    Kiriloff has to be injured again or they couldn’t have made the change.

    Throw it in on his hands. You don't need to hit him, but interrupt his swing. Do it four times hard in his first at bat, let him take his base, and then let him think about it in subsequent at bats.

    Good....good...I feel your hate. Give yourself to the dark side...

    I, for one, cannot imagine why they kept pitching to Alvarez. Were they trying to let him kill one of our firstbasemen? What kind of stupid idea was that?

    I was shocked at how quiet the Astros crowd was last night- the stadium was virtually silent for the middle innings. In the 9th inning the shot from centerfield showed all sorts of empty seats right behind home plate. Big contrast with the last two games at TF (not so much of a contrast with lots of other games at TF).

    Too much talking. Way too much talking. Too much talking over each other. Too much talking about Verlander's family. Too much talking. Missing pitches because we had see shots of his wife and daughter, or him smiling at the crowd? Ridiculous. I think my feelings are clear.

    Excellent list! Biggio getting blocked into the defensive secondary was an appropriate end to his series, which included being unable to grab Max's single in Game 2 and then seeming to strike out in about six crucial situations. If the games this weekend are as intense as the last two I'm going to be completely wiped out Monday morning.

    Agreed. The consistency has really been spectacular. And much appreciated.

    I get that, but a) teams better not care about the outcomes with respect to bettors; for example, Mahomes slid to end the game on Monday night instead of scoring. Was he wrong? b) it's a long season, and the Twins were playing to the end of it. They just aren't at the end of it yet. The Rockies were, let them play hard. Was Toronto supposed to use their top pitcher on Sunday because it was his turn? We're in the playoffs, gotta play the long game, IMO.

    I didn't realize it was allowed in an extra-inning game. I think it was a merciful end to a game that all the players probably wanted to be over anyway. I was watching with my mother and I predicted that some pitcher would be asked to throw a meatball in the bottom of the tenth. The shadows were bad no one could probably have hit it anyway. This was a reasonable solution.

    On an unrelated note- how did we get a position player to pitch in a non-blowout game? Is that only allowed at the end of the season?

    Does Tyler Wells make the playoff roster? He's back, after a 7-week exile to the minors, pitching in relief. Cano didn't have a great September, about as bad as his not-very-good July. His August was spectacular, though. He'll be on the roster of course, but will he close?

    4. Decide whether you want to put Jax in late in a close game during the playoffs. (I know this is part of 2 but you didn't mention him and he terrifies me, at least lately.)
  17. big dog
    I really like Wallner's long-term potential, but I agree that he's not inspiring much confidence right now. Hopefully he can trend up over the last couple of weeks of the season.
  18. big dog
    Real Old Testament stuff.

    Never start a land war in Asia
  20. big dog
    Or forget about his last 3 years, for that matter.
  21. big dog
    He played for parts of 8 years and his career earnings are estimated at over $13 million. That wouldn’t be too bad.
  22. big dog
    Or you should in a fantasy league that gives bonus points for suspensions.
  23. big dog
    I'm seriously ready to have Correa bunt with two runners on, even with one out. This is getting ridiculous.
  24. big dog
    Once again, the home plate ump had too much of an impact on the game. That was a bad call, Julien getting a strike called at 3-1 with the bases loaded was a bad call, and I'm glad he appeared to blow the pitch that was strike 3 to end the game. But yikes. I only watched the second half of the game, and while doing other things, so there may have been other obvious bad calls earlier.

    Let's not forget one of the veterans, Donovan Solano. He's really had a month- great contact, clutch hits, playing different positions. Nice work!
