    To me, This ten game road trip, if nothing else, demonstrates the importance of having a strong bullpen. The bullpen played a big role in winning, or losing, all but one of these games, IIRC. Not every game works that way, but having the better pitcher on the mound, and/or having favorable matchups, from the seventh inning on, is really really important over a season. You need quality, and you need depth. I'm in the minority, but it would be OK with me if Trevor May was in the 2016 pen. I think the team would probably be better off.

    I'll go out on a limb here and speculate it was a LH pinch hitter for a rookie RH hitter, against a RH pitcher, in a situation where one out is all you have to play with. It's not all that complicated.

    I don't know about 800. I mean the kid looks good and all, don't get me wrong. But there's less than 40 games left.

    Well, that's why they play the games. A chip and a chair. They put their pants on one leg at a time, too. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. 90 ft from home to first for both teams. Stranger things have happened.

    Advances in this area would be pretty damn valuable.

    It would be one of the greatest things to happen ever in baseball! Remember though, that would mean ties for the AL East and West divisions, so they'd have to sort that out first, no?

    Concur, but better that than the win going to a TB bullpen flunky!
  8. USAFChief
    winner.

    Hm, three run HR in the top of the first of an 11-7 game, that was not what one would call an esthetic masterpiece. "Go ugly early" I always say.

    Winnah!

    We need RB and Gerald to show up, so we can get Glorm'd.

    We are in need of volunteers for the next two Ray's game threads. PM me, please. No joke.

    From your fingers to FSN's graphics dept.

    When I played sports, I was uniformed.
  15. USAFChief
    I would not be upset with more runs here.

    Jeebus. May is s'posed to be the dependable part.

    Bob Hope died??!?

    Better be going 8 tomorrow, Duffey-zee.
  19. USAFChief
    Me either. Once I'm out, I'm out.
  20. USAFChief
    six outs, three runs to play with. seems doable.

    I remember our first child. Mrs Chief and I were nervous as all get out. Right at the 9 month point, still no baby, and a couple days went by, still nothing. Then one night my wife starts shouting "Can't. Won't! Shouldn't!! MUSTN'T!!!!" I immediately took her out to the car and headed for the hospital. ... The contractions had finally started.
  22. USAFChief
    Someone just had to, didn't they?
  23. USAFChief
    You're welcome.

    I went hunting recently with a couple of my friends. Terrible thing...it's really hot here, my one friend is a bit overweight, and with all the trecking around, he got really, really tired, and keeled over with an apparent heart attack. My other friend frantically called 911, and screamed into the phone "Bill's dropped over dead!" The 911 operator tried to calm us down, and told my friend,"well, lets make sure your friend is really dead." The operator hears the line go silent for a few seconds, then hears a shot. Then my friend comes back on the line and says, "OK, what next?"

    Let's not stop at 10, boys.
