I dont for the life of me understand some of these roster choices made by ALL the managers. Verlander from relief? Just stick to what has gotten you there.
Fair enough! But it was changed this year :)
It is a neat wrinkle. I was halfway joking with my original post. Fenway is iconic and shouldnt be changed much honestly. I just seriously dont understand the loading dock door in CF. It's an injury-risk and doesnt seem like it would take much to...
Fenway, upon further inspection, is a bad park. What's up with the loading dock in CF? They cant make the outfield look a little less like the back of a Krogers? Also, the whole "Bermuda Triangle" part is a joke. How about some semi-normal dimensions. People might call it quaint and...
Agreed!!! Hinch did the same thing in Game 3 by putting in Liriano to face Devers. I dont know why your tactics have to change so drastically....
Anywho, it looks like the Astros will wait for Game 5 to see who they face. Yankees would be nice b/c we would get homefield advantage. Indians...
I guess we will get one good series out of 4? The Dodgers, Astros, and Indians look pretty good to advance. I cant wait until the Astros/Indians series. It should be a really good one.
...A look to the future.
The Astros are in the middle of a great (and hopefully long) playoff run. While at Game 1, my buddies and I had the discussion of who should be part of the core that the Astros lock up long-term. Most of their youthful players are in arbitration or almost there. Here's...
Not only that, but he had a great year against the Astros too. I'm telling y'all, this team is laser-focused. They have this moxy. I truly don't think anyone will beat them. They are dominant in almost every aspect. Their only real weakness is their inability to throw runners out on the...
I dont understand the stat padding argument for Westbrook or Harden. Neither does it. They both have big numbers for their teams because they have to. They dont have 2 or 3 other superstars surrounding them. Nobody accused Steph of stat padding last year when he shot as many 3's as he did...
freaking West Ham cant do anything right. All i needed was for them to hold on in the last minutes. I don't know what surprises me more, the fact that they almost won a point against the Spurs, or that they scored twice on one of the stingiest backfields in the league. So close, and then one of...
I started following Everton when they bought Tim Howard a few years back. I have enjoyed watching them play. They lacked a lot of creativity and offensive output with Martinez at the helm, but they seem to have found a spark under Koeman. They aren't one of the top 5 clubs, but they have a...
