    If Giles blows this one, Fredi can feel especially vindicated.

    A sneaky underrated issue with Kimbrel is while when he has his command, he's very dominant, he doesn't keep his command when he throws a lot of pitches. He's not a guy you can confidently throw out there for a 6 out save, unlike a Chapman.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    This is true but i dont blame them for keeping him in. Season on the line.

    But his stuff isnt as crisp when he goes longer in the game.

    Fredi knew this. He knows his players better than anyone.

    Dusty Baker will leave his starters in for 130 pitches in the regular season and then pulls Scherzer after 98 pitches when he's given up only one hit. I'd be furious if I was a Nats fan.

    Small but significant chance the Braves win a playoff series before the Nats do.

    It should be over right now. The Indians really lucky the Yankees didn’t challenge that foul tip game 2
    Swanson sucks

    Which is bull****. Indians and Astros has to be the matchup. Two young powerhouses for the title. Way more exciting than the Yankees or Red Sox.

    Not for business. Indians/stros would do horrible ratings.

    Bet they wouldn't.

    And I don't care about business. I'm a baseball fan.

    The DBacks never deserve to win a championship as long as they wear those uniforms.

    I'm fine with either the Yankees or Indians. My reflexive disdain for the Yankees subsided with the passing of George Steinbrenner. I've always thought Cashman was a decent GM (who of course has a ton of money to play with). He and Girardi have kind of changed the mindset out there. They aren't the bloated mess they characteristically were when George was meddling.
