Lets just end this damn game with one swing of the bat.

What's the chance Clete wins it on a walk off?


NM, gameday was fucked up.

 

[coulomb]

Welp, At least the pressures off valverde for the rest of the season...

 

[motown1958]

200 to 1?

 

[Monster]

That won't be his last blown save. He was just really lucky last year.

 

[motown1958]

There you go jhonny. Get on base.

 

[Monster]

JP is on fire to start the year! wow!

 

[turok]

Jhonny 1.000!

 

[Monster]

Thanks, Jose! Now, since you have been my only pitcher so far this year, my team ERA is 18.00

 

[Monster]

and whip is 3.00

im stuck at work and i got to the break room i time to see valverde blow it. fuck. why not let verlander go for the cgso?

 

[Monster]

Even worse, he blew the win for K-Lander.

 

[turok]

WTG Avila!!

 

[motown1958]

Hell yes. Way to go. These guys have been the best part of the lineup all game.

nah, he made the right call. A closer that has 49 straight saves and has a 2-0 lead? right call.

Avila is so good at hitting to opposite field.

Wouldn't surprise me if he hits around .290 again.

 

[motown1958]

He definitely made the right call. First game of the season and he was at 105 pitches you dont want to push it to hard early in the season.

Oh ok, thanks for the update.

From a guy who thinks Delmon Young hits 30 HR's this year.

Before he wore down last season he was hitting over .300. If laird can spare him behind the plate and he can DH a little more this year theres no telling how good his BA could be.
