    Just looks like a normal post-game night in America

    The f*** are you talking about?
  3. Masterbather
    How about being Cincinnati and blowing a 9-0 lead at home against Pittsburgh in an absolute must-win to stay in touch? Talk about a giant rusty s***** nail in the coffin.

    So if there's a tiebreaker between Houston, Toronto and Seattle, it would go to head to head against those teams. Since we're 7-6 and Seattle has crushed Houston this season, I guess Seattle finishes first, we finish second and Houston finishes third, which means Houston's out, we're wildcard 3 and Seattle is wildcard 2. Is this correct?
  5. Masterbather
    Houston losing 6 of 8 games (so far) to Kansas City and Oakland down the stretch. It was on a silver platter and they knocked the platter and all the champagne over. Sports are wild.

    I'll let you know after tomorrow's results.

    So what happens if there's a tie for second in the West and they're tied with the Blue Jays record wise? Is the order in the west determined first and then the order of the wild card or are they all considered tied for a wild card and there's a three-way tie break?
  8. Masterbather
    He's a team knob gobbler. I do wish we weren't exposed to Seattle's broadcast.

    I'm not sure what was available, maybe asking prices just weren't met, like with Hader. I certainly have been putting blame on the front office all season. I didn't like the off-season, I was surprised how many people here seemed to like what they did. I didn't think we're closer to a world series this year than we were last year and I didn't think we were a world series team last year. 2021 may have been the window, and we let a lousy bullpen destroy that. They built a very good team, but It's a little too deficient. Granted there aren't a lot of great teams out there outside of Atlanta due to injuries and suspensions and whatnot. If our offense was just a little bit better, or if our rotation just have a little bit more frontline talent, I might believe in this team given the competition, but it just seems to fall a little too short for me.

    It would make a difference in the playoffs to have a guy like Bautista with consistent one-run leads. We have a pitching staff that's constantly pitching with a gun to its head because of our offense. It's not like we have three aces to constantly hold teams down to one or two runs either. The closer you play to the margins the better your pitching has to be to lock it down. It's not Romano's fault but it does magnify his role.
  11. Masterbather
    It was hard to watch but I forced myself to. You ignored everything else I said. The type of team we have puts incredible pressure on our bullpen and closer, if we were better in other areas we wouldn't have to be perfect at the end.
  12. Masterbather
    Nobody expects anybody to be Rivera, Spanky is just being a dick.
  13. Masterbather
    See my response to Spanky. If we had a great offense, or better frontline starting talent, we wouldn't need Romano to be elite but this team plays it way too close to the margin. Again, I'm not blaming Romano for that, it's just the reality of the team we have.
  14. Masterbather
    If we had the 2021 offense, or better frontline talent in the rotation, I'd be more than fine with him as the closer, but this team is always going to play on thin margins because of their inability to score a lot of runs. So it puts incredible pressure on the bullpen, especially on the closer always having to defend one run games. If you're going to play like that you kind of need an elite closer. I assume you watched the playoffs last year, I assume you saw what happened to your stud.
  15. Masterbather
    He's fine, exactly, not elite. Some of the guys you name there are clearly better than him. There's a difference between good and great. It matters. I never said he sucked I just said he's not elite. He's about as good as Mayza or Swanson, very good pitchers all of them, but a notch below the upper echelon. Those top guys are tough to get, but it's nice to have them.
  16. Masterbather
    A stud? Come on dude now you're just being stupid.
  17. Masterbather
    It's not hate to say he's not elite because he isn't, but it's not his fault. The results would be no different if we had Garcia in the closers role or Swanson. Just because the manager chose him to be in that role it doesn't mean he's suddenly going to become Mariano Rivera.
  18. Masterbather
    Without an elite pitcher in the bullpen, yeah you have to sort of deal with having him as your closer. Most teams don't have an elite closer so what can you do? I wish we had one of the elite closers in baseball I'll tell you that much. It makes a difference in the postseason, as we've already seen with Romano. It's one of the reasons I don't think this team can win a world series because we don't have enough elite arms. Gausman is the only one.
  19. Masterbather
    That's nice for his ERA. I still maintain what I said.
  20. Masterbather
    Romano, Swanson, Garcia, they are all pretty much the same.
  21. Masterbather
    Romano is not elite, he never was, he's a 3 to 3.5 ERA caliber pitcher who will from time to time give up some runs. So you have to sort of just deal with these losses and move on. It's not his fault. Elite closers are hard to get.
  22. Masterbather
    Never heard of her.
  23. Masterbather
    That's a tough decision, I do love having speed, especially considering it's how we probably have to win games, but having that power bat, a guy who's been there, that has a lot of appeal also. I don't see the argument about redundancy because we don't have a lot of power bats. The injury to Belt came at such a bad time for him and the team. He's missed so much time, his timing is now probably completely screwed up.
  24. Masterbather
    Better than Andrew Miller. Andrew Miller couldn't hold a candle to pen Kikuchi.
  25. Masterbather
    The only way I can do that is if I starve myself of sleep for 3 or 4 days first. Then I might be able to go 12 or 13 hours.
