Almost no one in the AL does. That said, watch the AL win the World Series this year.

I'd feel so much better if we had gotten anything at all out of our MiLB pitching development.

To be fair, they get excited when something big offensive happens. They went crazy for Pham too. I just sounds worse for one team when it is 6-3.

And apparently Newcomb is out there to die.

It's that lack of depth and riding the guys who don't suck so hard that is coming back to roost.

Nevermind... go back to throwing balls.

Even got the Pham victory laps. So predictable. It's like Romo's three homer game.

I will believe it when I see it.

Again, watch what you wish for, Acuna is now an every day player.

Thank you, thank you very much.

I will jump in and we can make it a class action. We are all aggrieved.

Off the wrist. Yikes.

Does he not want kids anymore?

That was days ago. Keep up man.

Literally your 1st assumption is wrong. Players are told where to play and adjust. It's not the old days anymore

Was just going to say, he probably gets his only hit of the season and then declares victory.

Wait, you think people are NOT freaking out about Mune?

Well, those who wanted Mune not in the clean up spot got their wish...

In the Cle, we all Pham

It actually has meaning in Cleveland beyond the generic term.

We need a ton of starting innings next year, and I am not sure where we are going to get them from. Supposedly the move to the pen this year for Smith was temporary, same with McDougal. I expect to see both of them at least start the spring as starters. My guess is that after two season as being a vital part of the bullpen, Grant Taylor is there forever.

Don't you know BST stands for Bull s%*# Time?

I will also throw out there that a fair amount of the things we get mad about (line up construction and general pitching usage) have been done for a number of years in combination with the front office and might not even be Venable decisions. Because of the roster management involved in some of these moves, I highly doubt Will alone is deciding the starters on a particular day. Now Will probably has the power for in game moves and when to deploy them, but all of the way back to Hahn, the setting of the rotation, openers, line ups, days off etc, are made in cooperation with the GM to make sure the roster fits what is being done.

Knowledge or guts?

He almost got the 0-1 pitch which was 101 up and out but was just under it. The funny part is Stone called for the next pitch to he face high fastball. Spoiler alert: it was not face high.
