Kolek planning to go pro
Abreu is such a weapon in that pen.And Dusty went to Pressly at the right time. Montero was brutal last night. Saved the game.
Awesome you were at one of the most historic moments in baseball history with your dad.
Truly happy for Dusty Baker.
Hadn't heard you mention that before.
Amen. Watched the post-game, which I never do, just to see Dusty. Great ending to his career. (Despite him ruining Mark Prior.)
Peña was the obvious choice for Series MVP, but Pressly would have been a great pick too.
Fitting ending to the playoffs though.Pull your ace and bring in the lefty to face Alvarez.HE DESTROYS lefties.And just like game 4. Alvarado has to still face Bregman after due to the rules.Astros have absolute weapons in their pen, they can go to those guys whenever they want. Jose alvarado is not a priority reliever.
A fitting outcome. Houston was good all year. Phillie got hot and got close. The better team won.
Their ace wasn’t exactly an ace all postseason. In the prior World Series game he gave up a 5th inning, 2 run home run to Bregman after walking Alveraz. He had just walked a batter and given up a hit.Yes, Alveraz kills lefties. But his numbers are even better against righties. And Bregman’s numbers are SIGNIFICANTLY worse against lefties.
Obvious???Valdez would also like a word winning 2 games and dominating both.
He had a 2.78 this post season. Which factors in his start against Atlanta where they had a 3 run inning on like 3 scratch hits and one that shoulda been an error on Hoskins.Weve already seen Alvarado tank in very similar spot. Now, if its the Astros pen and you got Abreu, Stank, Montero as options?? Do it.Jose Alvardo isnt a priority over your ace.
The Brewers trading away their best offensive player for 2 meh pitchers and a pitching prospect is an interesting move.
Renfroe only under contract for one more year and is on his 5th team in 5 years. Hopefully not the biggest move they make this offseason. It’s not a splashy move, but getting some pitching depth doesn’t hurt if you can reasonably replace Renfroe’s production.
Hunter Renfroe being the Brewers' "best offensive player" speaks volumes about why they're not legit contenders.
