                        It happens a lot. David Price lost today and John Lackey was the other starting pitcher.Azubuike24;1513109 wrote:Not wrong. I'm talking stuff. Mike Minor doesn't have the stuff that Greinke had. Sure, the Braves won. It happens. Teheran is the only one.
When the Dodgers win the series, make sure you stay around in the off-season.

                                Barry Zito and Andy Pettitte have had very successful postseason careers with poor WHIP's, low strikeout totals and above average walk totals. There are metrics for how pitcher's will do without fielders but there is no metric for how a pitcher responds to having a runner on 1st and 3rd with 1 out in the most pressurized situations.

                        And calls one play wrongly twice, that nets it correct, a K! Swing and miss(maybe) and he calls it a foul tip caught for the out, but it obviously hit the dirt.Ironman92;1513358 wrote:C.B. Bucknor doing a game behind the plate in a playoff game is inexcusable.

                                Cardinals didn't hit him greatly but battled Liriano for 101 pitches thru 6 to get him out of the game and the Pirates battled Joe Kelly to 85 pitches thru 5 1/3 to get him out of the game.
Hopefully the next Reds manager understands how this works in the playoffs.
And Marlon Byrd has been a great addition....hopefully Walt understands this next time.

                                Yasiel Puig just unleashed a throw to hold Upton at 2nd after a Freddie Freeman single. Didnt end up being a highlight, but it wouldve been if Upton hadnt slammed on the breaks.

                                Ryu usually gets better as the game goes.  Teheran is on pace to be done by the 4th.  The Braves better add a run here and get it close because I don't see LA letting up offensively.

                                And he'll probably get out of this without giving up a run but still

                                Other than the Upton rip, hard to say Ryu has been bad this inning.  Gotta credit Gattis for that at bat...

                        And again. Two huge mental errors by him to turn what should be a 4-3 game after the top of the third to a tie game with only one out.Heretic;1514074 wrote:Oh, Ryu...you fuuuucccccckkkked up.

Check his numbers on the year after the 2nd inning. It's not my opinion on whether he gets better or worse. Not sure why you keep pointing it out.
Yes, I hate the Braves. I'll bash them whenever it seems like the right time too.

This is what karen does, and this is why everyone hates karen.
