I like guys a year removed from the surgery

I even like a guy like Tyson Ross who has some really electric stuff

next season he will be 2 years removed from his surgery, thats a guy that can come real cheap with major upside IMO

Ross was a really good pitcher for a while, but he has more walks than strikeouts this year. That's pretty worrisome.

I just caught the replay of Sanchez throwing out Dozier. Did they not challenge that? He looked safe.

I don't know where to allocate the blame, how you enter a season with that pitching and expect to win
yeah, can't blame him for that roster construction. I think Fangraphs and BP projected them to be under .500 this year and they've been outscored by 63 runs. They lead the AL in home runs, but they're only 7th in runs scored because they're near the bottom in OBP. The rotation might actually be worse than it was expected to be.

The funny thing is that I actually never said that, you did and if I had known you'd be so technical about it I would have corrected you. You call it busting balls but it's more stupid and annoying than anything.

Upon further review, you were not the one who started and really carried the "they'd be impossible to beat" banner, it was a different poster. My apologies for that. However, you did jump into that discussion and said...

I didn't say that no team could beat them in the playoffs. I said the Dbacks and Rockies couldn't, and I reminded a poster who won the series between Washington and Los Angeles last year.

I can't speak for Dodgers fans but I'm not. It's the same thing every year, the Dbacks end up not even in the conversation. The NL is up to the Nats and Dodgers.

Also, I don't call what I've been doing to you busting balls.

Sale will follow suit this evening

Now I have to figure out whether its good that he is getting hit today instead of in 2 weeks?

or was pitching him against the Twins a bad idea entirely?

Sale would have to go out there and give up 5 runs in 3 innings to have the same ERA as Severino.

Horrible idea.

And karma strikes when you get cocky and go against your word on who was gonna start.

That's said, 90% chance Yanks still win this game

Im not sure if it was "cocky" as much as they are stuck between a rock and a hard place in regards to how hard to go after the division.............
