  1. yes and it was awesome. texted the quote to some pirates fans
  2. I know someone earlier mentioned a bullpen game in Game 2 of the NLDS. And that's actually not the craziest idea ever. We have a bunch of former starters that are playing up a little out of the pen with increased velocity. What's wrong with letting Hendricks and Hammel piggybacking with Richard/Cahill/Wood? Let them all go through the line-up once. Keep the opposing hitters off-balance. The thing that is wrong with that is playoffs eliminate the september call-up depth and if you use 5 guys in one game you can easily run into trouble with just one other extra inning game that series.
  3. I'd wager that most teams lose a lot of games as a result of failing to score more runs.
  4. I believe it is a combo of not wanting Ross 7th or if La Stella or Russell, his #9 guys, are out. I think he's just letting his horses/potential 9 innings guys bat 9th while the guys who last 5/6 innings are still hitting 8th.
  5. did he stop at third before continuing on? He looked like he did not want to go on.
  6. [tweet] [/tweet] No he is not walking off in any sense of the word. He's basically being dragged off.
  7. dirty slide not really, but saw ugly collision live and looks worse on replay
  8. Was there ever a corresponding roster move to the 53? They signed Lavar Edwards.

  10. I feel like they have cautiously stretched him out late in the year. He only has one 120+ pitch game, back in June. On normal rest he is now slated to pitch game 1 against Milwaukee and game 2 against Pittsburgh, before finishing with a game against Cincy. Maybe they prefer not to show him to Pittsburgh again, but they can probably have him go under 105 in each of those games and be ready to go big in Pittsburgh 10/07.
  11. Yep. Why is it so early, anyway? Seems to always be the case in Pittsburgh on getaway day. Pittsburgh and Cincy are in the eastern time zone, same thing two weeks from now and all previous getaway days from those towns.

  13. Has Maddon given any reason why the pitchers have moved back to the 9 hole? Haven't heard, but assume it's just the guys he expects to go 9 innings, thus reducing part of the reason why you benefit from hitting them 8.

  15. back to back games with the pitcher hitting 9th...
  16. WTF dude. Do not compare Bonds with those situations.

  18. I'd take a team full of criminals if they were robbing convenience stores, but this is rape we're talking about. Beat up any cabbie you want. Don't rape. I can't get behind the notion that he should be gone immediately and should never wear a hawks sweater again, but he should never be admired again.
