he has been incredible against very good hitting teams (namely braves) in playoffs. obviously he wasn't gonna keep the 1 era but it comical to say he not deserving or isn't all star quality. yours eyes deceiving you.

Guess I could say I prefer Nola but you know how that goes

They have FOUR pitchers on the AS team. That's a joke. Ranger is a nice 3rd pitcher, same as I feel locally about Kelly when he's not hurt.

Good news for the locals! Merrill Kelly is starting bullpen sessions this week and Eduardo Rodriguez passed his final MRI Saturday and will start throwing shortly. Expected back late July/early August. Suddenly we have a rotation!

That fucker for Toronto tried to make it interesting

I still have under 7.5 that now is holding its breath after his 5th inning

Nice I for some reason thought it was Crawford from Boston

What's weird to me with Ranger (I'm a big supporter of his, as he anchors my fantasy team right now, with Gaus and Framber shitting the bed) - is that he's not doing anything differently from last season, aside from gaining 2MPH on his sinker. Is it simply a difference in the ball MLB is using this year compared to last?

 

[TheDodgers]

I sometimes wonder if some pitchers also got better having settled into the pitch clock since it came into play last year. Just another contributing factor maybe?

I haven't thought about it as I try to simplify things but it's valid

This would be interesting to look into. Like a time to plate stat, to see pitcher tempo.

I watched the first couple innings of the Savannah Bananas game today on ESPN. Holy shit that was some of the most hilarious shit I've ever seen.

 

[KJ]

Gotta love another meaningless NYY/BOS game on Sunday night baseball if anyone actually watched. I saw the last pitch. On to something like a rerun of MacGuyver

 

[2daBank]

Maybe I'm harder on Philly than I should be because of that but in no way should they have 4 pitchers on the all star team, that's f'n hilarious

Wheeler belongs at least, I've warmed up to him

you have finally earned to one the best 2-3 pitchers in the game! well at least there that! i been telling you he a beast for years! you have kinda talked me down a little on nola but philly staff is absolutely one the best in the nl, not sure how it debatable?

 

[PirateAlew]

Today was fun as the breaks cut my way, lot of good overs cashed again today. Thankfully the clev over hit at the end but i had to sweat out the padres and mariners games overs til the end even made money betting against my yankees, always have to hold my nose betting on the red sox against the yanks but money is money. ha!

And discussing with a chick from July 4th where my fucking keys are

The Red Sox are now 14-1 on Sundays.

im was napping, ate weed gummy and zanny before i left hospital so woke back up pretty stoked, lol.

Lightweight Takes me 300-500 MG to feel it these days, i'm jealous of people who can eat one gummy, never messed with zanny but i magine that could intensify the thc in the gummy .....Hope the hospital was nothing too serious.

I spent 11.5 hours outside between 7:45pm on 7/4 and 7:15am on 7/5 because I misplaced my keys. Still in recovery. Was on 2.5 hours sleep so I'm sure that and the sun played in but that was the closest I've ever come to being a bum in my life. It was 108 when I finally passed out

oh im super lightweight. i'll cut 10 milli into 3rds! 5 milli gets me nice and high! lol. if i keep eating them my tolerance might get up to eating a whole 10 milli but that my limit! lol . i wish i had same minimal tolerance for opiates, i can do enough of them to kill a horse and barely know it! lmao.

oh the hospital is terrible my wife is in very bad shape but thanks for asking.

 

[KJ]

Phone was deader than dead too

Options weren't available even though they could have been. Fuck man, don't lose your keys. If you're a homeowner you can pay it and get the locksmith but in an apartment, you just pass out and hopefully find AC

I had a dude come up to me and ask if I needed an ambulance lol...just told him "no, I'm locked out" and he gave me bottled water. People tend to be good. But there were points in the night I crashed on that poolside chair and also points where I figured out I still had access to the gym so AC and pass out on the bench press lol

That one will be documented for the dumb shit I've done in life and there's a lot of that

 

[B.A.R.]

This is DK, plenty of time to shop around and find a boost somewhere. Haven't looked at first 5 but assume it's a reasonably juiced 2.5.

Good work.

I had 4.5 +105 when I posed this question. I should have been more specific.

Among a bazillion things I didn't even realize that hit lol

But thanks, was obviously not as strong as I thought

I'd say in the magnitude of scoring this year, that was pretty solid.

 

[2daBank]

skubal threw 18 change ups and got 14 swings and misses on sunday! he gets my vote for best pitcher in al, he prob best pitcher in game but wheeler has the postseason cred.
