    Is it gonna be another huge lead and JV can't get through the 5th inning for the win again?

    Obviously you’re vagina-ing out big-time right now…. I’m glad that saying Singleton didn’t have MLB pedigree somehow outweighs the thousands of useless/baseless/reactionary posts you wage.

    Stop fighting with me… stop analyzing and petering over every post I make. if you don’t agree, just don’t agree. We don’t need analysis of why you don’t like what I say… its off-putting.

    I don’t even need to watch this game to know he’s not one of the four best SP options we have right now. Doing these mental gymnastics to justify why he should get a playoff start is pointless.

    Because had they simply beaten the Orioles last night and today then that would have forced the hand of the Royals to pitch Ragans tomorrow with a loss tonight.

    Rocco literally gave up in the 8th inning of a 4-2 game by putting in his worst option out of the pen, who proceeded to give up 4 more runs.

    Look for Baldelli to be fired Monday morning.

    I’m not justifying anything… theres a difference between saying he’s an option and saying he has to get a start.

    I don’t see him as top 4 right now either, but I also know that Blanco (and Spencer) could be used as bullpen guys at some point given their experience… and whatever the differently managed playoff game context calls for.

    Still a possibility if they beat the Braves today. A Tigers loss and Royals win tomorrow gives them the 5th seed.

    Correct.

    JV is toast. And I'm his biggest supporter.

    You think they are pitching Ragans to try to get the 5th seed?

    No way, no how.

    They are perfectly set for:

    Ragans
    Wacha
    Lugo

    Kinda surprised they are pitching Lugo. Maybe he'll just go 2-3 innings.

    Welp guys, it's been real fun but about to board a 15 hour flight for a 3 week trip to SW Asia/India. Hopefully our boys will still be playing when I get back.

    That’s what I mean. It wasn't his “pedigree” you attacked. You said he couldn't hit major league pitching. Again, as if you saw some flaw that none of us saw. I hope it wasn’t simply the back of the baseball card providing your expert analysis. That’s not what you said then.


    And then there was your Diaz analysis.

    That Diaz needed a break from catching to start hitting? You’re welcome!

    Seriously, you got a hard-on for these posts… and defending Chas… and don’t make this thing where you want everybody to see every bullshit post you’ve made and try and make a mountain out of it… or erection if that suits you better.

    If you’re better, be better. It makes this place better.

    What if Verlander throws his fastball at 91 instead of 94 but pinpoints it like a drunken master. Transforms himself into a groundball pitcher.

    Roy O was on 610 pimping his Tequila but said something wise. "I could have pitched another 5 years, winning 8 games here and there. But I had to have an honest conversation with myself. Verlander is going to have to do the same."

    Pick a WC series scenario you prefer:

    1) Astros up 1-0, no Yordan the entire series, but is healthy for the remaining playoffs.
    or
    2) Astros down 0-1, Yordan returns healthy for game 2 and beyond.

    1st scenario 100%. Did the Royals ever get back 1B that injured himself on Diaz?

    Lol, well now this is just rude, snooty nonsense. Also, you know that’s not what you said about Diaz. Especially last year.

    As a rookie, he was a better hitter than he was a catcher. Not a lot of rookie catchers thrive off the bat.

    Hard-on over these posts again. Your old laundry stinks consistently. and its pronounced snotty…
