  1. I'm curious about how Texas arranges their rotation. Thursday - Hamels Friday - Darvish Sunday - Lewis/Holland/Perez Monday - ??? Wednesday - ??? They pretty much have to use Hamels on Monday on 3 days rest, because that sets Darvish up for game 5 on regular rest. Would Bannister consider using a gas can for game 4 and Hamels for game 5?
  2. Texas' 15-13 September/October is evidence that they're doomed, but Toronto's 13-16 is no biggie?
  3. I remember commenting on this in the GDT. Nobody will criticize him for it, because most managers probably would have done the same thing, but leaving Tillman out there for the 5th inning was not rational at all. I think everyone recognizes that Tillman is a worse pitcher than Givens, Brach, O'Day, and Britton. He managed to get you through 4 innings with a 1-run lead, which meant that he had carried you just far enough that your horses in the bullpen could close it out. Take him out, and let the better, fresher arms finish things off. Everyone is talking about how being a slave to the save cost him, but being a slave to the win is the only reason he was in the extra innings game in the first place. I think we all know that if Tillman gets through 5 and puts himself in line for the W, he was finished.
  4. Does anyone actually dislike Joe Maddon?
  5. The reality is that there wasn't going to be a higher leverage situation than going through the heart of the order in the bottom of the 11th of a tie game. Especially when runners were on base. The leverage of that situation dwarfs the leverage of a 1-run save situation. It was a truly terrible decision.
  6. I feel like you don't really grasp the danger involved with throwing a baseball 90+ mph at someone's head.
  7. I guess Ned Yost has to wait until 2017.
  8. It's actually pretty tough to argue that Buck should be fired. The players seem to really like him, and he's held the room together well enough to have a long stretch of success with a mediocre team. He made a very bad, terrible sequence of decisions yesterday though.
  9. Yikes. This is a game.
  10. Well, that's probably not all that accurate a representation of their skills because they played most of the year with Fielder and without Choo, Beltran, and Lucroy. I think Texas is legitimately dangerous, with the obvious weak spot being the rotation after Hamels and Darvish,. They're going to throw two very bad starters out there in a 5-game series.
  11. This one looks the best on that smug piece of s***.
  12. He's getting crucified on twitter, and by respect baseball people.
  13. So Buck Showalter just lost a winner-take all elimination game that went 11 innings by deciding to use Ubaldo Jimenez over what might be a top-5 pitcher in the world.
  14. It's ridiculous that they got two actual prospects just to take him on.
  15. If Britton was available, that was the worst managing I've ever seen.
  16. "This team is so disappointing. Yeah and I don't want to hear you cheerleaders say it was a good year. This team needs to totally change the way they play baseball. Sign some more Michael bournes and get rid of these guys that swing for the fences and swing at balls in the dirt. Need a new culture." SIGN MORE MICHAEL BOURNS
  17. "Ef you. All of it. I hate everything. This was the most insane piece of crap thing I've ever spent my life doing, watching this abysmal frustrating piece of garbage team blow the game like this. I can't believe our bad luck. We are freaking snake bitten. If it's not one thing it's another. They bring in a starter and he shuts us down. We bring in Ubaldo, the guy everyone wanted to start this game, and he loses it before recording a single god damn mother effing useless effing out. To hell with all of it. What a effing disgusting travesty. To those effing scum bags. They don't deserve it. Bunch of freaking losers."
  18. Someone post up juicy quotes!
  19. The only thing that can make this better is Showalter saying that he was waiting to use Britton for the save.
