Guessing everyone is going to feel pressured to take one game off. I know Cubs haven’t yet so wouldn’t be surprised if they did

I made the mistake of switching on espn for a minute today and of course those cucks were talking bout social justice, some idiots saying how if nba packed it up there be so much pressure on nfl not to play. Nfl don’t bow down to the garbage media pressure and pathetic outrage!

I think the dumbest thing I saw today was the mets/marlins. Like what in the actual fuck was that? Then the fiasco between GM/Owner/Commissioner lol
Still not seeing odds :/

it’s gotta be impossible to set lines w so many DH and not being sure who playing when let alone pitching

Yeah - saw books saying yesterday they weren’t doing overnight lines due to the possibility of cancellations and all that

Though, as usual, I see different guys for the DHs

very few DH today so we got the lines for just about everybody now. MIN/DET looks like they may only get one in today, but here are my leans:
erlin
duffy
freeland
bassitt

been reading scouting reports on the indians kid, when i looked at his 1st start striking out 10 in 5 innings naturally started thinking how easily he could dispense of cards pathetic lineup! not so sure tho, ive read when he gets into trouble or behind in the count he tends to lean on his fastball which appears to be a solid pitch that has gained velo, the obvious problem being if he doesnt trust his off speed offerings and cards can get him into fastball counts they can actually hit fastballs, more so than the pathetic swings they take at off speed anyways!! started looking cause was hoping for a sneaky dfs pitcher but now im looking at it from potentially taking cards as dogs. i feel like they have a better chance getting to a young kid who relies on his fastball much more so than some broken down vet throwing junk in hitters counts they cant hit!! still have to try and figure out what i expect from ponce against tribe lineup who has their own problems scoring runs at times, i do think famil reyes gonna be a tough out for de leone,

Franmil looks lost, but pdl has never been consistent
[/QUOTE]
really? i haven't watched much but his ops the last 2 weeks is .933! it has been down the last 6 or so games at only .711 and a ops+ of 74 which basically puts him right around or sadly above all the cards not named goldsmidt! lol. oddly enough he been way down vs lefty pitching this season which a huge change from rest his career, obviously 29 or so at bats doesnt mean a whole lot, still odd to see considering he sports a huge on base vs them overall,
god dammit,, i had a whole paragraph written on what im seeing with ponce and somehow i lost it trying to learn this new chromebook thing, mother fucker!!! hit 100 buttons thinking i should be able to restore it but nope!!!! anyuways it all was talking boiut how i expected to start seeing better starts out if him, guess just have to take my word on the why cause i dont feel like doing it over, lol.

i remember back when he had so much potential, lol. the idea of backing him in that bandbox sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen day or night.

cards +120 for me. as i said above the kid tribe starting looks like a good prospect but his reliance on the fastball when in trouble should allow cards to actually make contact when they have risp!! that will be a pleasant change if it comes to fruition. Ponce has finally developed a off speed pitch with a solid curve he has shown trust in to get ahead in count or when he needs a swing and miss, the results havnt really shown up as of yet but his swinging strikes are up to go along with some other nice indicators (which i lost when i typed them out the 1st time) that lead me to believe his best showings are ahead of him. i like him to finally go 5+ and have a quality start vs a tribe lineup that struggles to score at times. Of course cards just got shit on by pirates pitching for 15 innings so would it shock me if tribe won the game scoring 2-4 runs? not really but i do think the likelihood cards see more fastballs here than they accustomed to should help their cause !

oh shit, didnt realize it had already started, wasnt trying to throw salt. 2 runs not the end of the world in that park.

i love gallen too but that a huge price for a team not hitting shit.
i am interested in the reds, hendricks has not had a lot of success at that park.
lean ff under at coors. davies has shown to handle that park pretty well.

Fading Anderson coming off a CGSO (also against AZ) and hoping the almost comeback by AZ the other night has got their bats going.

A lil bit of a headscratcher. Teams are close in WRC+ (SD hitting L, ARI hit R). I'm guessing Freeland, a groundballer in Coors, is the reason for the fav. I've done that shit this year already and got burned everytime, betting the Rockies at home against an either new/not great at Coors pitcher.

Voice of Reason
Davies has had pretty good success at coors in his 2 starts, 10 innings 6 hits total and only 3 extra base hits..He has actually held current rox players to a ops well under .600, only 3 doubles and 3 bombs in 106 plate appearances. i played the ff under 6.

didn't exactly work the day before that when they made a comeback and lost by a single-run with the bases full.
No idea how you can lay 1/2, but i wish you luck

wasn’t snakes almost comeback done against some pen scrubs since Rox had a big lead? They couldn’t do anything against Grey who everyone been teeing off on! I just dunno about that team anymore, they nothing close to the team I thought we were gonna see!! I do know there no chance they should be expected to win a game 66% of the freaking time!! Just think, as good as Gallen been and he doesn’t have 1 freaking decision in his 6 starts!!

I think it the right play. Of course cards offense sucks and he hasn’t been good. I do think there some pretty good signs that point to him having some better outings Coming his Way. I’m def more concerned about the offense but if they wanna continue saying they a fastball hitting team as their excuse for looking stupid against off speed/anything that has break then this the kid to hit. Assuming scouting reports I read are accurate they should see fastballs in fastball counts and when they have risp. Kid was shaking catcher off a lot in his 1st start in order to get to the fastball sign, if he does that again our offense might actually look serviceable tonight!
Yea it‘s a boring city unlike St. Louis. Fuck you, Kris Bryant!
