Nice sock. Good idea to switch to it from your regular ID so you don't get banned (again).

Oh man, did I just respond to someone hiding behind another user name? I hate getting sucked in by losers like that.

Thanks for the heads up, Chop.

Quit wasting your breath. You're arguing with a guy who was so emotional after an Astros loss, that he ran to TexAgs to claim a Rangers fan shoved his wife down some stairs

---

Down some stairs? Nope. Bumped and hurt her arm? Yep.

You guys sure like to twist and ignore facts, don't you?

---

Injured from a bump in the crowd? What hit her, a bulldozer with a Rangers bumper sticker?

Well unless you think it's normal to have 54 posts in 11 years, then yes, a sock.



But if you read some of the sock's posts from 2020 and here lately, it's also pretty obvious who it is.

Does HGH cause hearing loss?

Not sure. Did you ask Yordan?

Has your no-hit pitcher washed the cum off his glove yet?

---

So that's where you were last night.

WTF ?

He's actually one of the Rangers posters that I'd think most Astros fans liked. He is very moderate and even.

But as an Astros fan... you think the world is out to get you because you can't follow the rules.

Why would you antagonize someone like South Platte?! I'm usually the last to recognize an Oedipus... sorry for calling you out?!

I think those are players.

Why do you hate gay people?!

Even Elton John thinks that's pretty ****ing gay.

I thought about your post, and I think you are right. I don't like how personal it has become, and I contributed to that environment yesterday. I like a good zinger, but we should all respect boundaries.

Go Stros.

I think everyone is in a foul mood since our teams are sucking wind. We're both going to be pounding pud in October if we can't get guys healthy.

I think it's a changing of the guard year in the AL.

Orioles, Royals, Guardians and Mariners all look like potentially the teams poised to make runs if their young stars keep building

I think Baltimore has a legit chance to sustain a competitive team multiple years.

Cleveland's success will start to diminish, IMO. They are 27-17, but their SPs are averaging just above 5.0IP/GS. They are 27% of the way through the season. I think they are doing everything they can to win today and they are going to tire and fall off in the 2nd half of the year.

Here are their RPs:
Rk in G:
1. Sandlin: 2.57, 23G, 21 IP <- Projects to 85G
2. Barlow: 3.10, 22G, 20.1 IP
2. Clase : 0.42, 22G, 21.1 IP
5. Gaddis: 2.18, 21G, 20.2 IP <- Projects to 78G

8. Smith: 2.21, 20G, 20.1 IP
18. Herrin: 0.95, 19G, 19.0 IP

2023 Top G for RPs:
T11: 78, 75, 75, 73, 72, 72, 71, 71, 71, 70, 70

I could check, but I think in most years, mid-70s is the ceiling for RP Appearances. Once you get to 80... they are way overworked.

Cleveland is currently 3rd in RP IP:
1. Oak: 172.2, 3.49 ERA, 45G
2. Tam: 172.1, 4.49 ERA, 44G
3. Cle: 169.2, 2.44 ERA, 44G
6. Hou: 162.2, 4.26 ERA, 42G
10.Tex: 149.2, 5.05 ERA, 45G


There was once a strategy of 5 RPs... 2 7th inning guys (R & L), 2 8th inning guys (R & L), and a closer. Shorten the game to 6 Innings and turn it over to the BP. That largely went away with requiring 3 batters minimum. The LHRP was diminished.

Elements are still viable, but you need SP that can get you 6 and turn it over with a lead. Cleveland doesn't have those. You also can't exhaust the RPs before they even get to the playoffs.
