    Lance 3 Runs currently. Damn.

    He still has value out of the bullpen. He can easily go 2 scoreless IP each time.

    Not sure why it's silly. Awards and leaderboards don't matter in the postseason. The postseason is all anyone should care about until the postseason is over. Then people have all winter to talk about that stuff.

    Unless Lance completely dominated I don’t see how you would go with him in game 3. I think he did ok today and would be fine with him going forward if he was the only option but he’s been outpitched in the 2nd half. Put Peacock as your number 3 and let LMJ and Morton let it all out in the pen.

    Hoyt/Sipp is a giveaway we want to play Boston in rd 1 rather than Yanks

    Why would he be on the roster ahead of McHugh?

    This only states the obvious. Not sure why you felt the need.

    I was speaking big scheme. Awards/stats build legacy and are great for both individual players and their franchises.
    So since postseason isn't over -- it hasn't begun yet, btw -- we shouldn't mention/notice/discuss anything not postseason-related?

    Yep, super silly.

    I felt they made some good contact on Pomeranz. He has been fortunate on several occasions today.

    Yes, there's hope. He went 6.1 IP / 1 R earlier this year @ MMP.

    Maybe we find more holes in the playoffs.

    Morton/McCullers should tandem a game in my opinion. Both guys do not have trouble getting guys out two times through the order.
