I don't understand how you can walk a #8 hitter with a .205 batting average with the bases loaded.   

How many BB/9 did you average in the big leagues? If you are like everyone else here, none of us knows how hard it is to pitch up there, even to a guy batting .205.

He slops that mayo so we don't have to.

You can't win with only 2 reliable starters out of 5. Maybe with 3 out of 5. But not 2 out of 5.

Because if Kremer gives in, he's at risk of giving up a granny. He doesn't have the stuff to miss and still be okay. The key for him is not getting himself in that situation.

we have NO business losing to Carasco...

I’m gonna side with my guy @Malikehere tonight cause I’m sure it’s lonely being the Dean Kremer Fan Club Founder these days. 

I mean, side with whoever you want, I'm a big boy. I'm not going to root against my team for an "I told you so" but you do you.

I wonder if the Law Tigers are pro- or anti-motorcycle

I like Gunnar in the #2 slot. I think Tony should be #3, and then you could flip Holliday and Mayo to prevent it from veing 3 straight lefties.

[mrbig1]

Gunnar is so overdue.

I guess Holliday and Mayo won't be eligible to be called rookies next season to battle for the ROY award.

Is the rule game played or days on the roster?

He's certainly regressed this year. Probably not fully healthy. Seems like his FB isnt what it has been. 

I think his FB is ok. He just does not throw quality pitches on 2 strike counts.

For me it's more of a consolation prize.

I'd rather be wrong but at least I got something out of it.

It seems like the poorest pitchers give us the most trouble...and Carasco is really scuffling...

Carrasco is garbage.  We need to get to him.  

We can’t seem to get around on these high 80’s-low 90’s pitchers.

It goes by Major League service time. So days on the MLB roster.
