After the last couple of WS, it would be nice to see our offense actually get hot. Nola and Wheeler are good, but I don't think they should be able to shut us down if we work good ABs.
Make Bryce Harper the one guy that doesn't beat you in this series. He's their emotional leader on that team. If you can keep him relatively quiet, it will go a long way towards killing their momentum.

Also, don't shift on Segura with RISP. He'll dinker you to death if you give him a huge hole (TIWSS).

Let Will Smith start and nail Harper, and hope they fight.

Just do what we did in the ALCS to keep Judge and Stanton at bay and apply that to Harper and Schwarber. If we do that, I love our chances.

And why does Segura have the most success against JV? Because JV relies on guys getting greedy and chasing pitches up in the strikezone and then hitting them with curveball with the over swinging.
Segura won't over swing.
That's how the Mariners roughed up JV too.

Yes, don’t make the mistake we made with Rizzo and the Yankees made with Gurriel. But we will because analytics. Analytics contradict what we all see in the game with our own eyes.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having several pages if you have to artificially inflate the posts, no? I mean, I don’t really care so you do you.
