    I assume this is referencing the fact that the Yankees are the first team to win the 3 game series after losing the first game?

    I would bet they swap a position player for a pitcher with the longer series and unless there's a surprise, I assume it's probably Assad that gets added unless they know Horton will be available for a game.

    Yeah, this is pretty much where I am. This team really limped to the finish (although so did a few other teams the last month or so) and not being anywhere near full strength has really reduced the level of expectations I had for them.

    They did and Cade Horton had a freak injury 2 weeks ago that cost them their best pitcher. Not much they can do about that, especially when they managed his workload like they did so he would be available in the playoffs.

    First, his name is Shota. You've gotten that wrong in like 20 consecutive posts. I've hated almost everything Counsell has done today. Kittredge facing the same part of the lineup he did yesterday was my beef there, not the use of an opener. Letting Shota face Machado instead of a walk or a reliever was inexcusable. There are literally 2 guys in their lineup who hurt LHP and you waved the white flag with one of them up. The Happ thing wasn't a choice because of the Tucker injury, but his history against Cease would have certainly warranted a start for Mo, not his overall performance as a top 10 LF in the game for the last 7-8 years, in spite of what some of the idiots here who love bunts may say.

    I think that drifted more toward center as it got out there and if it was a non-windy day it wouldn't have looked as weird.
  7. mul21
    This was exactly where I was. I didn't like that he faced 2 of those guys yesterday.
  8. mul21
    I think you have to start Shota given the ceiling and how much worse the Padres are against LHP.

    That doesn't feel that unusual when teams have their aces lined up.

    Man, Boyd wiggling out of that jam early was just absolutely huge.

    The only bunt attempt he made all year ended in disaster, so no. He also hit that ball almost 101 mph, so he put a good swing on it.

    New ballgame kids. Let's horsefeathers go!

    Also, Tucker is back to yanking everything to first base again like he was when he was cold. I know they'll never do it, but I wouldn't be mad if Mo was in there instead tomorrow.

    Let's give Pivetta some credit here. He's painting the edges and the top of the zone. Outside of PCA, he's not making guys look bad, he's just making really good pitcher's pitches.
  15. mul21
    That was me. Civale was a starter all year before he got to the Cubs and has been for a while so I don't think Soroka has any real leg up for that reason. Now, he's probably a better pitcher overall, so I don't have any objection to that route either. I just figured Soroka was more trustworthy later in a game and was probably better suited to higher leverage use.
  16. mul21
    I wouldn't be terribly upset to see them start Civale tomorrow as an opener for Shota so you can get some length out of him with only facing Tatis and Machado twice.
  17. mul21
    Yeah, @Brandon Glick where you at?
  18. mul21
    Definitely isn't going to be Assad. He threw like 80 pitches Sunday and I'll be a little surprised if he's even on the roster considering he's a maybe to be available on Thursday.

    I'd rather have Boog and Doug but not getting stuck with Ravech and company is fantastic. Probably got the second best crew in my opinion.

    I was just following along on Gamecast but that's absolutely a game they lose last year. As for the OL, I have to wonder if there's anymore consideration to moving Wright over to LT and going with Trapilo at RT. Seems like that was shelved quickly in the preseason so I doubt it happens but they have to try something else.
  22. mul21
    There will be, but it'll be on things like roads and public transportation that the Bears aren't directly and solely benefitting from.
  23. mul21
    That margin of victory vaults them back into 3rd in terms of run differential in all of MLB.
  24. mul21
    Yeah, I think the argument here boils down to process. If you're taking a RB high in the first round, it better be a generational type talent like Barkley or Henry. The excess value provided by those guys far outweighs what you might get from another position. OO's comparison to a relief pitcher works really well. They're kinda fungible until you get to the tippy top of the heap and then you've got an incredibly valuable resource, but there just aren't many out there.

    I blame Dansby for booting a ground ball and allowing an inning to continue. The offense did plenty last night.
