    I'm impressed with how well he knows Kimbrel's psychological state.
  2. mvp 78
    And I wasn't making an excuse, I was just making an explanation for why his performance dipped. He has struggled in low pressure situations all year. Last night was no different. edit: And it's NOT acceptable no matter what the cause.
  3. mvp 78
    Says who?
  4. mvp 78
    That name doesn't bother me.
  5. mvp 78
    Would you have had Kelly warming up prior to Kimbrel's first pitch?
  6. mvp 78
    Please do not invoke that name.
  7. mvp 78
    Clay has been awesome. I'm not denying that. All I was saying earlier was that it was a missing piece, not the most important piece.
  8. mvp 78
    If Farrell wants to do that, he should try it out in the regular season to see how it goes first.
  9. mvp 78
    Where'd those goalposts go?
  10. mvp 78
    Yes, I have. I'm also repeating what was said on last night's broadcast and I'm pretty sure Steve Lyons played at a more competitive level than either of us did...
  11. mvp 78
    That was solely due to Salty's ineffectiveness behind the plate. I doubt any of the 3 guys we have now would replicate that monstrosity.
  12. mvp 78
    You'd have to ask the pitching staff that one.
  13. mvp 78
    When someone doesn't understand that you can complain about someone on one hand, but give them credit on the other... You can't make this stuff up...

    "The most important factor in us succeeding" is a determination that is in the eye of the beholder. Was he the cog to us winning the AL East? Or was it Papi's transcendent season? Or was it Pedey having his best season in years? Or was it Porcello pitching like a CY? Or was it Mookie contending for MVP? Or was it JBJ becoming an All Star? I'd take those 5 guys as bigger reasons we are in first place than Clay. Did I want someone not named O'Sullivan or Owens pitching in the 5th spot? Of course! That doesn't mean it's the most important part of the roster.
  15. mvp 78
    Both.
  16. mvp 78
    Without Pomeranz, who would we be starting?
  17. mvp 78
    We've had more longwinded posters on here before. At least your posts try to go somewhere rather than meander off into nothingness.

    Kimbrel's postseason record: 6.2 IP 1 ER 10 K 3 BB 1 H Of course, until he does it here, we will have no idea what to expect. I don't believe last night was a high pressure situation since the O's clinched before he even took the mound. When the owners are highfiving in the box seats before his first pitch, my guess is it's reasonable to expect that Kimbrel would lose a little adrenaline.
  19. mvp 78
    Yup!
  20. mvp 78
    I hope this year was just an adjustment for him after coming off surgery. I'm a fan of Vaz and hope he can win the starting job next year.
  21. mvp 78
    Where would we be without Pomeranz? Where would we be without that terrible David Price? Where would we be without Kimbrel? In all honesty, no one really knows. DUMBrowski built a roster that won the AL East. Can't complain too much.
  22. mvp 78
    Only 6 innings? Garbage.
  23. mvp 78
    If he keeps his glorious hair, he'll get to .380 easily. If he cuts it off ala Brock, he has no chance.
  24. mvp 78
    Leon seems to have done a great job with the pitching staff since coming aboard. He's still my starter through the end of the season.
  25. mvp 78
    Of the 24 qualifiers, .966 is tops (Donaldson) and .705 is worst (Headley). Shaw sits at .732, ranked 21st. The 12th ranked guy (Rendon aka middle of the pack) is .799. In terms of WAR, Shaw is 15th.
