    I mean, where are the holes here? C - Lucroy 1B - Moreland 2B - Odor 3B - Beltre SS - Andrus CF - Desmond RF - Choo LF - Gomez DH - Beltran I see 2 superstars, 6 players that are average or better, and Mitch Moreland. I don't really understand how people think that lineup, with Hamels and Darvish staring probably 4 times out of 5, and Dyson, Jeffress, Bush, and Diekman in the back of the pen, is an easy matchup.

    Who thinks they're dominant? Toronto has probably a 50-55% chance of winning. I was responding you using pythag as the basis for the opinion that the series should be an easy win.

    your dumn

    I don't really care what their pythag is, that's not a team anyone can expect to 'handle easily'. Their run differential was hurt by a lot of things: - Fielder playing most of the season with a bad neck - Choo being out most of the year - Darvish being out most of the year - Lewis, Holland, Perez, Griffin et all gas canning it up Now Fielder is gone, Choo and Darvish are back, and only one gas can will likely pitch in the series. Also, they've added Lucroy, Belltran, Gomez, and Jeffress. They're going to throw all star caliber starters out there in 4 of 5 games, and the only weak spot in their lineup is 1B: they're at least average in the other 8 spots. Looking at their pythag and determining that they should be easy to beat is really, really lazy.

    I think the current arrangement hints at them using Hamels and Darvish twice. They're probably reluctant to use Darvish on 3 days rest, but starting with Hamels allows them to get two starts from each, with Hamels and his rubber arm the only one of the two to go on short rest. Or maybe they'll start Perez and Holland again and we can all laugh!

    I don't understand why you'd focus on this when they absolutely dominated teams that were above 0.500. Is that less telling than a 0.500 record against sub-0.500 teams? I don't think there's any information be gleaned from the distribution of their wins, but your homer level has gone from its annoying baseline to off the charts.

    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?

    Texas' 15-13 September/October is evidence that they're doomed, but Toronto's 13-16 is no biggie?
  9. BTS
    Yes, but... who cares?

    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.

    Does anyone actually dislike Joe Maddon?

    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.
  13. BTS
    I feel like you don't really grasp the danger involved with throwing a baseball 90+ mph at someone's head.
  14. BTS
    I guess Ned Yost has to wait until 2017.
  15. BTS
    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.
  16. BTS
    Yikes. This is a game.
  17. BTS
    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.

    This one looks the best on that smug piece of s***.

    He's getting crucified on twitter, and by respect baseball people.

    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.
  22. BTS
    lmao
  23. BTS
    Did he say what happened?
  24. BTS
    It's ridiculous that they got two actual prospects just to take him on.
  25. BTS
    If Britton was available, that was the worst managing I've ever seen.
