[Official] Giants @ Astros

And you want guys to always trust them? It doesn't work either way.

 

Weak. That is more than double McHugh's ERA.

 

Provided following batter isn't someone like Marisnick or the team is playing for 1 run in the 9th inning or later, yes. It worked a lot last year. It will work again this year.

 

The 32-18 record did not get them concerned?

 

Better hope so since the next 11 games are vs The Indians, Yankees and Red Sox.

 

The media seems to be fawning over the Red Sox and Yankees while the 'Stros just roll along. Fine with me.

 

You should all go to hell.

Every one of you.

 

Texass beat The Empire... AGAIN.

Sox -- 34-15
Yanks -- 31-15
Stros -- 32-18

 

I’d be perfectly ok if the standings ended like this. Red Sox would face the WC team (likely Yankees or Angels) while the Astros would get to rough up the Indians and send Trevor Bauer into another Twitter meltdown.

 

For such a talented hitter, his approach at the plate isn’t what you would expect.

 

You know this, I know this, we all know this.

 

I hear you... I'd rather win 110 games, be the #1 seed, then beat everyone's ass regardless who they are.

Remember, most posters seemed extra-hyped about beating the Glory Franchises (Sox, Yanks, Dodgers) en route to the championship.

Ball hard in regular season, then regulate in the playoffs. The #1 likely doesn't face their First Round's opponent's #1 starter too.

 

Mariners 29-19

 

Yeah, but what does Pythagoras have to say? Have they *really* won 29 games?

 

I’m more concerned with their 19 losses.

 

Well, now you're confusing me. How many games are they back in the actual loss column vs how many games back in the theoretical loss column?

 

I think you’re supposed to subtract home losses from road wins, divide by games played outside the division, subtract out games against sub .500 teams and add Springer’s batting average as a leadoff hitter.

 

What? No Giles comments today?

 

Ken Giles has the 2nd worst K/9 among closers.

Happy?
