  1. Just read this article about the moves the team made today, why did they call up rosscup again? he has a 7.36 ERA at Iowa
  2. Bottom half of the lineup reminds me of something out of July
  3. If Kluber has his A+ stuff today its going to be a looong game
  4. Remember those really weak lineups where would complain about 6-8, 6-9 in the order? This reminds me of those. Kluber is the kinda pitcher that could easily make our lineup look stupid. Despite the fact he is having a down year his FiP is pretty damn good 2.82
  5. That is more than likely vs. LHP only. Russell is out with a Groin Strain and is Day 2 Day. That is more concerning for me as he has been very good as of late.
  6. yay they came back (ill eat my words on the miller thing, but not the hendricks thing)
  7. i can state pretty unequivocally that this is not true What is he? Good? This wouldn't be true. in 211 career innings, hendricks has 3.6 fWAR and a 3.62 xFIP yes, he's quite good especially when he's your 3rd or 4th best starter Straight from Fangraphs http://www.fangraphs.com/library/pitching/fip/ Excellent = 2.9 FIP Great = 3.2 FIP Above Average = 3.5 FIP Average = 3.8 FIP Below Average =4.1 FIP Poor = 4.4 Awful = 4.7 Okay so he is somewhere between Average and Above Average at 3.62 FiP thats not "Quite Good". I didnt say he was bad i said average.. turns out he is a little better than average but not quite above average..
  8. No chance to win today unless we hold em to 3 and blow up ATL's pen.
  9. Shelby Miller is a good pitcher. Too bad Hendricks is just average.. Miller vs. Arrieta would have been a good matchup.. ohh well
  10. Yes, let's panic about anything possible with a 7-run lead. Len said he hit foot hurt after fouling a ball off it. he will be fine, might get a day off or something.
  11. His second dong is going to be hit so hard it's going to catch up to the first dong. When those dongs slap together everyone will cheer. All this dong talk the one who is going to be getting dongs is Jared from Subway. He will be the dong king
  12. Bosio is too busy trying to make sure Hammel, Haren, Hendricks, and Lester dont go full EJAX
  13. If Bryant needs to take an extended break (of the 15 day variety / precautionary of course) we may see Baez before September.. I know its the middle of a race, but a guy like that I wouldnt want to take many chances with. Rather have him rest a little and be strong in september than potential get hurt worse..
  14. To be fair Chris Sale makes lots of teams look like crap. But this tigers series reminds me of July cubs
  15. Bullpen is bad again. Lucky the Giants lost
  16. As stupid you guys make me out to be, I've made enough money so far this season on draft kings to pay for my vacation to Japan this winter. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe way of thinking/looking at things is a little different than most. Either way I'm just being real. If a cubby plays bad I'll talk about it. If they play good I'll talk about it. I'm not gonna sit here and ignore bad playing for the sake of hoping they do good. Reality is that everything has positives and negatives, it is what it is.
  17. Selective reading again. A majority of my posts are neutral or positive (over 50%) some folks just ignore those and read the negative ones.
  18. I hope we go 3-1 with the Braves this weekend. That will be nice
  19. Yah soler has been rather underwhelming but that exit velocity is nice....
  20. You can make me a foe so you don't see what I post unless you want to
  21. I don't ever want to see you list a score where the fewer runs are put first again. I don't care what you want Weird I didn't see you mention that Norris and Castellanos were going to take Lester yard. The premise of your "prediction" was Miggy and Kinsler having big nights. I referenced the 2 of the big names but also posted the link for a purpose. Lester is bad vs. The tigers. Selective reading is dangerous. Be careful if you sign some paperwork. You might overlook something
  22. I won't vote for trump but yah we do both pretty much speak our mind
  23. I think it's the Orange in the uniforms that throws him off. Either that or an insane fear of tigers or anything related to tigers such as a team nickname. Lol could be that, but he has faced detroit his whole career as an AL guy maybe it's similar to throwing over to first base.. maybe he has the yips vs. The tigers.
  24. I don't ever want to see you list a score where the fewer runs are put first again. I don't care what you want I don't care that you don't care what I want. Clean yourself up. Lol I'm as clean as they come buddy
