    Rotation has a 2.48 ERA in 2nd half. The first inning ERA is even better. And over Jake's last 12 starts, he has a 3.25 with 4 FIP which isn't great but much better than early on. Feeling really good about shutting these ho's down.

    Bad things happen when you groove first pitch fastballs, John. The whole league knows they're coming.

    I go to one or two Cubs games a year when they come to L.A. and they lose just about every time. Saw Prior in 03 and he of course threw a CG for the win.

    Lock him up. No matter the cost.

    These trades this season have been odd Before the season if we proposed a deal to get Quintana, we thought it would have to be Schwarber+, but if somebody suggested Eloy and Cease+, there was no way anybody would have proposed somebody in the Rice and Flete realm to fill out the deal. Then you look at Martinez and it's one centerpiece and 2 back-end of the 30s types. I'd do that deal but I'm interested in hearing others thoughts as well. Those 3 in one fell swoop is my most desired move I think, taking all things into consideration.

    This is what I've been saying What would you guys expect the cost to be?

    I bet that's the largest jump in Oswing over 2 seasons you will find possibly ever. That's absolutely crazy. And for a guy right in his prime, not past it. He basically said, horsefeathers it, I'm not letting so many possibly hittable pitches go by this year, and ended up with the same results LOL Good stuff Shoot, sorry, you actually said it's the most extreme shift in PD since they started tracking it. This is fascinating.

    It's obviously a longshot but I also feel the possibility is there to acquire JV for the next year and a half and pay 10m or so after 2018 to flip him and clear more room for FA. Just a thought.

    I'm guessing the Tigers would want to pay at least some of it to acquire a couple prospects. I think that's the only way to really allow themselves to tell their fan base that they traded Verlander. Regardless of what he is now (which still seems very good), he's a legend there. Just basically "selling" him couldn't go over well. But, I mean, if the Tigers paid some of it... would we really care about giving up a couple of these prospects to get Verlander? But yeah this is what was so great about the value of the Quintana deal is it allows something like this (especially with all the money coming off the books). Fwiw, Crasnick says the Brewers want Kinsler and that Detroit would prefer to package Wilson with him and get salary relief over the better prospect package. I think the reason we are linked so heavily with Detroit is that we can easily see their asking price and not harm the short or future outlook at all. I also think they would like to have Candy and Zagunis so they can plug them right in as they retool.

    Altuve with a 4-4 night
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm kind of really thrilled with taking a pitcher in the 11th round who barely started in college (low mileage) and having him run a 2.5 FIP as a starter in his first 1/3 of a full season. 4 pitches he can command - we need more guys like that right now, IMO.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Jose Altuve is hitting 450/500/700 over his last 150 PA
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Almora vs the LHP was the biggest no brainer in the history of mankind
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Why wouldn't he PH Almora?
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    So hope he makes me look foolish here
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Time to smash Mauricio Gonzalez
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Was it really necessary to use a thousand OLs because I got a first name wrong? You that desperate to be a little troll [expletive]? No I wasn't even referencing the name. Your doom boner kills me because it's completely unwarranted yet you keep going to the well. Meh, it's not a doom boner. I'm just commenting on how they should be thrashing this JAG.

    Lololololol Was it really necessary to use a thousand OLs because I got a first name wrong? You that desperate to be a little troll puss?
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I mean if you can't score 2 runs off of Marco Gonzalez...
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    This is surprising given the theme around the board over the last 2 days
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Do you really want our catcher pissing off umpires? No I don't want professional umpires to be horsefeathering petty
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Willy!! horsefeathering murderous.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Now that's how you tie up a game [expletive]
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    I think some people should study what high leverage situations are before they go trolling in a circlejerk.

    Alzolay had a very nice start again 6 IP 5H 0ER 5:1
