Yeah, I agree.  I read that his neck stiffness acts up when he swings.  I wonder if its somehow not as bad playing the field, so maybe he's just there as a defensive replacement?

According to Roberts I guess it was just a odd call to go to Barnes. He liked the high heat match up. Dont agree with it when you stack Taylor up against Barnes.

Taylor supposedly starting game 3. If hes not too rusty I think thats the right call. Since Snell is starting im curious if maybe the one replaced is Belly or Lux and not Thompson though.

One has to think the Cardinals epic choke job in the playoffs killed him.

Just because the surgeon general says smoking kills you doesn't mean it's true

I remember watching him on WGN on weekday afternoons.   Great splitter.

The moment Cortes was done after 5 in a tie game.

The live bet of Guardians was pound city. That pen was not gonna lose that duel.

Yanks had to go the starter route and per usual, fail.

They lost in extras.  You act like every decision a manager makes causes the wheels to fall off.  He threw 92 pitches.  He averaged 87 pitches per start.

huh??

I didnt say pulling Cortes was a bad decision.

That is some bullpen the Padres have put together. Great job by their coaching staff getting Hader straightened out.

[4everwarriors]

Attanasio gave him away for nothin', hey?

Some fans were calling for the Brewers to trade Hader's azz for a box of rox, so what do you expect?

Thinkin' a punch and Judy hitter woulda bin fare compensation, aina?

Padres have clearly won both the Grisham and Hader trade. Who will they fleece us on next?

Depends on whose contract he wants to dump next, hey?

[Dish]

Crazy to think of a possible Padres/Phillies NLCS. Most of September, both teams were sputtering.

Baseball happens.

Yeah that's a weird statement. Urias has been better than Grisham and Lauer was a steal over Davies.

But I guess Grisham had a good playoff game three years later. 🙄

Right. Grisham has gotten hot for a 4 game playoff sample size. After hitting well below .200 the entire season.

[StillAWarrior]

My son surprised me with Guardians tickets tonight. Can't wait! It's nice having kids who earn their own money (and spend it on you).

[CreightonWarrior]

Was mainly joking about Grisham based on the home run but Urias has been pretty meh. Lauer has probably turned out to be the best player in trade.

[tower912]

I am kind of missing starting with a runner on second in extra innings.
