We did not need a duplicate. So I merged them. I do it all the time.

The All Star game makes closers look laughably overrated. Give an ace 1-2 innings and it's impossible to score.

[Rene88]

Ha ha, I don't mind. Just playin'

[Rene88]

Sounds like Cano will be fine.

Looking like a pitchers duel tonight.

Give them Citi Field as well.

Give them Citi Field as well.

And batters in the other league that have rarely seen them before...

The last 3 years the NL has an ERA of 0.3

Give an ace 1-2 innings and no matter who it is the hitters don't stand a chance.

One what feels like a recent development that I flat out don't get are set-up guys like Delabar from Toronto making the all-star team.

So, you think that having 14 Aces going two innings every third day is the wave of the future? I guess that is something that gets talked about. I do agree about closers...expect that it is at the end of the game.

Hot quick. Able to go multiple innings.

[Rene88]

I haven't even heard of this pitcher and his stats are filthy.

No I don't. I just believe relievers of any sort are just overrated
