If you watch these clowns and watch a lot of teams under pressure to make the post-season, ie, Giants, Dodgers, Brewers, the hitters are all dropping their back shoulders during their swings, thus flying open on the front side and popping up pitches they should be crushing. This is typical of players who feel a lil "choke" hold on their throats. You didn't see this happen with Nats, Angels and Orioles much the past few days leading up to their clinchers did ya? Dodgers did it a lot in the last 2 games @ Coors field and Giants did it quite often vs Arizona, A's have done this since Cespedes was traded and Brewers currently are doing the same thing. All this has proven is, these teams have mostly played "under games" except the Dodgers @ Coors field.

Melvin managed the same way with the D-Backs, then he was fired!! You can't win by thinking you are going to win, you have to execute and make good decisions. Leave Sam in into the 9th and let him make you take him out before going to the pen in the 9th!! Bunch of managers who sit on their thumbs and read, "Moneyball" all the time are itching for a disaster and dismal career.

A's right now may not make the playoffs.

Oh yeah, if you watch the Tigers and Royals, these two teams are both doing what I said up above and if you watched the Tigers game last night, Cabrera on 2nd and a runner at 3rd, Cabrera runs off the 3rd base runner leading into a double play and thus the chance of a go ahead run or two for Tigers turns into a road loss vs the Twins!! Fucking Tigers!!

Angels just might play the Nats for the World Series!!

:shrug:

Good thing their are 9 innings mostly in baseball!! :mj07:

Braves on done!! Cooked!! Finished!! I can't wait to see the off-season firings just after the final day of MLB, first one will be Braves firing Wren & Fredi Gonzalez!! Then it will be Toronto firing their GM Anthopolous and Gibbons. Seattle has ran out of gas literally and now lose lefty Elias with elbow trubs, but they aren't hitting and really have no bench to count on, Smoak? He's done too. He's one clown who can't take criticism and change his approach to hitting and those kinda primadonnas are a dime a dozen. Seattle was smart in acquiring Cano, for that amount of money NOT, but for the bat, YES. They are still a couple of hitters and another starting pitcher away from winning the ALW. But bench strength and pitching stamina has taken this team out, jess!!

Braves were done once the Nats took over first and Gattis missed time. They have no leaders in Atlanta and both Uptons are primadonnas. Their whole starting staff took a plunge to TJ surgery and the only two pitchers worth a flip have been Harang who was released before the regular season started and Alex Wood. Teheran has fallen apart and Santana 2nd time around vs the NL did not look sharp, he was a better reliever with the Angels than he was as a starting pitcher, if you remember, he was a set up guy for Percival who could throw upper 90's with a jerky delivery.

Now watching the A's hitters trying to swing down plane their second time up vs Martinez!! LOL

GL jess!

Martinez throws 6 straight balls and Callaspo is up 2-0 in count. Instead of waiting for him to throw strike, he swings and makes an out

Horrendous
