And yet, Petchesky wrote nothing today, most likely against management directive.

Absolutely. Do you think Taubman is pulling for the team that just fired him?

And that’s a trememndously dumb way to look at it. If their top relievers are throwing multiple innings in 4 out of 5 nights, they likely won’t be able to keep that up for a full 7 game series. Nobody gives a fuck about last week — is Scherzer going to be available every game, or is he going to rest?

lol nope, he specifically mentioned a 7-game slugfest. Mentioning the 5-or 6-guys who have been used earlier only serves to show who will be used within these 7 games, not that the earlier usage would affect their fatigue.

This is a dumb take. A week of rest hardly matters if you pitch 5 out of the next 6 nights.

lol, I didn’t rationalize his criticism of Acuna, and I certainly never said he had a good outing.

Yes, a double play is why I didn’t call them equal. Thanks.

...so he threw strikes when he had a big lead knowing a home run and a walk are virtually equal detriments to his team, and he never allowed the tying run to reach base. Sounds like a reason to celebrate. 

No comments on how replay review is destroying sports? What destroys the game is when supremely athletic plays like this are denied by officials who are literally guessing what the correct call is at full speed.

But they stop the netting at the foul pole. So it’s okay to get maimed by fair balls, I guess.
