I mean, even most decent to good teams aren't as good against other good teams. I've never quite understood this take, that all the good teams have great W-L records against other good teams.

It's a mathematic conspiracy, i tells ya!

[Patzky]

Twin Brooks for the ninth.

[Blyleven2011]

Sure hope this pitcher kriske is better than the Davis pitcher  ...

3 outs to go with a sizable lead ...

[Patzky]

Kriske sports a O.OO but has walked a few batters each appearance.

Funderburk   , last 2 outings he hasn't given up runs , but can it continue ...

Plus he doesn't need to show case for a roster spot next year  , he's not really good enough for a roster spot ...

He's been sent down 4 times this year so I'm sure he's safe he stays because if they send him down a 5th time he can't be called up again ...

Guaranteed service time credit

Ah. The e in Kriske is not silent despite the Tom Lehrer song.

[Mike Sixel]

I hope the headline tomorrow isn't "Kriske creamed."

Pinch hitting for your best batter is a very Rocco-esque move.

Rocco's obtuse

There are currently only 6 teams with winning records against >.500 teams, and two of them are only a game above .500.  No one in the NL West is, not even the Dodgers.  It's a really tough threshold to reach

Greene was trying to hit a 5-run HR that whole PA...

And yet people quote this stat like it has some great meaning......
