  1. huh? he just took a no hitter into like the 8th against them That's my bad. That was the Mets. You were right. They knocked him around in SF in May.
  2. to be fair he's at home so there's no "saving him for when there's a lead" Good point. Terry Collins complement rescinded.
  3. Even Terry Collins knows how to use his closer in an elimination game.
  4. regular season pitcher's duel between whoever, sure wild card game pitcher's duel between these two starters? you're insane. Yeah, this has been great.
  5. He has to tell Bumgarner not to look at him either.
  6. Britton gave up 4 ER all year. Ubaldo had 11 starts this year where he gave up at least 4 ER.
  7. I'm rooting for them to play about 20 innings.
  8. LOL Buck. Need a groundball and have one of the best ground ball pitchers in the history of baseball but you leave him in the pen.
  9. You're giving Buck far too much credit.
  10. The Orioles deserve to lose for Buck's stupidity here.
  11. Hey it's a tie game in the ninth inning of a win or go home game and the other team's 2-3-4 is coming up. Maybe I should use the guy who's got a 0.55 ERA or whatever this year. Nah, horsefeathers it. Got to save him for a save situation.
  12. [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] He also said he thinks a pitcher has to be historically good to get on an MVP ballot so that eliminates Hendricks and Lester. Obviously Addison won't win it but it will be interesting to see how many ballots he gets named on.
  13. It's like the No. 1 team has about a 1 in 8 shot of winning the title or something. Never would have guessed that.
  14. We're thinking of doing the same thing for a wedding (and maybe the NLCS) in mid October. How is the Wicker Park/Noble Square neighborhood right off the blue line? The area is fine, but youre going to have to transfer to another line or a bus to get to Wrigley via public trans Awesome, thanks for the info! Knew we'd have to take two trains, which wouldn't be a problem. AirBnB's were cheaper out there than downtown.
  15. As long as OMC doesn't get a start, I think everyone will be happy.
  16. So much for St. Louis either losing or winning in a walkoff.
  17. Tigers lose and they're out. Baltimore and Toronto are in. If Toronto wins, no baseball tomorrow because Cleveland will have wrapped up home field over Boston.
  18. Great performance all around. Controlled the entire first half and played well with the lead in the second. The depth is what stands out as the difference from last year. No Kane, Dembele or Dier in the starting lineup? No problem. Insert whichever two of Son/Sissoko/Erickson/Alli/Lamela that wouldn't have started as well as Wanyama. Last year, they didn't have that squad depth and it showed. When Spurs were down, they didn't have much to bring off the bench. It was basically whichever of Erickson/Lamela/Son/Alli didn't start. No extra forward to pair with Kane. I don't know if this team will mount a real title challenge but it's clear that last year was not a fluke. Best start since the 1960-61 season. The defense is still one of the best in the league and the offense can score goals.
  19. Seattle loses and they're eliminated.
