Finally pick up a game on Cle. Sit Altuve and Springer the next day. Put White, Kemp, Maybin, and Fisher out there with 9 days left in the season and 1.5 games out of the 1 seed. There's ample time for rest once our seed is locked, and, worst case, they get 2 days off even if they play down to the final day of the regular season. Hinch is our biggest obstacle to overcome to win a title.
Bauer has had a great August followed by a very good Sept. Last night he was rolling along and I was impressed with how sharp his stuff was and how helpless Mariners looked. Dude is still 26. I was just impressed. Oddly enough, I like our chances against him in playoffs despite how badly he's owned us.
I would like to request that the mods go back to my posts from pre-non waiver trade deadline where I said trading for Verlander was a terrible idea and burn them with fire.
If anyone has time, please go look in the Rockets forum. Total meltdown. Sometimes it is fun to bask in others misery. Glad we have the Stros.
Eh Melo wouldn't have put us over GSW... my hope was it would lure Lebron here to form the banana boat crew + Harden... oh well such is life.
