Fatty again? Japanese guy? Are we punting this game?

[Governator]

Wait, King's not doing this whole series?

 

 

Edit: With Kawasaki in, I guess it's fitting.

[KingKat]

The team doesn't have a healthy starting MI so rotating the backup guys is pretty inconsequential. Navarro is more puzzling.

1.) Navarro catches Estrada

 

2.) Pennington has the yips

[KingKat]

1.) Navarro catches Estrada

 

 

That's annoying.

[HERPDERP]

free ticket to tonight's game, get it asap

 

 

edit: taken

[HERPDERP]

That's annoying.

 

I guess you could go with Martin the whole seres and throw Thole for Dickey, but why risk a good thing going on with Estrada-Navvy

I'd like Martin to transition to catching pretty much everybody by the playoffs but I suppose the Yankees series isn't necesarilly the best time for changes. This screams of superstition more than good managing though. Is there really any evidence that Navarro calls a better game than Martin?

[Governator]

I'd like Martin to transition to catching pretty much everybody by the playoffs but I suppose the Yankees series isn't necesarilly the best time for that.

 

There's no doubt that will be the plan but I don't think there is a need to transition him to playing every day. In the ALDS there are off days between games 2 & 3 and 4 & 5 and depending how quickly the series ends, there is anywhere from 1-4 days off between the division & championship series. I don't think he'll burn out, the off days probably fit within his current schedule.

[Trouba95]

f*** YOU MUNI. You know it's f***ing King's GDT.

[Trouba95]

Ban this idiot.

[G-Snarls]

Finally a new GDT

 

Was much needed

[G-Snarls]

Go Jays

 

Gotta win the series

[Trouba95]

Guaranteed loss tonight.

[Effit]

I'm not thrilled with the pitching matchup.

[Sorrow]

Fatty again? Japanese guy? Are we punting this game?

 

As it sits today Kawakasi is the back up MIF in the playoffs. He needs some at bats.

[Trouba95]

Why do people hijack other posters' GDT turns? We all know this is King's spot and this idiot Muni does this again. He's lost almost every time.

[Wolf]

Must win game.

Chillax.

I find these the creation of these GDTs fascinating.

 

I certainly don't believe in jinxes or that it makes a difference who starts them, but I find the compulsion to steal one from somebody else (if that's even a thing), with the knowledge that you're going to upset a lot of people by doing so (and that people get so upset!) just really, really, interesting.

[nextyear]

Estrada has a much lower ERA with Navarro catching than Martin (please no time machine remarks regarding the use of ERA). ERA is perfectly legitimate in comparing pitchers on the same team (but not when comparing pitchers on other teams since ERA is so strongly influenced by team defense).

 

I think Navarro is far more cerebral than he is given credit for (maybe because of his accent).

 

I hope Navarro will catch Estrada in the playoffs because they work best together and because Navarro deserves it.

[Trouba95]

Has King even lost vs the Yanks this yr? I don't think so.

Thats why i am going to hijack a playoff one and really send people for a f***ing loup

[500LevelSTH]

Heading to the Dome now, jacked for tonight and tomorrow in attendance big games. Will make the weekend vs TB.

 

Glad Pennington is out, preferred Darwin but cest la vie

[nextyear]

I am excited to watch the game. It was tough to focus on work today.

 

Kawasaki is playing; I hope he gets a couple hits, a walk and maybe a sac bunt, along with being involved in a couple of defensive double plays.

 

How can anyone not like Kawasaki

[burlingtonbandit]

Fatty again? Japanese guy? Are we punting this game?

 

Severino has extreme platoon splits. Pennington has looked awful of late so a day off is probably the right call. Kawa only gets 2-3 ABs likely as you can PH after the 6th and put Barney in for defense.

[Candy Maldonado]

I'm making tomorrow's GDT right now.

It's not fascinating lol. It's beyond annoying and not funny at all. It's a tired joke and makes me want to punch these kids through the screen
