    Why can't our guys get revenge against their old team? It happens to us all the time!
  2. h2oface
    Gallo = 3 true outcomes...... looking for the K
  3. h2oface
    Time for a 2 out big rally and crooked number from the "stars" of the lineup!!!!
  4. h2oface
    8 hits in 3.2 innings, 4 earned, 2 walks, 2 homers. How much worse did you expect?
  5. h2oface
    Game one, and just the AAA pitchers.
  6. h2oface
    OK. Just a blown kiss, a run, and no goodbye.
  7. h2oface
    Sands is cooked. Kiss this one goodbye from Judge.

    As long as Celestino is raking, there is no better time to do IL Buxton and get healed than now. Ever since he slapped the dirt after his slide into second that tweaked his knee......... he is not Buxton. See how he does against NY, first. Can you but Baldelli on the IL for bullpen decisions?
  9. h2oface
    JOSE!
  10. h2oface
    Celestino not available? He was supposed to be available yesterday. Still not activated?

    The only way you get better, is to constantly be identifying deficiencies and trying to come up with ways to improve. If all you did was "stay positive" and compliment the weaklinks, you will likely end up losing playoff games (maybe even 18 in a row) even if you slip in with the now ridiculously expanded playoff field. Critical thinking is a venture in reality. Hope and Dreams rarely win championships, if ever. Realists are not negative, regardless of the false claims of negativity by the self appointed tunnel visioned optimist.

    Maybe. But for me, it is about the players I grow fond of. I really liked the way Berrios did his job. He cared. He took care of himself and made a very disiplined effort to be and become the best player he could. He wasn't a slob that never made any attempt to be a better athlete. He was a good fielder, and skipped off the mound. It is not necessarily just about who is on the team that I have followed since childhood. Many times, I don't like some of the players we have much at all. Visitors. One year rentals. Guys that cheat, were not reticent about it, and basically got away with it without consequece and are now on "my team" are still not my go to. I love baseball first, and then have a favorite team (sometimes.... sometimes a love/hate relationship), and a couple of other teams that I follow because of my location, or I like the players and their style of playing. I appreciate talent and hard work. and really appreciate when they have both. I still like the player that a FO trades or gets rid of because they are too cheap to keep them. I like to see them do well, and I don't mind lamenting that they no longer get to do it for my favorite team. I think plenty of good can come from checking in.

    It would be an interesting article to see how it has affected each team that comes to Canada so far, and all the players that didn't get to play and such. I would imagine that Toronto team is 100%. It would affect half the games played.
  14. h2oface
    It would seem that Toronto would have a vax issue type of advantage for just about every home series as most teams would be without a few players and playing temp replacements.
  15. h2oface
    This whole vax protocol for getting into Canada for games would seem to give Toronto a real advantage against just about each team that they play at home.
  16. h2oface
    57 pitches and done? Pagan again? Hey, the Dodgers got swept in 3 games at home against the Pirates, losing the games with shoddy defense, pitching faltering, errors, and closer blowing leads late. It can happen to any team, no matter how good they are. But at least the Dodgers scored runs, too. But it still really hurts to see the Twins tank like this. With the playoffs going to 12 teams, I wouldn't be surprised to see a barely .500 team getting in. At least it is not as bad as the NBA where teams with 34-48 and 36-46 got in the playoffs.
  17. h2oface
    .... and Gray going to the IL, the timing seems suspect, too. I don't know why it the vax status on a team is not disclosed, anyway. The teammates deserve to know, at least, right?
  18. h2oface
    Thanks for this great article. My favorite of the year for sure.

    103 Pitches for Skubal. That's the spirit!
  20. h2oface
    Umpires love umpires. Well, not all of them, as I umpired for a spell, too.
  21. h2oface
    I guess the "Plan" is to let Ober get a certain number of pitches, regardless of what is happeing with the score. Gotta rest those other 13 pitchers on the roster. 78 pitches, 60 strikes. Good ratio. Just too bad so many were meatballs.
  22. h2oface
    90 pitches and Skubal's arm hasn't fallen off.......
  23. h2oface
    Skubal gets the same exact inside edge pitch that Ober doesn't. Umpires. At least he got one right, looking right at it over the inside shoulder.
  24. h2oface
    Good thing we have all those pitchers on the roster. Let's see how many Ober can give up and not use any. Two first pitches and one second. Let Ober fry Baldelli.
  25. h2oface
    Couldn't have been more of a middle middle first pitch.
