It's not the first time this postseason either. I'm guessing they decide it on a pitcher-by-pitcher basis.

 

Pitcher-by-pitcher, game-by-game. Game 1 of WS is different than Game 6 or 7. Just like a game in May is different than the WS.

 

I really don’t get the uproar over Rays ruining baseball and also the Lailas watching it clutching their cat, stroking it with an even chuckle

 

I’ve seen them stick with starters multiple times this PS and while I don’t watch any Ray games, I can use reasoning to think if they regularly made highly questionable pulls of their good SP, there wouldn’t be any surprise now on the SP’s part when they came for the ball.

 

If you’re in a huge game, you gotta do what you can to win. Back in the day if the Yankees had a #3 that went 6 IP of strong, shutout baseball but they were clinging to 1 run lead in a Gme 7, they may figure to go to Mariano for 6 outs and Gordon (or someone like that) for the 7th. If they don’t go to the pen and give up the lead, in the post-game they’d probably get like 50 different variations of “did you think of putting in Gordon”... so you gotta do what you think is your best chance to win. As long as it doesn’t involve putting in AJ Cole, that’s what you do.

 

Again, this philosophy is different in a non-critical game

Dustin May kind of sucks. I would be selling so hard if I owned him in any dynasty leagues. It’s the Aaron Sanchez problem

Is everyone in the MLB office 65 years old? Who the f*** thinks having Buck Martinez calling the WS is a good idea? All he does is s*** on the way the game is played.

In LOD, I moved May to Gibbers for Corbin and Brandon Marsh, then flipped Corbin for Sixto and Brennen Davis.

 

Dustin May for Sixto Sanchez, Brandon Marsh, and Brennen Davis.

 

Nice, eh?

I'm curious to see how many more years Kevin Kiermaier remains a starter in the majors. Much like Pillar, he's now on the wrong side of 30 and you'd expect he'll turn into a 4th OFer the second his speed decreases.

 

The good news for Kiermaier is the speed continues to be elite.

 

He's an absolute joy to watch and I'll always root for him. Best defensive OFer in baseball and so handsome. I've met him a few times in Spring Training and have a great picture of him with my oldest son that was published in the local newspaper.

Rays have a couple of faster guys with better bats getting close to MLB who can handle CF. Vidal Brujan is the closest to MLB, 80 speed.

Snell pitched so damn well and couldn't even get past the 5th inning...

Did you really have to mention the handsome part? Not that I disagree with you lol.

I don’t think that is exactly what happened!

 

You must be misremembering both trades there. You got Corbin and Davis for May. Then I traded you Marsh and Duran for Corbin. Then I traded Corbin for Marco Luciano (in a bigger deal). Corbin got traded three times last offseason
