You could argue Darvish + Command = Ace, and his command has gotten a lot better over his last 5 starts.

Didn't you guys pay a shit ton of money to get him from Japan or is that a fever dream I had?

He has a very solid FIP and xFIP, and obviously 4+ WAR. Not bad.

 

[zulux21]

talking about Aces

if the standings remain as they are the only starters in the cy young running making the playoffs are Sale, Johnson and Harrison lol

60 mil contract over 6 years + 50 million dollar posting fee. Yeah a significant amount of money. He's only recently turned 26, and still has an Ace ceiling.

 

[Branduil]

Harrison or Darvish will be the number 1 starter. The Rangers nearly won the World Series with CJ Wilson as their number 1. They don't really need a shut down ace to win the whole thing.

Well the main problem is Holland and Dumpster being the 3 and 4 starters.

A better deal than we gave Tim + Darvish isn't trying to piss everyone off (he has been better lately).

Ahahahaha @ Felix being fucking NINTH in the listing. Yeah I guess a perfect game and 5 shutouts isn't worth shit.

lol @ those rankings.

Holland is like the ultimate wildcard, could be awesome, could be complete shit. He's pitched really really well in September though.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Panda stop being fat and play your position.

 

[Branduil]

Holland is like the ultimate wildcard, could be awesome, could be complete shit. He's pitched really really well in September though.

Well the other problem is I still don't completely trust Harrison in the postseason... and who knows with Darvish. The Rangers are going to roll out without a single proven postseason starter.

 

[zulux21]

Ahahahaha @ Felix being fucking NINTH in the listing. Yeah I guess a perfect game and 5 shutouts isn't worth shit.

for the record... not my rankings they are espns

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Got out of that one. Daaaaaaamn

 

[Dominican Power]

Miggy is only 16 runs behind Trout.




Seattle is doing god's work. : )

 

[Macattk15]

Get that CYP shit out of here.

Such a horrible fucking stat ESPN made up.

Jim Johnson bitches! Rafael Soriano BITCHES!

VICTORY BONUS! LOL.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Reds really need to cool it with the winning.

 

[cashman]

I would say Holland proved he could pitch effectively in the post season last year.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Reds really need to cool it with the winning.

Should go all out until resting everybody worthwhile in the last week IMO.

 

[Carlbeego]

Seattle you better not blow this shit.

 

[Carlbeego]

I would say Holland proved he could pitch effectively in the post season last year.

Was shocked last year when I found out Colby Lewis has the lowest postseason era of any active starter.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Oh shit, Baltimore! Two on no outs.

 

[rando14]

Come on tom you can do this.

 

[endresults]

Fucking Mariners, knock that shit off.

Gary Thorne's voice makes me miss hockey.

EDIT: Bartenda waterin' down the drinks.

 

[rando14]

FUCK OFF

 

[Carlbeego]

Fucking horrible.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Tie game!

 

[Macattk15]

Well puke on my fucking dick.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

did you guys already see this fan's shenanigans during the Pirates/Cubs game?

Well he can, but that's not the same as will.

 

[cashman]

Pretty successful debut for Wilmer Font!

Was shocked last year when I found out Colby Lewis has the lowest postseason era of any active starter.

It's also worth noting that Colby Lewis' 2011 regular season was actually worse than the season Dempster is currently having. Post season pitching is very random, it all depends on who gets hot.

 

[Jangocube]

Dat clutchness

Dude looks like Dexter. Hilarious.

I don't know what to do, really. Being penalized for winning is a new thing to Baseball... Although I'm sure one of you guys will have an example of where it has hurt before.

 

[Macattk15]

Olivo walked twice this game.

That should be a M's victory.

 

[rando14]

Mariners lose. The Super Showalters are scary in extra innings.

 

[Bowflex]

Rangers pitchers: half aces.....half turds. Wash put the dregs in tonight. Both Scheppers and Mark Lowe need to be permanently sent down to AAA.

Also, some of you RangersGAF guys are shit fans.

 

[Bowflex]

My volume is a little low, but I swear I just heard one of the Rangers' commentators say 'holy shit.' anyone else watching and catch that?

Nice dig and throw for Profar. He might not be hitting any longer, but he's showing some mad D.

Lastly, fuck this game.

 

[cashman]

Profar! What a stud!

I didn't hear it.

 

[Macattk15]

Kyle Seager will be so awesome in a few years. I feel it.

 

[Bowflex]

Profar! What a stud!



I didn't hear it.

hmmm, maybe I'm going crazy then. I blame game 6

 

[rando14]

Wow that was quite a bit off the plate.

 

[Macattk15]

Fucking umps. Fucking extreme lefty strikes. Ball 4.

Suck a dick ump.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Wow that pitch was way off.

 

[Macattk15]

Wow that pitch was way off.

Seriously. It was a good 3 inches off the plate.

And then he ejects him.

Fuck off. Ejected for umpire incompetence.

 

[endresults]

He got ejected too. Mega dick mode.

 

[Bowflex]

Soto reached on an error! Start of a B team rally, I can feel it....

 

[Carlbeego]

Mariners getting fucked by the umps.

 

[Macattk15]

Mariners getting fucked by the umps.

Not much is new. Like they need any help being fucked.

I can't fucking stand umpires. I don't understand how some umps run out there every year with seemingly no repercussions.

Apparently bunting a ball off your foot is allowed. Fucking cock ass umpires.

 

[endresults]

Umps are unionized, and fucking ENTRENCHED. You couldn't pry one of those idiots out of their job if they blew every other call.
