Thanks, I used to do this s*** before you came around. I always finished 2nd to YOTN for the annual Talksox funniest poster though. Looks like you're the one that the torch has been past to.
I'd rather get rid of two red flags (starting Aceves and facing Masterson) in the same start than to potentially lose 2 games, one for starting Aceves and another for facing Masterson. In other words I'd rather lose one by a lot to increase my chances of winning another than to potentially lose both.
I wonder if Francona had that rule because it's what MLB The Show tends to do or vice versa. I always see the bullpen immediately upon scoring my 7th run.
I vaguely remember you giving up a lot for him, are any of the players you gave up in that package doing well for the Rockies? (Spoiler Alert: I'm way too lazy to look it up)
