    Fucking batting practice out there

    Nah, he was incredible at Wrigley and we wouldn't have made the playoffs without him. But starting him today (on the road, short rest, against a team he sucks against) was monumentally stupid

    Just waiting for the Penn State game to start
  5. Derwood
    does he, though?

    But Boyd said he was ready to go!
  9. Derwood
    Boyd has nothing. Start up the pen

    Assad left off roster is a head scratcher

    Umps show up the players all the time. They also have a union that complete insulates them from any criticism. They can pound sand.
  12. Derwood
    Umps were being snowflakes thinking that a batter tapping his helmet was a signal that the call was wrong
  13. Derwood
    There was an ump early in the season who pre-warned both teams about not tapping their helmets during the game (or he would insta-toss them). He went on to miss 22 calls in that game and over 1200 for the season

    Of course! Jamo would probably be starting Game 1 on Saturday had Horton been available last series
  15. Derwood
    Had Horton been healthy, he would have already pitched in the SD series, so we would be getting just the one LDS start out of him regardless

    Miller's effectiveness is, in part, that hitters have to either sell out on 103 or sit back on 87, but can't, in real time, adjust to both. And if they can't even catch up to 103 to start with, they are toast before the at bat starts
  17. Derwood
    I feel like the Mason Miller approach is best. 100+ fastball vs a high-80's slider. I don't get the "everything is thrown top velocity" idea. Why is a 90mph curve more effective than a 79 mph curve? Isn't the greater difference in velocity best for keeping hitters off balance? Or is that a 90mph pitch isn't expected to move that much?

    Counsell is going to ride his starting hitters all postseason long. I think guys like Castro or Mo are rarely (if ever) going to see playing time. Swapping a bat for an arm makes perfect sense

    Yankees pitcher's name is fraught on several levels

    Keller's worst inning of the year
  22. Derwood
    If that Boegarts call went against us late in a game I would be LIVID
  23. Derwood
    Made an All-Star look like a minor leaguer right there
  24. Derwood
    Just put up a 10 spot in the 1st and coast to victory

    I'm already tired of the 'he should've walked Machado" narrative. When you score zero runs, none of that matters.
