Lost in the amazing finish- Trevor Bauer pitched like a fucking all-star last night. If we could get him to play is A game consistently heading into October, that would be huge.
Bullpen has been fantastic lately. Shaw, Otero, Allen, Miller, and McCallister are all looking good and have really been huge in bailing out our hitting and starting pitching. Probably going to have to roll with Kluber, Carrasco, Salazar, and Bauer for the post-season starting rotation. Put Tomlin in the Bullpen- dude just lost it since the All Star Break.
Also, we got our thread icon back :) Mix Taques Appreciate the C logo, but any chance we can get the Chief Wahoo?
Agree with putting Tomlin in the BP. Ran out of gas. Have MC take his spot. Hopefully Coco can bring some magic. It's bullshit that Almonte can't play in the postseason. Had no idea that was a rule. Hoping no AL team ends up with Puig if he is dealt. Unless it's us obviously.
Nice little 3rd inning. Tonight seems like one of those games where they're going to have to keep scoring. Bonus commentary: Cal Ripken is a chode
Porcello not even getting 5 full innings and giving up 4 runs.... Yeah can't ask for much better than that
I don't think this game could have gone any better strategically going forward. Corey went deep into the game but still only threw about a hundred pitches. Otero and Shaw didn't have to work at all. Have a feeling we'll need the pen in game 3
Should we beat Boston, we would have home field advantage in the ALCS. Love the extra day off today to get our staff some additional rest.
Coco makes a better relay throw and he's out at home. That was a great job getting out of the inning with only one run worth of damage by Tomlin.
