    He actually has been very good this year - should be their closer, not sure why they need to think too hard about that.

    Hammered the Phils money line yesterday. I've actually done pretty well betting on this team this year. Just gotta pick and choose the right spots.

    Of course it's yet another IPA. Craft beer has become so inane. "Just hop it up baby!" At least the picture is fun.

    I like how Girardi rolls out his new closer the first two times in non save situations.

    I know many people disagree but I think you hold your Closers for save situations unless they have not pitched in a crazy long time.

    Use pitchers when they are most needed strategically, and don't let silly statistics like "saves" determine your strategy.

    (FYI I didn't want to use "inane" in 2 straight posts)

    I guess, if that is your strategy.  Certainly many ways to go about it.  I would not use the guy designated as the closer in a game that is out of reach.  I dont worry as much about the statistic, more the scenario so the dude knows to picture whatever in his head he needs to picture for the time before he comes out of the pen feeling like he is a world beater.

    Going back to Ball Four (loved that book!) I think of how they talked about the guys thriving on knowing their role.  I buy into this.

    Yeah agree with Johnny on this one. To me there's no difference between a 4 run lead or a 3 run lead

    I loved that play at the end of the top of the 9th last night where, on what should've been a pretty straight-forward tag-and-throw-to-first double play, Bohm began running back towards first leading to a throw to first to remove the force at second, and allowing the Realmuto run to count.

    Lol....I'm just trying to decipher when it's safe to jump back all in with this ragtag group. Nats today, Mets this weekend and then the Dodgers followed up by one of the easiest remaining schedules. 

    I think this mediocre division will come down to the last day of the season.

    Thank god it's a mediocre division. I'll take it. It's been 10 fucking years now.

    Yeah even if we fuck this up, if we can make this a race all the way to the bitter end I'll be happy. I mean I'd much prefer them not to be the absolute prime example of mediocre. But I am fiending for some playoff baseball, even if it's only one game with a buncha dumb fucking anti vaxers that makes me truly loathe the makeup of this team.

    Mets losing. Headed for the shore Saturday. I think I need to get this game in tomorrow night. Could leap frog these knuckle draggers with our equally dumb knuckle draggers tomorrow night, and get obnoxiously drunk & loud, and annoy the pitchers in the bullpen, and act like this means something.
