    In fact, most people would probably benefit if they weren't!

    I'm 4-1 on the season. I guess that I'll just have to keep going to games. Shucks.

    That Sanchez ball just died.
  4. wsnydes
    From my angle, I'm shocked that went out too. That ball just kept carrying. Looked like a lazy-ish fly ball off the bat.

    I thought it was Buxton NFT night?

    Nah, just cloudy. There was some spotty stuff that moved through earlier, but should be fine for the game. Rain overnight in the forecast though. It is pretty nice out, despite being overcast.

    Another beautiful night for a ballgame. Empty seats seem aplenty...again. Hopefully the game is as nice as the weather is!

    Lewis can't get a break. I feel pretty bad for the guy. I hope he has a full and speedy recovery!

    That dude can't catch a break. I hope he has a speedy, and full recovery.

    That's one way to do it, sure. I don't think there's any written rules governing how it has to be done. As for using your best arms, @Vanimal46has a post upthread about that.

    I wasn't planning a 3 inning start, just using that as a reference to a short start. I would agree that planning for a 3 inning start is silly in most scenarios. If that's what the standard becomes, then a starter is really meaningless.

    New team, new series!  Bring on the Rays!

    I agree on the short starts thing, and that still kind of exists even with the opener if you're using an Archer or Bundy to piggyback the opener. That 3 inning start just occurs one inning later, getting you to the 4th. I'm not a fan of the opener concept, it's not "baseball" to me. But, to me, it doesn't expose the bullpen more than it already would if the starter has a short start. It just means that the guy that would have pitched that 4th inning is now pitching in the 1st inning instead. Everything else stacks up behind that just as it would had the starter only gone 3 innings and that same reliever pitched the 4th in a conventional situation. The bullpen still has to pitch 6 innings of the game either way.

    They should make a movie about that scenario!

    A short start isn't much different from an opener situation though. the order is just reversed. I agree that they're not really set up for it right now with all of the injuries, but that's why I mentioned the health of the staff. They lack a true long man, which makes it difficult carrying both Archer and Bundy, but if the starters get healthy, one or both could be used as a long man in an opener situation.

    Interesting thought. Kind of a pick your poison given the dearth of bullpen options, but the starter options aren't exactly ample either. Definitely not the worst idea, and in some situations, might be the best. This would be easier if the pitching options got healthy too. I'm also at a point where thinking outside the box a little like this makes a ton of sense. End "verbal" thought process...

    True, but I was trying to roll with the bit!
  18. wsnydes
    I was actually going to give Rocco props for playing him deep enough to get some style points.

    LaRussa called for an intentional walk of Trea Turner on a 1-2 count?!  Really?

    Glenn nailed it. He's no Nostradamus for it, but he nailed it.
  21. wsnydes
    I didn't watch live, but have seen some clips and done some reading on it. Kinda wish that I had watched now. Anxious to see how the rest unfolds.
  22. wsnydes
    Let this be a lesson for you!
  23. wsnydes
    I lost count at two.
  24. wsnydes
    Those were happier times back then. Our squad was triumphant, masterful. Now look at them!
  25. wsnydes
    As someone that has done that more often than I should, it doesn't help.
