  1. I think it was a totally defensible call sending Holt there.
  2. People sometimes forget how close Dave Roberts came to getting thrown out in 2004. It was so close that a bad umpiring call could have ruined everything. It was a clutch call by that ump.
  3. That's the one point in its favor. But I don't think it was really meant to make things fairer so much as to keep more teams in it longer. Just my opinion.
  4. Vin Scully is probably thinking he should have stuck around for one more season!
  5. Everybody picks on somebody. With some it's Young, with you it's Holt.
  6. Yeah, you should have won a game in which you gave up 9 runs.
  7. That hurts. I expect Girardi will be going to Robertson and Betances tonight. They've been the money relievers for the Yanks lately.
  8. The eternal mysteries of major league baseball.
  9. Not working out that way with Sabathia lately.
  10. 2004 ALCS Game 6 vs. the Yanks. 2 calls correctly changed in our favor, including the infamous A-Rod slap play. In Yankee Stadium, and without benefit of viewing any replays.
  11. Brutal start by this ump.
  12. Joe West did have one great game in his career though, and for that one game I'll always like him as much as I can like an ump.
  13. Starting to sound like TJ surgery, see you in 2019, and forget about the opt-out.
  14. I think the new WC system is rinky-dink. At the end of August there may still be some sub-.500 AL teams with a chance at a WC spot. But it was a smart move commercially to keep more fans interested longer.
  15. He's been discussed a lot on the Prospects thread.
  16. It's all technicalities. In this case the Wild Card games are technically playoff games. MLB recognizes them as such, Baseball-Reference recognizes them as such.
  17. Calling a game a 'playin' game instead of a 'playoff' game is just semantics. The reality is the same in either case. You win, you move on, you lose, you go home.
  18. Used to be, used to be...once upon a time there was only the World Series. What's changed is changed.
  19. How about the first round of the NFL playoffs, the Wild Card round - are those playoff games?
  20. We have no more off-days till September 7, so yeah, it'll probably be Fister. At least he won't be pitching against Cleveland.
  21. I still remember Gregg Zaun (covers Jays games and postseason games on Canadian sports network) talking about Middlebrooks having 'alligator arms' on that play.
  22. I was just being a joker. The sunglasses will be my 'being a joker' sign from now on.
  23. What I'm saying is you seem to want it both ways. You complain about DD setting us up for a cliff, then you complain about him not making a bigger effort to trade even more prospects and make the cliff even worse.
  24. Playin, playoff, what's the difference.
  25. You're expressing all this concern about the cliff, but at the same time asking why we didn't try to trade Groome, Chavis and others for Gray.
