QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Based on how good our bullpen was last year? Like a 5 era or something (completely guessing on that number, but it was bad) Regardless, you've pointed out one instance. I wish Pete Carroll could have a call back too somewhere along the line. Doesn't make him a bad coach. I'm not going to look through every box score to find multiple instances of Robin pulling a starter too early or leaving him in too long, I don't have time for that. I don't think Robin is a bad manager, this is my only issue with him.

You guys are missing my point- I had no problem with Robin leaving Sale out there to face Trout. However, I did have a problem with him bringing Sale out to start the inning when he had already thrown many pitches, was showing clear signs of regression, and had a fairly comfortable lead. You also have to remember that this was one of his first few starts back from the DL.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) You really think our bullpen was LESS likely to give up a home run to Trout than our 2.17 ERA starter? Trout probably would not have hit that inning had we pulled Sale before it started.

This is just one instance by the way, it stood out the most.

QUOTE (daggins @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) Not only that but the pitch Trout hit out was at his ankles. Maybe 3 guys in baseball can hit that pitch. It was just a case where a great hitter won. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that Sale never should have started the inning.

Yes it does

Teuvo Teravainen is better than Trevor Van Riemsdyk

Ryan Hollins is better than LeBron

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) In the minors Rodon had #41, which is currently held by Javy Guerra. No one wears Rodon's college number of #16. Isn't it retired?

Patrick Kane is better than LeBron at baseball

77 to 5 is a pretty big change.

One thing he did poorly was deciding when to pull starters. One example would be the game against the Angels where Sale had thrown a lot of pitches and was dominant, then had a bad inning. But Robin decides to send him back out and he ends up giving up a grand slam to Trout that nightmare inning.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 01:29 PM) I'm a bit tired of disney underdog sports movies... None of them will top Miracle (that's Disney, right?) but I still think this one looks promising.

Look, nobody cares about King James, ok?

Anyone planning on seeing the running movie? McFarland or whatever?

Just try to remember.

How does 2+2=4?

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 17, 2015 -> 09:39 AM) I will happily take this but at this point I'd have to say the Pads take the cake. Too bad they play in a stadium that makes baseball as interesting as cricket. Leave cricket alone!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 16, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) Yea I'm sure these guys are chomping at the bit to get going. Bit of a late start this year, last year the first game was on the 28th of February. Yeah, they're excited alright.

A very clever post
