  1. You'd think, by the law of averages, someone could be effective for say, a week. Don't that's possible.
  2. Exactly, they're not some supreme infallible baseball machine, their MO is not sustainable against quality competition. The one thing I will harp on Nico for is not trying to go the other way, he does that and a run scores.
  3. Situational hitting you know and all. Such BS, nothing other than luck.
  4. You have wonder how may chances Michigan was going to get. I've no doubts some flag on the defense would have appeared had they not won it on that play.
  5. Diamondbacks don't have enough starting pitching to put together a 15-3 or so run, not going to happen. They've exactly one effective starter on whom the clock is going to strike midnight sooner or later.
  6. I know the bullpen is for horsefeathers but, I put this one on Craig. After the lead off walk he should have pulled Boyd. Zeferjahn may have not executed however, him facing, Ortiz, a crappy replacement level player is the right match up. Most especially after Ortiz out together a good at bat vs. Boyd earlier.
  7. Honestly, at this point, I really don't care. Bull pen can't hold a lead of less than 4 runs, it's pretty hopeless.
  8. I guess, their lineup is just so punch less, if you're not the Cubs there isn't a single guy that scares you. There isn't a single guy that teams with quality pitching wouldn't go after.
  9. I've complete faith they'll never win a WS with their current MO. Sure against the Cubs' overall terrible pitching and the rest of the league' crappy pitching their GB's and bloops works. Just can't consistently string those GB's together against quality teams with quality pitching.
  10. Pitching? Sure. Lara and Pratt are light years away from top prospects. They're replacement level at best. Horton - Cubs too a chance and, of course, it blew up on them. Horton it's only a matter when he'll get injured not if.
  11. Yes, just too inconsistent, look at the last at bat, Contreras didn't have a chance. Unfortunately, he can't replicate that from batter to batter. Although, I'm not going to blame him for Chourio' hit, that was pure luck.
  12. That wasn't great hitting on Chourio' part, it was good pitch and would have been a grounder to 2B had the infield not been in.
  13. Definitely pin this on Craig, Ortiz sucks but Boyd wasn't as crisp, big mistake.
  14. Just for the horsefeathers of it, I'll predict he blows a game in the post season.
  15. Well, horsefeathers me dead, Boyd pitched a scoreless inning after the Cubs scored. Hot damn.
  16. With what we've seen of his approach today he's not hitting a softball pitcher.
  17. At least it was a productive out instead of the probable K.
  18. How many times has Boyd managed a scoreless inning after the Cubs score? Can't recall too many.
  19. Beside last Monday do these MF'ers ever fail to get that big out vs. the Cubs? You'd think the law of averages would creep in, at least once.
  20. I knew Shaw wasn't going to come thru, I blame Nico. All he had to do was not pull the ball and the run scores.
  21. Yep, could see that strikeout coming from a million miles away.
  22. Start looking for it and smoke it, it's nothing special, should be able to do some damage.
  23. Man, this continually behind every hitter thing is getting old.
