  1. Missed opportunities there, Stras was missing spots. I think we get to him in the next 2-3 innings.
  2. 4:38 CT on Tuesday for Game 4 (if necessary)
  3. Yes, you get the opportunity to pick a 25 man roster each round. Last year they took out a position player for another reliever for the NLCS, probably because of the 5 to 7 game series shift. so you're telling me lackey is probably safe? If Arrieta proves he’s healthy I could see Lackey being left off. It will probably be Martin or LaStella for Rondon though.
  4. Either FS1’s K-zone is woefully mis-calibrated or Angel Hernandez is calling one of the worst strike zones I’ve ever seen
  5. Rondon has been good but he's still behind Davis, Strop, Carl, Monty and even Wilson and Duensing (for matchups at least) so it would hard to see a situation where he'd really be the best option/needed since all those guys can essentially pitch every game this series. Martin lets Joe be a little more liberal with pinch hitting, double switches, optimal defense, etc. too which likely has a larger effect on tipping outcomes in our favor than having Rondon pitch.
  6. People forget, 2017 was supposed the be the year we started to compete but we “peaked early” so let’s crush some Dusty souls managing like the poop factory he is
  7. It's amazing how calm I am going into this series thanks to winning it last year.At this time last year, before the Giants series, I was completely unable to sleep, but tonight I'm going to have no problem, then I'll get up and enjoy the hell out of the early game and part of the Indians game. I completely agree, I wish I felt more uncomfortable. But I don’t. We got this. The Vegas lines seem very off on the surface let alone factoring in the Dusty quotient. Let’s rolll boys
  8. Hey guys are you ready? Because I’m ready http://static.celebuzz.com/uploads/2015/05/Mad-Men-Peeping-Peggy.gif
  9. Jameis horsefeathering sucks
  10. Yeah the whole team is basically this,
  11. Gary Sanchez, somehow Miguel Montero
  12. I’m not nervous because I genuinely feel they are better and will win, just like last playoffs. I’m not, not nervous because of the feeling “we won last year and if they don’t win they don’t win we have 2016.” That’s ninny thoughts. I want a mother horsefeathering dynasty
  13. Bauer’s curveball is elite
  14. Yeah this series is over with Pomeranz and Porcello pitching the next two games.
  15. wasn't that fox My bad. I was so convinced it was TBS for some reason. Anyway I liked the dynamic they had. The postgame with Pedro fumbling over every word and Sheffield showing he has a baritone with nothing interesting to say, Rollins bringing absolutely nothing to the table - it's awful. So very terrible. Pretty sure Fox/FS1 got rid of Thomas and Rose (Rose for sure) but kept A-Rod and Keith Hernandez and Ortiz took the spots.
  16. For Monday probably when they know for sure if or what AL games will be played
  17. Another reason I love Hendricks game 1, is his pickoff move and him and Willy combined controlling the running game. Dusty probably still thinks he owns us and can run whenever, if we can shut them down a few times it might scare Dusty to run in future games in the series because he’s a big dumb idiot and will let recency bias influence him.
  18. That's insanity. What kind of value is there on the Cubs side? I see anywhere between mid +140's to +150
  19. I think you have to role the dice and throw him out there, right? Would today have been a side session for him? Just have Corbin or Godley ready to come in out of the pen if he shows signs of trouble early.
  20. Every team has things I don’t like and like about facing. D’backs offense is scary and their starting pitching can be good but their bullpen is pretty bad. If you can hold them to 4-5 runs a game I like our chances vs them.
