This is an abomination of English, and you should be ashamed. However, I smiled, so don't take this personally.

Still a really terrible construction. :D

Exactly!  That's why it's funny.  It's hard to say too

When you have a pitcher on the ropes better to extend the inning. Some pitchers have a bad first inning and then settle down. I'm not sure what made Westburg think to go for a triple it didn't seem like he was sprinting all the way around the bases.

Yeah, and this pitcher is a good one.

Burnes' stuff today has been kind of weird.  His cutter hasn't been sharp but his breaking stuff has been fantastic.  He needs to figure out where his cutter is going though, because he relies on his cutter too much.

Melanie said Cowser “smashes it”  and then described that 3 Rangers converged on the ball. That seemed odd to me, so I checked the statcast.  He smashed it 75mph. 

She is so bad. Can Wagner just call the entire series?

Was that a good play by Kjerstad or is the radio crew exaggerating?

It didn't look pretty, but it was a routine play. He was sort of lucky, the ball hit the heel of his glove and he held it.

    • Everything revolves around the health of the player. I think Gunnar has more. I think the collision with Mateo set Gunnar back and affected him in ways we will never know. I'm no mind specialist but Gunnar is young plays all out, and that had to bother him. I've watched that collision a number of times. No fault - just two players going all out and one is finished for the year. It just so happened that Gunnar got the yips and his batting went south soon thereafter. Maybe a coincidence but I think we will see a rejuvenated Gunnar next year and all stops are off. 
    • I’m not so sure the bolded part is true. I think a lot of that last bit can have to do with small skills: situational hitting/running, above average play in close games, generally things that can be boiled down to “luck.” I didn’t see this years team as having a major talent discrepancy from the 2023 version.
    • As great as Gunnar is can’t assume he matches last year. That said I like the odds of the team as a whole matching what we did. 
    • The real improvement of this team will come from within.    The 3-5 players they bring in from outside the org will supplement the roster…maybe put it over the top but the real improvement will come from those already in the org.
    • Yeah. -Would love to keep Burnes but I seriously doubt it. -I have a lot of faith in Adley.  - Holliday has huge ceiling even if he isn’t ready to be elite.  - doesn’t always work this way but the better your closer is tends to help rest of pen 
    • Nice OP. Thanks for the effort. Like the chart. Surprised it hasn't received much response. You sum up a lot of what I hope for as well. I'd add: I think a full - healty year of Westy will be even more valuable. I think Gunnar has even more in the tank. I want - hope that Holliday can develop into the lead off hitter and OBP table setter we need. And, I so want Cowser to cut down on strike outs and continue to develop as a professional hitter. I think he has the potential to cover for the loss of Santander while Big K develops on the right side. A lot to hope for but I believe these youngsters have a lot of potential yet to tap. And oh yes - I want Mayo to make Roy and all of us proud! Thanks again for the effort! I look at pitching as if we have a base. I agree with your points 1 and 2.
    • Postgame Pedro Martinez and Dusty Baker critiquing Clase tripling up on his weaker pitch before the Carpenter heroics. 78% cutters on the season for Clase - the key PA went cutter-cutter-cutter-slider-slider-slider.
