Christian Yelich's list of the 5 toughest pitchers in the NL East. Two are predictable, one is going to surprise you. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/christian-yelich-5-toughest-pitchers-in-the-nl-east/
That's selective memory on Maddon's bullpen decision-making. He overused Aroldis Chapman in the whole series and nearly got burned for it. He put Chapman into Game 6 with a seven run lead and taxed him, leaving him tired for Game 7 and he gave up the tying homer to Rajai freakin' Davis. Dusty may not be Joe Maddon but he is certainly not Matt Williams either.
lol, Yelich is so funny.Yea, I totally forgot who won the World Series. Maddon used what he had and it got him the win. Especially considering that he probably had the lesser of the two bullpens in the World Series.
I'm not ready to give up on Treinen. I think he needs a phantom injury and a couple appearances in the minor. His collapse seems mental. If he gets back to who he was he is a super valuable setup man or an emergency pitcher when bases are juiced in a tight game.
I love what Yelich said about Scherzer. It's so true I think.
The guy's definitely got a career in journalism ahead of him after baseball, if he wants it. Impressive writing. (Unless there was a ghostwriter.)
Yelich is really well-spoken, so it would not surprise me if he got nothing beyond standard editorial polishing on that.
No, all they did was show that post season success does not correlate with regular season success. We knew this already. Or at least some of us knew that. It's been quite obvious the last twenty years or so. Playoff baseball is so much more different than regular season baseball. You only need to two good starting pitchers to get through. You need a hot lineup. You need a quality pen. You have to have a closer.
Syndergaard on 10 day DL with a partial tear of right lat muscle.
Did they have to sedate him to get him into the MRI machine?
Injury plagued team with major issues comes into DC, ready to be really put behind the 8 ball. What happens? Nats let them get 2 wins, with chance at a sweep. Remember this series if you find yourself in September panic.
He's going to be out for months.
10 days seems like a quick turnaround for a torn lat. Isn't that what Rendon had after he made a diving stop a few years ago after spring training? Seems to me it can drag on for a while. Don't see him back in 10 days.
I listened to the Mets broadcast in the car for a bit yesterday, the announcers were really tearing into Thor for pitching yesterday. They were acting like he hid an injury.
I just don't know who's the bigger idiot, the Mets or Thor.
