So, start the closer controversy in Washington

So, start the closer controversy in Washington

Weird, I don't think the Braves have had a closer controversy as of late. Are you sure the Nationals are following their model correctly?

All 3 options are terrible. Should see if they can acquire Jose Valverde in a trade.

Can Matt Adams please get a number lower than #53 now? You're on the big league team for good, kid.

Cubs played pretty well tonight to end the 4 game skid.

Marmol didn't blow it and got the W. Fujikawa grabs his first save as the official "closer" as well.

Go Cubs Go

Gotta hand it to the Mariners for executing trades for both the AL and NL home run leaders. Only one trade actually went through of course, but Jack Z picked some good players to #target this winter when looking for an #upgrade.

Fuck tradition, adopt the DH now, National League.

 

[FedEx227]

No, seriously. Join 95% of other baseball leagues and adopt the DH.

Ryan Howard and Michael Young both went yard back to back against the Mets. I was hoping we'd be able to sweep the Phillies while they were down, but it's hard to sweep a team with that many good hitters. Rollins, Utley, Howard, Young. Four MVP type guys at the top of their lineup. :running:

How has this dreadful post been skipped over?

The NL better stay away from the DH for another century.

Because it is Gob doing some low level trolling.

I think we can all agree that we'd like to willingly see worse players more often. What a luxury!

Yeah thank god for the AL or we wouldn't get to see Carlos Pena bat 4 times each game!

 

[FedEx227]

And yet his shit line is still better than 90% of the guys batting in the everyday lineup in an entire league.

 

[FedEx227]

I get why people like the non-DH, I really do. Just realize that you're willingly offering to see worse players (bullpen arms, subs) play more regularly because of it.

 

[FedEx227]

I wonder what the correlation of non-DH lovers and college basketball fans are...
