    Before he hit the RBI single, I asked my son how a guy can retire after putting up 37 HRs and 125 RBI. H e still has a lot in the tank.
  2. a700hitter
    There is your offense! And that is why he is more valuable than the others.
  3. a700hitter
    And the numbers favor the home teams.
  4. a700hitter
    They have supported him well. He should have no complaints about run support.
  5. a700hitter
    The numbers favor the home team.
  6. a700hitter
    That's a fairly big difference.
  7. a700hitter
    VA mojo!
  8. a700hitter
    It is not.
  9. a700hitter
    HFA is meaningless.

    Hitting isn't easy. That is for sure. Hitting Kimbrel is a different level of difficult. His ball moves so much that he rarely throws a ball over the middle with no movement. I think most hitters would have a much better chance against him by just making him throw strikes. It really seems like a tossup whether he can throw 3 strikes before throwing 4 balls.

    IMO, Kimbrel was just out of sync and could not find his release point. He showed no ability to throw strikes. When he goes bad like that, and it is rare, the batters can pretty much go up to the plate without a bat and Kimbrel is helpless. It is baffling.

    I think rest is highly overrated at this time of the year. They are all banged up from 162 game season, and 1 or 2 days will not heal them. Adrenaline will carry them the rest of the way. I think there is more danger of time off causing them to lose their edge, their timing, causing a flat performance. Just my opinion.
  13. a700hitter
    But a HFA, close or not.
  14. a700hitter
    Ask the players what they would prefer. That is what matters. Edit: We also had 2 big shutdown HOF worthy pitchers in our rotation in 2004. We don't have that in 2016.
  15. a700hitter
    I would still rather have HFA. Our offense is much better at home, and our offense is the strength of this team.

    Physical errors and mistakes are inevitable. The game is very difficult, so I usually don't criticize players for physical errors or under performance. Mental errors are unforgivable to me, and I am highly critical of them. That being said, Farrell has not made any major gaffes recently and has been pushing the right button. He's still a dope, but he is in good company with about 26 of the other 29 managers.
  17. a700hitter
    Blame Farrell
  18. a700hitter
    I can't stand watching this.
  19. a700hitter
    It really was lame, not genuine at all.
  20. a700hitter
    Very short ceremony for Papi by Yankees.
  21. a700hitter
    Go figure. Shrug.
  22. a700hitter
    i read it twice and couldn't find a point. I don't read gibberish a third time
  23. a700hitter
    That is why I am special.
  24. a700hitter
    i am special.
  25. a700hitter
    He was big enough to bust a belt buckle.
