TEX is better off with LAA not the WC. LAA gets the WC means TEX faces DET w/out HFA in the ALDS. Only way TEX would face LAA if they both get past their ALDS opponent.

Long shot for LAA to get the WC ... and TBR has first dibs.

someone corrected me earlier

I wanna see Martin get some at-bats, take Endy out.

Why waste the ABs? He's not post season eligible.

 

[Stinky Britches]

What did everyone say a while back when we had the number one farm system?

2010 or 2011 WS contender?

he probably will but he'll finish no higher than 5th or 6th because Verlander. Granderson, Cano, and probably at least 2 Boston players will hog most of the votes. Most, if not all, of the East Coast voters will go NY or Boston

 

[TrinDaddy]

D.Ho could have an ERA of 6 and still win most of his games. He has over 8.5 in run support average. Incredible.

I'm taking back the eprops I couldn't give you before when you made the call on Beltre for the idea that TEX ought to "let LAA win" so they could get to the WC.

even after i retracted?

i was just making conversation because this board isn't that active tonight

and i forgot about the wild card not going to play within the same division the first round

my bad honest mistake! lol

damn a gofer ball by Holland.

damn a gofer ball by Holland.

at least a solo

i think the folks at Sonic researched the least likeliest inning for grand slams and chose the sixth inning to give away 25K

 

[Swami]

3 walks and a high pitch count through 5 for Holland, but he's been good enough to keep Oakland quiet.

 

[jta4437]

No shut out for Holland, oh well

 

[guitarmy21b]

Dutch potentially making his record 15-5 tonight is pretty damn cool

And has his ERA down under 4, assuming nothing bad happens in the next inning or two.

16.6 per inning isn't bad at all actually, its the ratio thats troubling, but luckily aside from the HR they haven't done anything with the wildness

 

[jta4437]

191 innings as well

Not so much for that ... was for the idea of laying down for LAA. The board executive committee will have to review it and render it's decision. :-D
