@mattharris Can’t disagree with that. Great problem to have. Also gives us a little more flexibility coming down the stretch to get the rotation set up for a possible wild card berth.
@NewbergReport Love this debate. Cliff Lee absolutely shoved in ALDS/CS that year and will always be a top tier memory. Cliff only 20 games as a Ranger vs Evo’s near 80 and counting though. Still lot of history to be written for Evo. Thrilled we had/have a front row seat to both!
@tylerjohnson_59 Finally made it to a drop before they sold out. Have a 2.5 yr old daughter, aptly named Charlie, that will love it! Congrats on your early success
@SeanCBass If Garcia is done, don’t you think Duran gets activated and he could be the utility guy you’re looking for to replace Garcia in the field and is a much more serviceable bat than Jank. Jank’s bat has been a black hole since the All Star Break.
@JaredSandler The obvious ones come from last weeks ALCS but another notable: Nelson Cruz walk off Grand Slam in Bottom of 11th of G2 of 2011 ALCS v DET to take a 2-0 series lead
@NewbergReport Since July 1st, Abreu had 42.1 IP over 43 games (regular season and postseason) and he only gave up a total of 7 ER in that stretch (1.50 ERA). 6 of those ER came at the hands of our AL Pennant Champs!
@lonestarball@BricePaterik Understood. I can admit that I don't pay as close attention to other team's 3B and I might have some slight bias, but Jung having a DRS of 0 doesn't match up to the eye test for me.
@lonestarball@BricePaterik Pardon my ignorance on Fangraphs/Fielding Bible advanced fielding metrics, but how can Jung have the highest UZR/150 amongst all AL infielders (not just 3B) yet have a DRS of 0?
@DustinLMcComas And to think, had Adolis Garcia never got hurt in the early Sept TEX v HOU series, it’s likely EC never would’ve gotten the call up this year.
@NewbergReport 3 starts left if he takes Scherzer’s spot the rest of the way. In his last 3 starts he went 14.1 IP. Does the IP escalation clause only apply to regular season innings?
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney paid $2.5 million for the world's third-oldest football club.
But the team is in the 5th division of the English football pyramid and has almost no chance of making it to the Premier League.
Still, it was a genius move.
Here's why 👇
