I'm giving Angel a break on this one. Half of the checked swings don't get called when they should. It's a hard call.

Harper is overreacting because he can get away with it.

You know how the bullpen works. Not even Dusty uses guys 3 days in a row. The Padres are asking him to do 3 days in a row over multiple innings in a meaningless game. Sounds like the manager blew it like he blew the entire season.

Let's not forget that MIL unloaded Hader at the trade deadline last year. They cut ties with their closer in a playoff race. Something tells me there is something off with him. And I suspect that whole SD clubhouse is a flaming mess.

Possibly but it probably has more to do with selling high before he needed to get paid. They'll probably do the same thing with their Burns & Woodruff. Just like the Guards selling SP in a postseason run. It's how these low budget teams stay decent.

How many years will he get?
How many should he get?
How many would you want the Astros to give? We still have Pressly for 2 more?

It was the game on the 25th. He pitched the 20th and 23rd. Was off the 21st, 22nd and 24th. Where do you get multiple innings three days in a row?


I was thinking it was more recent. My bad.

Neris has a $12 million player option which he will decline. We should do what it takes to keep him.

What about Montero's contract?

Neris has a proven record of being great

Julio needs to STFU. If he can't take getting jawed at after he Ks for 8th time in 3 games then he I don't ever wanna see him pimp a HR.

He better be doing his best Biggio impression every time he jacks one out.

He deserves to play for a cckskr like Servais in that wasteland for the rest of his career.

So it's my opinion appealing needs to be done away with all together.

Let the HP ump make the call and if he can't then it's not a swing.

The ambiguity of when it's appealed when it's not what it what isn't is frustrating as hell. Just take all of it out and let the HP ump make the call.

Sure, but that was my guess what it's going to take to keep him.

I'm pulling for the Jays. I want the 2 or 6 seed. Do not want to pass them but not the Rangers and wind up playing in Tampa.

And **** the Yankees

I'm at the point where all this other game watching is window dressing, we just need to win and get in and then anything can happen. If our bully continues to pitch like they have been and our bats just wake up a little we're the most dangerous team in the playoffs.

I did catch Harper calling him "the worst ump in the league." I love that Angel gets to hear that all the time from various sources and yet he still files lawsuits like the tone deaf moron he is. Kinda reminds me of a certain manager.

But can our starters stay long enough to not gas the pen? Like you said, anything can happen. Just don't know man.

More certainty with Arlington winning tonight and tomorrow and getting it done v Arizona tomorrow.

Worst case other than missing playoffs is having to play until Sunday with all starters and JV and Javier starting just to make wildcard.

Jays winning this game takes away one scenario where we get in losing 2 of 3 this weekend paired with M's winning 3+.

Watching the arlington's broadcast. My goodness these announcers are brutal. Constant droning on about next to nothing. No personality, just a sea of words to fill the air. Like listening to your uncle talk about his haircut for 3 hours. We are so lucky to have TK, Blummer and Julia.

Put me in the camp that's ok with the Mariners losing the next two. I want to wake up Saturday morning after a Friday night win and having clenched a playoff spot. I can't help but feel pessimistic about this regular season and want to be done with it asap

Yes I watched it. I stand by what I said. It's a really hard call and just as many are missed as are right. Angel missed it. It's not that bad a miss in the scheme of things.
