i think you need to write the sabermetrics book on:
a. playoff elimination game
b. NL, no-DH
c. on the road
d. fall behind in mid-innings, so bottom of 9th may never come ...
your best reliever is your closer, what does “the book” say to do with him?
(P.S. no Grilli last nite ... until the bitter end)
He resides in a Shoney's parking lot in the TAM-STP area...
His name, only to be spoken in hushed and revered tones is: His Highness Lordius of Baseballium, Josephus Maddonium II
It’s ¡MAURO TIME!
You use him Pete, use him. Don’t lose with your best bullet still in the chamber.
Expected result last night, no way “Sonny Gray” was gonna shut out that lineup again. The Tigers have the best 1-2 punch, Verlander (3 and 7) and Sherzer (2 and 6) should both to able to go twice if necessary, correct?
I predict Tigers/Dodgers. I’ll be rooting for STL though.
BTW GOPSTER I heard Mike Illich and family are big dems, his daughter has considered running for Governor,though like most billionaires he’s given money to both sides, he loves GOP Rep. Candace Miller for some reason. Maybe Cripplecreek can tell us more about him.
Fun fact, Illich has been given a key to the city in D-town. So has Saddam Hussein, in 1980 because he gave a lot of money to a Chaldean Church there! Funny thing is they’d be better off today with Mayor Saddam. Especially if he would gas the gang members.
Is it just me or is Oakland too reliant on the long ball? Beane and Maddon need to quit their jobs and team up in Houston baby!! Lets see what 2 geniuses can do, together!
