6-0 Rays early!!

ned should take out anyone of relevance when the run differential between our lead and their deficit is greater than 15

Lol blue Jays....who was it saying we were out of HFA last week?

this is so great. when you start a guy for the sole purpose of letting him get 200 innings for the year, how bad do things have to get before you take him out at 199?

every single person on this board, all baseball analysts, anyone who follows baseball.

welp, they took him out. sorry buerle, we love you enough to let you pitch inning 199 and put us in huge hole, but not enough to let you get 200 when we probably don't really even have a chance at winning anymore.

No Willie...

Lol another HR

sys · « **Reply #49459 on:** October 04, 2015, 02:47:50 PM »

serves them right to give up another hr after taking buerle out. what a dick move.

sys · « **Reply #49460 on:** October 04, 2015, 02:49:25 PM »

btw, seeing buerle get destroyed on short rest kinda makes me sad about bumgarner all over again.

What was the 200 IP thing? Contract bonus?

sys · « **Reply #49462 on:** October 04, 2015, 02:52:18 PM »

the angels starter seems to really suck too. i think he's pitching on short rest as well.

he has a string of 14 or 15 seasons with 200 ip. he's retiring after this season. seemed like kind of a stupid thing to care about, but if you care enough to start him, then you might as well let him get to it when you're already down 7-0 and the one seed doesn't really mean much anyways.

is baseball fixed and the announcers get word of the homeruns prior to the game?

sys · « **Reply #49465 on:** October 04, 2015, 02:58:12 PM »

nice hit, perez.

He's throwing like slow pitch softball speed

wetwillie · « **Reply #49470 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:04:44 PM »

i thought his velocity was always low 90's

sys · « **Reply #49471 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:09:01 PM »

cueto is not particularly graceful man.

he was throwing 88/89 the first two innings. hitting 90/91 this inning though.

sys · « **Reply #49473 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:13:07 PM »

it's interesting that his ineffective period seems to partially coincide with having less variation in velocity.

wetwillie · « **Reply #49474 on:** October 04, 2015, 03:15:08 PM »

his pitch efficiency is pretty bad, 55 pitches through 2. If we get another point here we should take him out after 3 and let some of our less certain relievers get some more live innings.
