates 6 - the Bucs don't add that 4th squad as they fall to a more modern team who really dominates them offensively.  

That sets up this bracket for the Round of 64:

1909 Cubs
v. 
1903 Pirates

1920 Dodgers
v.
2011 Phillies

2013 Braves

3. 1942 New York Yankees (Lost WS)
v.
126. 1957 Chicago White Sox (2nd in AL)

-DiMaggio and Joe Gordon are both 27 and Bill Dickey's 35.  The Sox have a 23 year old Luis Aparicio, a 31 year old Minnie Minoso, and a 29 year old Nellie Fox.

62. 1904 Boston Red Sox (Americans) (1st in AL)
v.
67. 1979 Baltimore Orioles (lost WS)

-37 year old Cy Young leads the Sox against 23 year old Eddie Murray.  The Red Sox take on the Orioles.

SP2 Orioles-Flanagan
SP3 Red Sox-Tannehill
Cl Red Sox-Gibson
Double: Bat WAR Orioles
Double: Pit WAR Push

Baltimore 8 Boston 7 - Wow, what a game - despite losing 3 of the 4 head to head pitching matchups, the Orioles were able to earn an overall pitching push - and that allowed their superior bats to just, by as thin a margin as there could be, squeak out a victory.

30. 1932 New York Yankees (Won WS)
v.
99. 1933 Washington Senators (Lost WS)

-Ruth's 37, Gehrig's 29, Dickey's 25.  And there are 6 other Hall of Famers on this team.  It's the Yankees.  The Senators have four of their own, including a 26 year old Joe Cronin.

35. 1954 Chicago White Sox (3rd in AL)
v.
94. 1942 Boston Red Sox (2nd in AL)

-We've already seen the '57 Sox fall in this bracket; three years earlier Minoso is 28, Nellie Fox is 26 -- we've also seen the '49 Sox fail to advance; lets drop back 7 years and see a 23 year old Ted Williams, a 23 year old rookie named Johnny Pesky, a 24 year old Bobby Doerr.

Total WAR Tiebreak - Red Sox

Boston 9 Chicago 8 - it's the first tiebreak of the tournament; Boston had a little bigger edge with the bat than Chicago did on the mound and they move on.  

14. 1929 Philadelphia A's (won WS)
v.
115. 1948 Boston Red Sox (2nd in AL)

-both the '31 and '32 A's have already failed to advance; here we find the '29 A's and they meet, once again, a Red Sox club.  The A's are bringing some A list talent, pun intended.  Lefty Grove is 29, Foxx is 21, Simmons 27, Cochrane 26.  It's still Williams (29) Doerr (30) Pesky (29)

51. 1955 New York Yankees (Lost WS)
v.
78. 1921 Cleveland Indians (2nd in AL)

-hey, it's the Mick, he's 23, and a 30 year old Yogi, and a 26 year old Whitey.  It's the 50s, it's the Yankees, you know the deal.  For the Tribe - it's a 33 year old Tris Speaker, a 22 year old Joe Sewell.

19. 1911 Philadelphia A's (Won WS)
v.
110. 1934 New York Yankees (2nd in AL)

24 year old Eddie Collins, 25 year old Home Run Baker, 35 year old Eddie Plank, 27 year old Chief Bender - a quartet of Hall of Famers leading the A's --- they meet the Yanks, the Babe is 39, Gehrig 31 and Dickey's 27 (and the Yanks have 5 additional Hall of Famers)

46. 1915 Boston Red Sox (Won WS)
v.
83. 1985 Toronto Blue Jays (lost ALCS)

-Speaker's 27, the Babe is 20, that's some top line HOF talent for the 1915 Sox.  The Jays have the all 25 year old outfield - Jesse Barfield, George Bell, Lloyd Moseby and a 27 year old Dave Stieb and 24 year old Jimmy Key.

Double: Bat WAR Sox

Blue Jays 9 Red Sox 6 - hard to get in the field if you're a modern team, meeting that .600% pythag threshold requirement is just tougher as quality of play improves across the board, but if you're in the field - then the balance tips toward the modern teams and they edge past Boston here.

Here's the next round for this group:

1942 Yankees 
v.
1979 Orioles

1932 Yankees
v. 
1942 Red Sox

1929 A's

We head back to the NL for Group 3, led by the 1909 Cubs

Survivor Series 2018 is Sunday (Also, every match in Survivor Series history ranked)

Wednesday, November 14, 2018






Is Survivor Series still canon? Each year, rivalries, even blood feuds like Becky/Charlotte, are cast aside for a couple of weeks so the McMahons can proxy fight.  Smackdown wrestlers and RAW wrestlers, absent all pretense of backstory or character consistency, then rally together in support of their "brand".  Not in the spirit of competition, it's not "come on guys, let's win the game" - it's "no hatred has ever been felt like the hatred consuming us all for the wrestlers on the television show that airs on a different night - it burns like a thousand suns and we will not speak of it again until next November"

Here's this year's card.

Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion)
-The Universal Title is positioned as the main belt in the promotion (even beyond the WWF Title?  Bruno?  Hogan?  Austin?  That title?  Yup.) Everyone's mad at Brock now; his "I don't care about the fans or the other wrestlers or wrestling" gimmick, which was designed to turn him heel, has turned him heel and he's got a ton of "just go away now" heat.  Not with me - I don't care about that noise, I just want good wrestling matches.  When Brock's in with a good guy, they still happen. Apparently, who he'll be in the ring with is one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived; Danielson turned heel on Tuesday, took AJ Styles' title, and he'll be in this never before seen (well, outside of my Counterfactual) matchup.  My guess is the only way Danielson gets booed is to really be a chickenshit heel and I'd expect that going forward.

(4 1/4 stars - pretty goddamn good, Danielson fought from underneath, really as a scrappy babyface for most of the match, Lesnar beats him)

Seth Rollins (IC Champion) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (US Champion)
-You know who had two 4 1/2 star matches this year?  Chris Jericho.  So, sure, if you said "Nakamura's lost it, he's just a guy now" I'd understand - but if he has two 4 1/2 star matches in NJPW the year after his WWE deal expires, would you be surprised?  Ambrose isn't on the card, he just turned on Rollins and his interfering seems pretty much the obvious finish.

(3 1/4 stars - it was fine, too deliberately paced in the first half to have a much higher rating than this, Rollins goes over)

Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair
-Ronda's got the RAW Women's title and was supposed to face Becky Lynch - Becky got busted up in the go home RAW (which they should use to turn her into a monster babyface) and bumped from the match in favor of Charlotte.  Turning Ronda to build to Ronda/Becky at Mania makes sense, they don't need to do that now, now she should just beat Charlotte in the best match they can have - but at some point before Mania (maybe during Mania) having her NXT shootfight pals join her as a ass stomping heel stable who go head up with the homegrown women makes a lot of sense.

(3 3/4 stars - only the non finish keeps this from being a solid 4 star match, post-match violence was fun, although I would have liked to see them do it the other way)

Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) (Raw Tag Champions) (with Drake Maverick) vs. The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) (SmackDown Tag Champions) (with Big Show)
-Who is the best wrestler in the promotion? I don't mean who is having the best matches, I mean who is the
best wrestler? I might still pick Cesaro (I'd pick Ricochet, but Cesaro would be in the top 5). AoP is
a perfectly good big man tag team. None of these matches matter and no one will ever talk about
who wins or loses them after Sunday.

(yikes, the finish)

Team Raw (Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, and Bobby Lashley) (with Baron Corbin and Lio Rush) vs. Team SmackDown (The Miz, Jeff Hardy, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, and Samoa Joe)
-Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived and has just made his return to the
promotion; Samoa Joe is one of the best
North American wrestlers of the 21st century --- and the two guys this promotion most cares about
are the guy from the Real World and the promoter's kid. Vince should have turned over the booking
of this promotion 15 years ago. I assume this is the main event and the Smackdown group is going
over.

(3 stars, perfectly acceptable elimination match, they squashed Joe, which is a helluva use of resources)

Team Raw (Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson), The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel), Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado, Kalisto, and/or Gran Metalik), and The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor)) vs. Team SmackDown (The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso), The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston, and/or Xavier Woods), Sanity (Alexander Wolfe, Eric Young, and/or Killian Dain), Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and The Colóns (Epico Colón and Primo Colón))

(pre show match, it was good)

-Yeah, 20 guys is a lot of guys - but I'm here for it.  The Revival and Usos are excellent teams; Gable and Kalisto are very good wrestlers and if Metalik is in the match that would make his first major WWE PPV appearance. This is perfectly good Survivor Series fodder and they'll probably give it 9 minutes.

Team Raw (Mickie James, Nia Jax, Tamina, Natalya, and Ruby Riott) (with Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan) vs. Team SmackDown (Carmella, Naomi, Sonya Deville, Asuka, and TBA)

-this will not be good.

(this was not good)

Cruiserweight Title: Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Mustafa Ali 

-in June, Murphy and Ali had a match on 205 Live that I have rated as the 59th best match in the history of the World Wrestling Federation and neither of these guys is one of the 20 best workers in the promotion.  That's how much talent there is.  It drips from every corner of the company.  If they give this match 20 minutes it steals the show.

(4 stars, they gave it 12:30 minutes and it was nearly the best match on the show)

That's it man. Yeah, you should watch this.  Bryan Danielson's wrestling Brock Lesnar, are you out of your mind?  Of course you watch this.

Here's every match in the history of Survivor Series ranked. Ratings are mine; times are approximate.  Possible I've missed some, I'm just a dude.  For comparison - I've rated 52 WWE matches this year at 4 stars and up.  In the history of Survivor Series - there have been 5.  Every NXT Takeover is better than any Survivor Series.
