I think we should definitely give up on Medlen after 1 start ... especially since Simply Red concluded he couldn't handle AL lineups ... you know ... cuz 1 DH really changes things so dramatically !!!
Kershaw would be a nobody in the AL |

If you actually look at the advanced analytics ... Gordon was actually always a lot better than we all gave him credit for ... but hey, no one thought about 'WAR' back then ... it was home runs, batting average, RBI's ... everything else be damned

He thought a lot of factors for better fielding and hitting and examples were better quality of pitching. Meaning in Majors guys are always around the plate. In fielding the upkeep of the playing surface no so many bad hops. Quality travel and sleeping arrangements leading to better rest. Had lots examples I dont know but sounded pretty good. Of course Major League pitching also catches up to guys once they figure you out they got you. |

Are you telling me outside of the American League I'm supposed to believe there's some other mythical group of other teams from all over the nation also playing baseball. Ha, that's rich!

Apparently Matt Harvey just told reporters he's always considered 180 IP his limit and refused to answer whether he'd pitch in the playoffs. Boras wins again. Mets fans are going to go insane.

This x1000.
Not sure why people are still bitching about JGuts. He's been pulled from the rotation and is only being used in long relief/ mop-up duty in mostly meaningless September games. He won't even sniff the playoff roster. And, yes, his 3 IP last night DID help by keeping the Royals from having to use one of their more vital bullpen arms in a game that was already lost. |

Back then a joke going around was that if you were going to the Royals game and sitting behind the 1st base dugout you needed to go to Arrowhead & get helmet just in case one of Brett's throws nails you in the head.
