    Again Joe had a front row seat to watching those four relievers go out there and there is no way he could have come up with the fact that King is the answer today. That is a bit worrisome moving forward.

    I was so pissed at Joe for his stupid move that I almost forgot to enjoy this amazing win.

    This team is ****ing AWESOME!!!!

    I love this season so much.

    Plus just look at Kings last 3 outings before today. Very worrisome choice by Joe indeed.

    Nick C cant hit Abreu’s slider, 3 sliders, 3 swinging strikes…. 3 game sweep. Another manager masterpiece. Putting C. Smith in a higher batting order.

    Cam is hitting .271 as a rookie, better than Altuve, Walker, Paredes - I mean wow - we won the Tucker trade.

    And we are on a 98 win pace....right now.

    And best HOME record in the MLB.

    Everything went just as planned. Good job Espada et al ;)

    Also who had the Astros sweeping the Phillies with our semi-garbage lineup? Be honest....

    I tried to tell that to Buck but he mockingly called me Copernicus.

    Maybe he's a believer now.

    I always revert to the eye test in these situations. Just like early in that year after we stupidly signed Montero to that 3-year contract, his era was under 2 but his whip was 1.50 in the middle of May. I said it was smoke and mirrors and it's going to come Crashing Down. And that's exactly what happened. Eye test. It's your best form of judgment.

    They showed some ridiculous stat about the '22 WS last night....

    last ~30 innings of the '22 WS (end of G3 through G6), pitchers gave up:

    3R, 10H, 11BB, 42K

    Philly Fan must hate us extra more now...not that they need a reason to hate anything

    They did. Then they watched replay and retracted that.

    If he believes game logs.

    today was King’s 4th shaky outing in a row.
