OT: MLB Thread XLII: OCTOBER

[Machinehead]

Torres won't get anything near the strikezone with KayKay Gregorius on deck.

 

[Cassano]

Man we need a few runs here, we aren't going to get chances like this often

 

[Irishguy42]

Oh right. DD is up. Same theory as above.

 

[Cassano]

Why didn't he take a pitch Lol

 

[Irishguy42]

Well...at least the contact is there early, so that's good.

 

[Machinehead]

Tries to pull the ball with not a single fielder on the left side.

Dumbest team in baseball.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Are Gardner, EE, and Didi serious? Any schmuck off the street could put up a better fight.

 

[Irishguy42]

Where is all the patience these guys had during the RS?

Like...that was the whole point of why this lineup won 103 games.

 

[LeetchisGod]

There are numerous guys on this team that I'm ready to send packing in the offseason. Hopefully Cashman learned a lesson from what DJ has done. Need more high average, smart hitters on this team.

 

[RGY]

Severino with 36 pitches in the 1st inning. When is the guy going to step up and be the leader of the staff. take control. All he does is falter and choke

 

[Irishguy42]

36 pitch inning for Sevy

14 for Cole, even though he let bases get loaded.

Huh...

 

[Cassano]

There are numerous guys on this team that I'm ready to send packing in the offseason.

Didi is one of them for sure. Torres and LeMahieu back to their positions and Voit back to 1B please

Nah dude, it's Boone's fault.

 

[RGY]

Gardner not bunting. Gotta love that. Were above making the Astros defense make a play on a fast batter who can drop a bunt and move the runners

 

[Cassano]

Severino with 36 pitches in the 1st inning. When is the guy going to step up and be the leader of the staff. take control. All he does is falter and choke

The leader of our staff is Tanaka. That has been the case since he signed with the team.

 

[Machinehead]

Severino with 36 pitches in the 1st inning. When is the guy going to step up and be the leader of the staff. take control. All he does is falter and choke

He's not.

He's the Dominican Kershaw.

 

[RGY]

Nah dude, it's Boone's fault.

Id say with the way our starters have come out in the 1st inning all year, its FF Rothschilds fault

 

[2Leetch_94]

Nah dude, it's Boone's fault.

Definitely Boone's fault for insisting to bat Gardner 3rd and EE 4th but at some point the starting pitching needs to remove their heads from their collective behinds.

 

[bl02]

Was hoping for a quick top half of the second. oh well

 

[Irishguy42]

When does Tanaka's bionic arm surgery happen?

Not soon enough...

 

[RGY]

I hate the Astros. Hate them.

Severino f***ing sucks. Absolutely SUCKS.

this pitching staff is a joke. And the only person to blame is that shithead Cashman

 

[LeetchisGod]

Didi is one of them for sure. Torres and LeMahieu back to their positions and Voit back to 1B please

Voit struck out 142 times in 429 at bats. That is abysmal. he's another guy who won't do jack against quality pitching.

 

[RGY]

This team is absolutely f***ed. Severino f***s us yet again. I really cant stand him. This guy is pathetic. He is fools gold. Thats what he is.

 

[Irishguy42]

Giving up two is recoverable...I think once we give up four, it's 100% over.

Dammit...this was not the season to have German and Betances go down...

 

[LeetchisGod]

Severino doesn't have the mentality to be an ace. Comes up small in big spots constantly.
