  1. Well he didn't need to catch it.  It would have been enough to slap grichuk's glove away as soon as it broke the plane.  You have to be like a player and think about what you'll do if the ball comes to you.

    Joking of course.  Kind of.

  2. One from the regional and one from the super right?  Or did the TSU coach take another job?

    It's kind of the opposite of the Astros in the playoffs last year where the two teams they knocked out fired their managers.

    i like to think i know this team inside and out, but i did not see this coming.  to me, when on, mchugh seemed like a soft contact guy who could bulldog his way to a k when he needed to.  but in this adjusted role, i think they said he had 10k in his last 4ip leading up to yesterday.  we're winning, so i would say don't change a thing, but i would definitely put him in the peacock grouping of guys you put in the 7th inning when you're leading, and don't take him out until you absolutely need to.

    no reason he couldn't do what morty or mccullers did last postseason (although they generally have nastier stuff).  i think i like mchugh's mental makeup as much as anyone this side of verlander.

    I thought they should have been using him in that role in last year's playoffs.  This year I expect there will be very few playoff innings not thrown by Verlander, Cole, Morton, Keuchel, McCullers, Peacock, McHugh, and Devenski. 

    Starters tend to see the k rate go up when they move to the bullpen and he's always had decent strikeout stuff.  He had 12 in his very first start for us in Seattle.
