phillies manager said every game is game 7 now after their last loss. So odds are they lose one of their game 7's here, lol.

Sounds like in that fight he lost he attacked his teammate too, check out the details and Crick is right in what he says at the end: "Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez initiated the fight he and teammate Kyle Crick engaged in Monday, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The...

Wow and he was just in the news for fighting with his teammate too, apparently he got his ass kicked in that fight. Now I am glad he got his ass kicked, if he is a pedophile he deserves a lot worse.

Braves could potentially clinch with the Nats losing their afternoon game Wed. Hopefully that isn't the case, would rather clinch with a win ourselves.

Serious about answering nsacpi's request for those stats? lol

Yea, .067 avg. for Molina vs Teheran.

Rizzo's injury could hurt the Cubs too, depending on how bad it is.

Cubs may overtake the Cardinals if they keep blowing 9th inning leads like they did today.

Folty also holds Goldy to an OPS under .500, though Goldy is 2-6 against him this year. Ozuna hits Folty but not as hard as Teheran, .790 OPS. It is mostly solo homers as Ozuna only hits .200 for average against him. Folty's issue vs the Cardinals is more Molina and Wong along with the homerun ball.

Teheran holds the former to a OPS under .500 and Ozuna is the hitter in the Cardinals line-up that hits Teheran hard. However, Teheran K'd held him to 0-3 with 2 K's and two walks this year.

The match-ups are what it comes down to either way. Though a lot of success against a team vs the opposite can effect how confident a pitcher is against a team.

Soroka starts for me unless we see signs of fatigue effecting him.

me too, but against the Dodgers i favor Folty.

Who would you start game one vs the Cardinals? Soroka is better on the road but I'd have to start him.

i defeated my point by pointing out that turnover can help? nah, i never said turnover cannot change a situation, obviously if Colorado added a number of players that hit Teheran hard i'd consider that but so far their top hitters are those he has little trouble with. I also don't think...

i guess Fried was due a game like this with no run support as often as he gets a lot of run support.

I would disagree against Colorado as the turnover hasn't been that much as far as those in their line-up he's did his best. Plus turnover can help sometimes by removing that one player that hits you hard. Teheran's success against the Nats this year was helped by removing Harper as nsacpi noted.

You didn't answer the question, is Teheran just lucky vs Colorado or are they a team he's strong against? And no I am not just going by his ERA against them, lol.

Teheran's career ERA vs the Cardinals is basically the same as against Colorado. Do you see Teheran as just lucky vs Colorado? I didn't say Folty wasn't good last year. If Folty finishes strong he probably starts over Teheran against the Dodgers if we meet them in the NLCS.

I already told you. Simply put, if you have a pitcher having a strong year unlike Folty despite his good second half and end up facing a team he's been strong against why Folty has been at his worst most starts. Then it's an easy choice and that is why Ken Rosenthal is hearing that Teheran would...
