    Everybody relax, we got the next two.
  2. Masterbather
    Okay, I appreciate the Jays' possum strategy. Surely this is where we surprise them here.
  3. Masterbather
    Is it really worth using our only late game lefty here? Are they conserving Manoah in case they want him to pitch on short rest WHEN we advance?
  4. Masterbather
    Manoah can be scattergun with his fastball, that's nothing new, and he doesn't have the same wipeout stuff as most aces so there's going to be contact. Just the nature of who he is. Hopefully he settles down or we may actually need Kuch to eat innings today lol.
  5. Masterbather
    Well that's less than ideal.
  6. Masterbather
    Arm side fastballs are an issue for him at least a few times a game it seems.
  7. Masterbather
    Phillies missed a big opportunity there.
  8. Masterbather
    Almost worked for the Rays. If they got a blooper after that stolen base, it's tied because of a steal.
  9. Masterbather
    Tampa/Cleveland so far is going exactly as expected in terms of dominant pitching. Not a lot of runs to be had in this series.
  10. Masterbather
    Projections don't mean much in a three-game series. Haggerty could get you a key stolen base that could help win you a series, that alone might make him more valuable over three games.

    Jays in 3 Rays in 2 Philly in 2 Mets in 3
  12. Masterbather
    Tapia is one seriously stupid f***.
  13. Masterbather
    It's actually amazing how terrible Zimmer is at the plate.
  14. Masterbather
    Okay forget the whole forfeiture thing, I still like it, but obviously people would get really pissy about it in major professional sports, so we'll just keep it to curling.
  15. Masterbather
    Starting to doubt if they'll be on the wild card roster at all. Maybe one of them has a pinch hitter, likely Gurriel.
  16. Masterbather
    Well I'm sure the players union might have something to say about forcing a kid to throw 200 pitches 🙂 But I get your point, I'm sure they will try to get as many innings out of that trio as they possibly can outside of any innings some of their regulars might want just to get some work in. Richards is going to start game one, I could see three or four other regulars wanting to throw at least a few pitches.

    Stop being so dramatic. First of all, it would rarely be used for entire games, most of the time it would be blow outs. Second of all, as far as entire games go, you could have missed any one of those things you mentioned above if the game had been canceled for any other legitimate reason. Never have teams been more concerned with protecting their assets as they are now, forfeiting games helps protect your assets and quite frankly why should teams care whether you want to go see the first round draft pick have four at bats or the left fielder pitch an inning? Now, I do understand why Major League Baseball would care and thus it's probably a pipe dream to ever see forfeits, but if it was just up to the teams themselves, I'm sure a lot of them have already thought about it and would do it in a heartbeat if they knew it wouldn't create a groundswell of s*** from media and MLB. For me? Forfeits exist to some extent in other venues, so I don't think it's a big deal. It's just the more alien to major professional sports leagues and their fan so people freak out about the idea of it.
  18. Masterbather
    Seattle it is.
  19. Masterbather
    I think there are very specific circumstances where it could happen especially in blow out games. Regardless, some of these games are becoming a farce. The blue jays lineup tomorrow will probably be farce. The Mariners using a catcher to pitch in a tie game in Extra innings is a farce. Forfeits would have more honor than this stuff.
  20. Masterbather
    I would do it, but whatever, I know it's not realistic I just hope nobody gets hurt.
  21. Masterbather
    The Mariners just had their catcher pitching in extra innings. But they couldn't stop their hitters from winning.
  22. Masterbather
    I would at least ask about what the penalties would be if choosing to forfeit. If they're not that bad it might be worth it. At some point some major league team is going to do this unless there's substantial penalties against it.
  23. Masterbather
    Do you think it's more of a New York thing? I get the sense of a lot of people are using the American League record thing as code for *real* single season record. It's probably a combination of both the fact that it's a non-steroid record and that it's New York.
  24. Masterbather
    I didn't mean you in particular, I mean all the media hoopla around what people claim to be a celebration of the American League record when in fact we all know no one ever cares about those records.
  25. Masterbather
    No American League or national league record ever gets treated like this unless it's the major League record. So is everybody done pretending that they're celebrating the "American League" record and just admit that they're celebrating what they believe to be the major League record?
