Gausman dogged would be nice, but doubt that happens

first look arrieta seems high and i again like BOS as Richards has been good lately after the poor start. Dolis didn't look great today in relief albeit a blowout, wonder if he goes b2b directly off an IL stint

 

[gsro]

note: fade turnbull and detroit next start..another nono

 

[gsro]

Eflin - 1.83

Ohtani won't be getting DH'd tomrorow right? I think his last start he was and then he moved to the outfield or something like that?

i thought once he was taken out of the game pitching he was done with everything for the night. Maybe he could have moved into the DH role, but i don't think you can add a DH you can only lose it

Yea it was the start in TB, I thought he moved to the OF, but he didn’t.

 

[gsro]

Want to back greinke tomorrow but something doesn’t feel right.

 

[Big daddy naught]

Gotta back mad max imo. I’ll bite on det again until sea shows me they can hit

bullpen blew it many times tonight

rare to read a matchup involving DET where they aren't considered the inferior hitting team

 

[gsro]

believe no Sanchez for yankees; which might be better for them currently.

 

[Bushleague]

Today’s card features 3 of the 5 pitchers who have thrown no-no’s in ‘21

Am I going crazy or is it 4? Giolito, Miley, Musgrove and Means?

 

[GWarner27]

4 is right, probably will see another day with 10 since nobody can get a hit anymore

 

[GWarner27]

Peterson isn't starting? Price seems insane if he is

 

[GWarner27]

yarbrough
richards
civale
montas
skubal

i also can't believe DET is on my list

 

[GWarner27]

Don't love Mejia hitting 3rd, but i've learned not to question TB. Yarbrough gets outs and so will whoever comes out of the bullpen behind him. Thompson has only worked b3b in the playoffs, not sure he will today. Spring threw 33 yday so not sure about him, Reed 3 of 4 may not go so that zaps a few LHP. Good thing BAL is pretty much all R, though I've been wondering about the Fairbanks and Castillo usage coming off the IL as they have not appeared in the high leverage situations expected. Still, in TB and Cash i trust

Means has been great, but he can't get outs for the bullpen. Lakins had been in some high-pressure situations lately, but after 36 pitches yesterday can't see it tonight. Armstrong closed a bit in 2019 and he also threw 36 yesterday, bet they stay away from him too. Fry and Scott still from the LHP side, then the changeup closer Valdez to close it out late. He blew the one opportunity i've had with him, not sure he can live on 83 mph only.

Means does have the benefit of not getting pinch-hit for tonight, though even great numbers vs TB would make it hard for me to stay away from the far better team dogged

 

[GWarner27]

Stripling's last start looked good, but @ ATL doesn't carry the same weight when you consider how poor they've been besides Acuna this season. Only 5ip means the Jays bullpen will be called upon to cover many outs, and that's if Stripling delivers a lead. Richards season turned around after a poor performance vs these Jays, 4.2IP only 2 k since then four good outings though only OAK could be considered a good offense.

Went on and on about the bullpen advantage to BOS yesterday, expect everyone to be available but not sure Dolis is ready for high-leverage yet. Chatwood to Romano looks like 8-9, still not a huge fan.

Waiting on lineups, but again 45%-ish to win this one based on the line and this feels like a coinflip. Trust BOS to hold a lead if tight late, or even win a battle in extras thanks to the bullpen depth

 

[GWarner27]

dammit Peterson is the bulk guy

 

[gsro]

That ball is flying in Florida. Would gander at a live over play

 

[gsro]

^ Toronto

 

[gsro]

Yang throwing for Texas tonight. He’s the lefty from the Kia tigers of the KBO

 

[GWarner27]

That ball is flying in Florida. Would gander at a live over play

Stripling won't be in for that much longer though

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Kluber no-hitter

 

[Smokeshow99]

A battle of the bad but young & talented pitchers in seattle.

 

[twinkie13]

No hitter lol

Happy for him but weren’t we laughing about this earlier....lotta of em now

 

[Smokeshow99]

I'm not sure who was worse Gilbert or the DET hitters? Schoop might be blind. Gilbert is not ready for the majors.
