What are we thinking is Scherzer's max tonight... 3 innings? maybe 4?? Or just let him go until there's even the most remote sign of trouble and yank him??
I expect a big game/moment from Barger. He will certainly want to attone for last night's gaffe.
Of the starting 9 in the playoffs... has anyone not had their post season "moment"
Might be Lukes' time to shine
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT AFTER SCHNEIDER MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN THE HISTORY OF ALL OF SPORTS IN THE ENTIRE 14 BILLION YEARS OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE UNIVERSE YESTERDAY BY WALKING OHTANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'm having panic attacks, alright? The other night I thought I was having a f***ing heart attack. I puked in a trash barrel on the way over here. I haven't slept for f***ing weeks."
A quote from Leo Dicaprio in The Departed, but oddly applicable here.
Two very bad mistakes there in the 9th... Ernie and Barger both waaaaaaay to anxious to make something happen.
Thats an awful way to waste 2 runners in scoring position with none out.
It wasn't an egregious move. Questionable... okay, but you set up the DP by walking one of the best hitters on the planet... it's hardly the kind of monumental clusterf*ck they are making it out to be
This.
Gausman threw 5 innings of 3 up, 3 down. One rough inning.
Jays have even Yamamoto hard, they just weren't able to string them together all at once. There's still a chance here though. There's some magic left in the sticks yet
Was definitely talk of using Ohtani in game 7,
But if they do they'll have to either use him as an opener, or start him in the OF.
If he starts at DH and then goes to pitch later, they lose the DH spot.
Freaks like Randy Johnson don't exist anymore. And he was probably the first guy to do it in 60 years or something prior. It's not something to be concerned about
There is no way s guy who just threw close to 100 pitches would be available the next day. Just will not happen. Not sure if you've ever felt what a pitcher's arm feels like the day after a start, but its not something you can just will yourself through. It's swollen, inflamed and all kinds of f***ed up
