That is how you win baseball games - you can have all the talent in the world but in the end good 3-1 2-0 counts are how you win baseball games.

It’d be all on McCann. Sounds better than what happened - just don’t see why you don’t take every time every opportunity to press in a game like this Edited October 1, 2020 by hi8is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not half as upset as I normally would be. You had to know this was coming. We're a horrible baseball team right now. For a variety of reasons. We're not even a top 8 team in the AL. Not at this moment. Not a playoff team. The Cleveland and Cubs series took any enthusiasm I really had about this team. After that Minnesota series, I was thinking we'd have a real shot at making the ALCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, we may be the Twins and Indians. Our division didn't pitch well and left a ton of offense out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusguyman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 All the last month RR wouldn't play McCann and Grandal together because he had no third catcher and didn't want the DH. Now he has Collins back and he just gives up the DH anyway??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeLessRob Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I despised watching Jimmy Cordero since he pitched over 200 innings in a 60 game season, but damn he shut us the fuck up this post season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
