  1. if you're going to hit montero for almora then i don't understand why you wouldn't PH ross for heyward. pretty poorly managed game in the late innings tonight.
  2. he's lefthanded, doesn't hit lefthanded pitching very well, and was put in to face a tough lefthanded reliever. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SQA3d7NwSCE/Ur1rMrSiRpI/AAAAAAAAPh0/mnmxLbwtw54/s1600/what-i-expected.gif
  3. yeah i sure like his chances against blevins more than i like heyward in this spot.
  4. this ump has been good all game. bad time to start expanding the zone.
  5. hell, i would take a competent reliever. peralta is awful and has been bad for 2-3 years now. the only reason i can think of for signing him is that joe remembers when he used to be pretty good like 6 years ago.
  6. i find it hard to even get mad. lackey gave up a lot of hard hit balls and should've allowed more than one run, and maddon completely screwed the pooch by using one of the worst pitchers in baseball in a high leverage situation.
  7. i fail to understand why you'd bring strop into the game now but not two batters ago with the same number of outs left to get to win the game.
  8. gee who would have thought that a washed up 40 year old would fail in a high leverage situation?
  9. i sure hope peralta has no part in this team in october, because he suuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
  10. my confidence in peralta is not very high, to put it generously.
  11. if matz were staying in the game, i sure hope that maddon would point out to the umpire crew that the move he used to pick off szczur is a really obvious balk. his foot landed in line with home plate.
  12. 47 pitches to 10 batters. will be a short night for matz at this rate.
  13. i remember looking up gary scott's minor league stats one time, and wondering why in the hell he got any hype at all. i guess the cubs' minor league system was so pathetic that he was the best they had to offer at the time.
  14. i'm going to the game on saturday night, straight off the plane from perth -> sydney -> los angeles -> jfk. hopefully good arrieta shows up.
  15. how the horsefeathers are the rangers doing so well? because i look at that roster and i just do not understand it.
  16. if you only put in a pitcher when you've reached the 15th inning and have no other options, maybe that's a sign that he shouldn't be on your roster.
  17. leave wood in to pitch and leave left field vacant just to taunt the reds.
  18. not sure how that would be possible. maybe bryant could hit a ball out of the stadium and the reds just forfeit in amazement.
  19. It's the highlight of the very dark last 10 days. i'd lean toward kris bryant doing something that no other player in mlb history had done before.
