Run support is more important than elite defense imo.

I hope to never see Bo play SS again. With a bum knee he’s a first baseman or DH lol.

The idea of him coming off the IL and without seeing how he looks immediately playing SS in the playoffs definitely worries me.

No, Coughman and Hoffman are much closer and thus Boogie's is better

Ok I will concede but I still may use Chokeman

Jeff Chokeman and Jeff Coughman can be both used interchangeably. Main thing is that this guy can no longer be a Closer throwing 93/94 Miles Per Hour Fastballs. I do not mind putting him on the DL for the rest of the year, in the hopes of his "Dead Arm" can rebound for the playoffs and calling someone else from Buffalo for the next ten days or so. Chokeman/Coughman got lucky last night that the Rays hitters bailed him out with horrible swings for the final two outs.

Pitching and defense matters in the playoffs. I'd put these two ahead of run support.

So the umpire had to run to the parking lot and get equipment from his car

I was excited when I found out this game was supposed to start a half hour before the last two nights (about 10 minutes before it was scheduled to start). Since then we’ve had a rain delay for 20 minutes and now this.

What is the actual reasoning for this delay? I thought the game was supposed to start at 7:07 and when I tuned in 15 minutes late, the first pitch was just being thrown...and now we're delayed again?

Seemed like Gausman was playing into Simpson’s strength with all those pitches away.

Potential · Post #776 » by **Potential** » Wed Sep 17, 2025 11:50 pm

This guy Simpson is the hardest out in baseball history

Randle McMurphy · Post #777 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Wed Sep 17, 2025 11:50 pm

Well this one’s done early. That delay destroyed Gausman

Randle McMurphy · Post #778 » by **Randle McMurphy** » Wed Sep 17, 2025 11:51 pm

Yankees already hitting around another trash Twins’ pitcher too, the collapse may be back

*1-0 first inning*

Randle: game over

Are you always like this? Always looking at things from a negative POV.
