You don't yank a legend early in the game, that's ridiculous. And you're speaking about Dusty Baker who leaves in his starter until the wheels fall off.
Just looking at the splits. If there is a need for a lefty specialist, Brown has been better against lefties than righties. So we have the lefty specialist.
Haha. Yeah you’re right. I was thinking the day off in between games allowed him to pitch game two. I counted wrong.
This hand ringing over the is so odd. Every year any team that wants to gets approval for these guys to be put on the roster without any objection from the league. It's a running joke every time a team calls up a guy late in the year that wasn't on the 40 man. Prospect guys will tweet out "Ask me your version of 'will this guy be playoff eligible' so I can say yes without reading it."
Astros only have two players that THROW left-handed on their roster... Chas and Framber. Mancini and Yordan both throw righty.
There is no hand wringing. It's one poster who has had himself whipped into a frenzy since August 29th and everyone else telling him- relax dude, that's not how any of this works. And now, when it happened exactly how we said it would all happen he still won't admit he's being silly.
DH'ing Vasquez would be embarrassing. His bat is decent for a catcher but atrocious for a DH. That's the kind of **** an 80+ loss team does.
The way the first round is scheduled even 12 pitchers is likely way too many, we shouldn't even need a 4th starter until a possible game 5 and all of the relievers can pitch pretty much every game. The ALCS should we get there will be the hard calls.
