This is a lock. Back up the Brinks trucks. Download the betting apps. Take the signup money and bet the Yankees to sweep the series, Judge over 2.5 HR, Yankees over 25.5 runs, and lastly Josh Donaldso

It's the reverse lock thread, an OH tradition.

Haha, I’m pretty sure DeNiro would beg to differ.   

Funny, for some inexplicable reason I always imagined you’d look like Fred McGriff or Randy Milligan.  I was greatly disappointed!

For some reason, I’ve always envisioned @Sports Guy as looking like a cross between Napoleon Dynamite and Roger Daltrey.  😇

@sportsfan8703 IMO, is like, a 12 year old kid who hacked the password to the family computer after his parents went to bed and has had too much sugar and caffeine.  

In case you're wondering who I resemble, here's a semi accurate portrayal.

I'm not sure what's more concerning - That this was your go-to picture or that no one bats an eye that this was your go-to pic?

I kind of do hate this matchup even if we miss Cole. The Yankees hit Kremer very well (I think Judge has 3 HR off him alone), Cortes absolutely owns us up, down, and sideways, and by game 3 we'll be hoping to just avoid the sweep. 

This is not my favorite opening schedule. Starting in the cold in Boston and opening at home vs the Yanks. Classic MLB scheduling. Meanwhile the Rays are 6-0 after facing Detroit, Washington, and Oakland. Sure, okay.

So if I understand you correctly, you think that the MLB scheduler is, to borrow a phrase from Earl Weaver, "is here just to **** us?"

Though after this series we play 22 straight games against teams that were .500 or below last year.

      Orioles vs Tigers/KC (Wild Card series)

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
