  1. I agree.
  2. No? Look, if we picked up a guy and he had 11 HR and 33 RBI in 30 games, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be s***ing on him.
  3. Yeah the Angels could give the Rays a hard time. The Halos have had a terrible season, obviously, and they're out of it, but they still have talented players and now they have nothing to lose. Just the kind of team that can be a real pain in the ass.
  4. Last year it was cool. This year it just looks stupid. Funny how that works.
  5. Rodney is hurting the Rays big-time this year. Last night's blown save was his 8th of the year. And 7 of those have ended up as Rays losses. Last year Rodney only had 2 blown saves, both ending up as losses. So you could argue that the Rays have been 5 games worse because of their problems at closer. That'd put them 2.5 ahead instead of 2.5 behind. It'll be interesting to see if Maddon makes a move there.
  6. We call it September over here, Ben.
  7. Gonzalez's previous appearance was also in relief. A little strange. He's either not 100% or he's in Showalter's doghouse or something.
  8. Britton had 2 bad outings against the Yanks and hasn't pitched since Aug. 18. He needed some work.
  9. That, my friend, is very very sick.
  10. Seriously Gardenhire must have nightmares about being abused by guys in pinstripes.
  11. It's amazing that a guy with the name Taylor Teagarden would become a major league catcher.
  12. Pedroia's had 14 hits in the last 8 games though.
  13. 7 ribbies for Victorino. What a night for him.
  14. Let's go you s***** Angels!
  15. So you're saying going up against lights-out starters could give us problems. I agree, but I think that's a problem for just about every offense in history.
  16. Not sure I follow. If they are good at getting starters out of the game with high pitch counts in the regular season why wouldn't that continue in the postseason.
  17. Someday you're gonna have to show me your numbers on that. Generally speaking you only get to crush middle relief after you're knocked the starter out. Crushing middle relief is usually garbage time stuff like this.
  18. I think we've already seen their comfort zone tonight.
  19. So we shouldn't get too excited about the offense just yet. Got it.
  20. I'm more concerned about our bullpen than I am about how our starters match up. On paper we would have a hard time winning many bullpen wars. Uehara has been incredible, but the bridge to Uehara is a little wobbly. It's a question of whether guys like Workman and Britton can step up and be postseason heroes.
  21. Schilling pitched Games 1, 4 and 7 of the 2001 WS. That's the last one I can think of.
  22. Verlander has been one of the most dominant pitchers since 2006. But in 11 postseason starts (ignoring the 1 inning rain-shortened start) he only has 4 Quality Starts.
  23. On average, he is. On a given day, who knows? Price has bad games like everybody.
  24. Actually you do need 4 starters in a 7 game series now, because managers hardly ever use their starters on 3 days rest anymore. Look up the postseason game logs for the last few years and you'll see what I mean. Game 4 is usually on the 4th day after Game 1 because there's only one off-day between. If you remember back to the 2007 ALCS there was a lot of controversy over whether we should start Wakefield in Game 4 or start Beckett on short rest. Tito took huge flak for sticking with Wakefield, especially when he stunk and we lost. But it worked out well after that.
