  1. that presupposes velocity is his issue
  2. In what role? obviously to eat innings if we’re way down, but I’m sure what else. Scott’s turned back to a pumpkin but I still think I take him ahead of JV in the 5th or 6th. Same with Neris
  3. Yeah looks like he was all over the place but ramped it up to try and get one past ramirez
  4. what will Cleveland’s rotation be in the LDS? Bibee. Then?
  5. Who gives a shit how deep your staff is in a 3 game series?
  6. Arizona is eliminated if Braves and Mets win their next two and Arizona loses their next two
  7. They gonna play it even if it’s just for seeding? if that’s all that’s left, gotta think you’re going to see two straight games of nothing but bench players to avoid having to fly cross country to play in SD the next day (vs MKE)
  8. Hader is fine. (Sure for 5/$95 you want more than fine… And I will allow when he comes in, I do feel some of the same I did for Wagner back in the day. Amazing stuff but fastball could flatten out and if he couldn’t spot the offspeed, it gets dicey. but without looking around the league, who who else is in a better position than us in the 9th? cleveland? Yeah Clase’s stuff and numbers are ridiculous but he has only one fewer blown save that Hader in the year.
  9. Thats exactly what I thought when they showed that segment
  10. Not sold yet on KC as the 6. They hold the tiebreaker. I believe Hinch has already said they are going to shut it down once they clinch. i know it’s the white sox, and i know the Braves are fighting for a spot but i could see the royals still managing to tie and get the 5.
  11. Of he’s healthy they aren’t going to risk putting him in the OF and reinjuring it. They’ll take the chance running the bases but not in the OF
  12. help me process what no Yordan in the field in the playoffs means because I can’t imagine he does anything other than DH if we’re lucky to get that. that first base defense will be even more white knuckling than it already is? Singleton is pretty much relegated to PH duty? caratini at 1B when Diaz catches and vice versa with the occasional Dezenzo start. Meyers in CF just about every game with the occasional Dubon start. Heyward in left and we hope he finds the fountain of youth and/or that Chas rises from the dead and miraculously finds 2022 postseason form?
  13. Just came to post how sweet the champagne had to taste for Benetti tonight
  14. It does. But if he gets rusty after 3 days off, we have bigger issues. So far this year, he’s been fine with that much of a break. He’s had 13 appearances this season after 3 or more days rest and a 2.40 ERA in those appearances…but most of that ERA comes from early in the year when he was not good. Since June 14, he’s had 8 appearances on 3 or more days rest and has only given up 1 run ( a 9th inning home run against the D-Backs on that 9/8 Sunday night game that JV shit the bed and we were down 11-5 and he was only in because he hadn’t pitched in 8 days).
  15. More Mariners schadenfruede: the Royals went 12-1 vs the White Sox. tigers are currently 10-1 vs the White Sox. mariners 6-1 vs the White Sox. WC race probably looks a lot difference if they get another 6 games vs that garbage.
  16. I have no problem with it ( other than the risk of a wet mound/ball after what happened to Pressly in Boston earlier this year). They brought him in to give him 3 days off and have him fully rested in case he has to pitch 3 straight Tue-Thu. Same with Abreu. Their regular season is over.
  17. Not bad for not making the team until the last day of spring training not gonna lie, as he got in to the 5th, was really hoping he was going to bookend the season with no-no’s.
  18. Miami = ACC meal ticket. Say what you will, no way that wasn’t getting overturned
