By the middle of next week we will know if we will win the division or the wild card.

Frustrating that we needed to sweep the lowly Cardinals at a key part of the year.

We should just be happy we're going to the playoffs. This team arrived early, just enjoy it. The best is yet to come.

I know its baseball, but this was a game we needed to win...and we faced one of the most hittable pitchers in the game...so frustrating.

 

It's funny - we score 7 off Garrett Cole and knock him out of the game,  and then we do this against a guy limping into retirement.

If it makes you feel any better, they took two out of three on the road against both the Braves and the Reds before coming to OPACY…so they haven’t been that “lowly” of late.

    • I really don't consider Jose Altuve to be a once in a generation baseball player.  A very very good player yes.  Generational?  No. I think GH could be on the other hand.  Why?  Because of his overall athletic ability.  That is all I am saying. 
    • I agree.  Some great baseball players were not great overall athletes.  I just happen to think that Gunnar Henderson is and JH is not. 
    • Gwynn was a great athlete while in high school before he put on all that weight around his midsection while dominating in the Major Leagues. But yes I agree with your overall point.
    • When I mentioned those players above like Deion or a Jordan, yes I know they were not at good at baseball as they were in football and baseball.  I mean obviously lol.  What I meant was those guys were such good athletes that even though they barely played baseball once they committed to their main sports of football and bball, they could still perform at a level as good at or better than many other baseball players who had played baseball their whole lives.  That is special.  Most people would have gone out there and looked like fools trying to play a different sport professionally. For example watch some NBA or football players try to throw a pitch to home plate for an honorary opening pitch.  Some throw like a girl or have no idea how to throw.     They look like Obama haha.  I have seen better throws by some very hot looking K pop girls throwing out a first pitch compared to some pro athletes I have seen.    You would be shocked at how bad many pro athletes are at other sports.  I see it all the time on you tube for example. One group of athletes that imo are some of the best in the world as far as playing and being good at a lot of different sports?  Hockey players.  Just some elite elite athletes in that sport.  Which makes sense.  I have played hockey my entire life and being able to skate and move to the level that pro hockey players do?   Really is amazing.  It is so difficult.  And you would be shocked at how many hockey players are really really good golfers.   Which makes sense as carrying around a hockey stick and having  the touch to make and take passes and shoot is very similar to golf.  All in the hands. 
    • Ok.  I think he appears taller because he’s skinny. 6’3 is probably about average for a ML starting pitcher.  Irvin is 6’4.  Burnes and Bradish 6’3, and Kremer 6’2. If he can avoid the walks he should be ok.
    • A link here would be helpful.
    • How much evidence does Mike Elias need that Jorge Mateo should not be playing against RHP?
