Randall didn't panic, he had a 15 game injury and not much choice.

Yeah had to come up with something with Arozarena out for 15 at this point in the season.

Ah! Didn't realize that. Could have just picked up Cruz without letting deGrom go. That had to hurt.

Well, didn't hurt as much as his $7.38m salary and 6-11 record. Figured Wainright could suck equally. ;)

Just wondering --- my team has hit into 155 dp. Seems about 45-50 more than anyone else. What's anyone's "non ATG" dp record? I think this is a high for me.

Ouch. Game one tonight, scored two in the top of the 9th and then Stones rolls four straight on his card to score two of his own for a walk off. :( The one that hurt was Perez getting a walk off of Hahn (about .100 OB not counting the X chart) Not complaining mind you, it happens and I'm sure I've done the same to teams. Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. At least we managed to take game three in his park to keep him at arms length, 7 back. It's not over by any means with 9 games between the two teams remaining. The good news for us is that six of the games are in our park.

Not sure, but I did a quick calc, you have 160 GBA chances v RHP, the next closest is 122 (Jeep). The average for the other teams is 87 so you're close to double the average of the rest of the league!

Yeah, I look back to earlier in the season when I hit into 6 DP vs Milleram! Generally, it seems 2-3 per game (although I am sure that is not accurate.) I know i have a lot of big DP guys, but still not fun! LOL

You hit into 6 DP not only because your team hits into them, but because my pitching sucks and runners were all over the place! :oops:

4 more last night, so keeping up the pace! I do have a lot of singles hitters, so you’re right about getting guys on base creates more chances for double plays.

I just checked and MLB record for most gidp in a season is 174 by 1990 Boston Red Sox. I’m quickly approaching that. :)

Friggin' Stoney has won 18 of 21 and is now only 5 back and we play tonight! :o :shock: :shock: :shock: :o

Dang talk about streaky. Did you get a new good luck charm Stones???? :? ;)

We cooled off a bit, we had a pretty good stretch there ourselves, and have gone 11-10 so he's gained 7 games in 7 series. Yeesh. As I said, it's not over in the West.

We need to take two tonight at home to slow him down! Sheesh.
