    Soroka's body language on the mound always depresses me LOL.
  2. Stratos
    Hey our 220m payroll could have afforded another TORP in the offseason too. Colin Rea is ok but man....
  3. Stratos
    Can we get a rain-out in a dome?
  4. Stratos
    Hate my life.
  5. Stratos
    For some reason i'm getting like half a second delay of the broadcast where the sound happens before the video.

    My mom should have started.

    Making up 3 runs on Peralta will be very tough.

    Boyd is gone.
  9. Stratos
    So Boyd had a 7.84 ERA vs the Brewers in the regular season this year. They may need to consider faking an injury for him after this and rostering Assad.
  10. Stratos
    This is insane
  11. Stratos
    Should have put Assad on the roster LOL, could be warming up
  12. Stratos
    WTF is happening
  13. Stratos
    I hear you but Mo isn't the best fielder so he's really a DH or pinch hitter in these playoffs. He can pinch hit for someone like Kelly or Shaw late in the game and not much else unfortunately.
  14. Stratos
    Technically they can choose to only use their 3 best SP since the Gane 1 and 2 SP can start games 4 and 5 on normal rest. But beyond Boyd and maybe Taillon there's no clear 3rd best SP. Shota has kinda sucked lately. Luckily the Brewers were 22nd I believe in hitting HR. We need to avoid walks, which our rotation is best in MLB at. What i like about Boyd is his pick off move can control their running game. I think we match up well against them.
  15. Stratos
    Since Boyd threw 58 pitches last start the 3 days rest shouldn't be a huge deal.

    What else would it be? It would probably be pretty clear when that was the intent or not. If you were an ump would you put up with players doing that to you?
  17. Stratos
    No the tapping was for earlier this season according to Derwood, there was no challenge system in place at that time. Obviously if the challenge system is in place next year there's nothing wrong with tapping your helmet to start a challenge.
  18. Stratos
    Tapping your helmet is disrespectful to the umpires and I have no issue if a player is tossed for it. Missing 22 calls out of around 300 pitches in any given game sounds pretty good. The umps missed calls on the Cubs in game 3 too, including probably the out call at home plate that cost them at least a run. Any Padres fan or player blaming that loss on the ump is a sore loser and should be blaming the Padres players for not hitting better. Funny they say nothing about the other 2 strikes on Xander that AB. Having the K zone box on TV has had the benefit of keeping umps more accountable, but has also made fans and players complain even more for every ump that is as 100% perfect as a computer system. Umps are 10x more accurate than 20 years ago, there will never be a "Livan Hernandez" zone again, but people still won't stop complaining and won't give these guys a break, most of them are doing their best. The Padre who harassed that ump like a sore loser should be fined and given a soother to help his crying.

    He might have pitched Game 1 of wild card round, so could start twice in division series. Oh well
  20. Stratos
    Yeah I think he wanted the glove with the lead. Man on 2nd and 3rd with 2 out and Shaw up vs RHP maybe you'd have seen Mo, but hard to say. Mo is more of a 9th inning inning weapon I think.
  21. Stratos
    Brewers are the best running team in baseball, I wouldn't do that.
  22. Stratos
    He definitely has gone all-in on win-now mode the last few years.
  23. Stratos
    Should the Cubs put Palencia back in the closer role?
  24. Stratos
    You wonder if Assad could be added to the roster, but there's no room for him. We're lucky that basically everyone in the pen has been effective for us. *knock on wood
  25. Stratos
    Unknown i believe. Woodruff is still a question mark. On the IL with a lat strain since Sept 18.
