All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. All games are broadcast on AT&T Sports SW unless otherwise noted. 5-25 Clayton Kershaw (L) vs. Zack Greinke (R) 7:10 FS1 5-26 Trevor Bauer (R) vs. Luis Garcia (R) 6:40 ESPN
Zack Greinke Christian Javier Lance McCullers Jr. Framber Valdez Jake Odorizzi or Jose Urquidy Framber Valdez, Jose Urquidy, Jake Odorizzi are really needed in the rotation. The Starters can be sent to the bullpen. I personally want Christian Javier as a Starter. Urquidy or Odorizzi needs to prove themselves for a spot in the Rotation. Scrubb needs to be sent down. Stanek is up and down. Luis Garcia as Setup Man with Abreu and Parades. 6th Luis Garcia 7th Bryan Abreu 8th Enoli Parades 9th Ryan Pressley
homeboy thrives off that ****. we're better off not doing anything at all when he's pitching, just dead silence.
I'm going w/ Urquidy in the rotation over Javier. Javier needs to figure out his fastball control issues. I also like that Urquidy is more efficient and goes longer in his starts. I also think Javier's stuff plays well in the bullpen.
So.... Trevor Bauer is obviously cheating, he doesn't hide it, but MLB not doing anything? The xBA on his 4-seamer was around the .260s w/ the Indians, but dramatically dropped to the .160s after the Indians. The big difference is the spin rate on his 4-seamer has increased ~400rpm The Astros didn't get any statistical improvements from sign-stealing, but pitcher's using illegal substances do. Hmmm... what am I missing here?
A whistle blower... and a media blitz that can effectively target a soft media market (Houston) without any repercussion/backlash that will impact their sources or future job potential.
The problem with the Dodgers is that some of their players are as delusional as their fan base. I guess since they finally won something they possibly don’t care as much, but **** those disingenuous assholes.
Also read that Urquidy out of the pen isn't as good, compared to being a starter. Javier was good coming out of the pen.
