I think that if he knows he’s only pitching 1-2 innings, he can turn up the velocity and be effective. 

that presupposes velocity is his issue

Possible this could be JV's last mlb win?   No pressure Dubin.

Scott is done for the season isn't he?

Cross him off then

Both teams will be playing Scraps tomorrow, so maybe....

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Braves walk it off vs KC, so both them and the Tigers lose. Tomorrow's games will matter for seeding. 

Judge had 5 strikeouts today, so that's neat.

Getting in to prime playoff form!

 

so we get royals unless tigers lose and royals win.

That was one hell of a turnaround.  They weren't very good last year.

96-56. Incredible 

[Wulaw Horn 19069]

The Astros game system sucks though. 
This year all we did was graduate a guy that was a borderline all star with a 2.8 era and another guy in Arrighetti that’s probably better than that and will be a top 50 at worst, pitcher next year. And enough trade bullets to pick up a guy that went 9-1 down the stretch for us. Other than that though- yeah- worst farm system in the league.

[Scraps 13561]

I have zero doubt in my mind that we groove one for Ramirez today so he gets to 40/40.

Probably 2 so he can get his double too

Have faith, dude.  Ryan Gusto is one of the greatest Florida Southwestern State Buccaneers of all time.

They do specify a number of games but it’s like 159 or 160 I believe
