El Chapo returns. Wouldn't it be the perfect time to adopt the Tampa model?

I have this terrifying fear that Aroldis Chapman will pitch the ninth inning tonight, attempting to close a three- or four-run lead. And instead of a series-winning, month-saving victory, we will suffer a soul-crushing defeat.

Wouldn't it be smart to do what major league relievers usually do when rehabbing in the minors? That is, start the game, pitch an inning, and go from there. Don't subject Chapman to a ninth inning pressure cooker. If he has control or command issues, let it happen in the first, with your actual starter warming in the pen.

It makes sense. Why do we all know that the Yankees will never do it?

  1. Because they fucking well won't, that's why. You know it, I know it, every-fucking-one fucking knows it. They won't even teach hitting against the shift, like an opposite field basehit would make the shriveled fucking rotting penis of the bloated fucking gas-filled corpse of King George (god fucking rest his soul) fall off or something.

    Fuck.

  3. Does Aaron Boone consult Satan or the opposing team before making his lineups...why the hell does he insist on batting Hicks 3rd he's a .240 hitter for crying out loud

  4. Warblist - you just made me snort pumpkin ale through my nose. Not as painful as bourbon, but pretty spicy.

  5. Start Chappie, bring in Betances for the second, Green for the third, then Sheffield until Robbie needs to take over.

    It could work.

  15. That's why Hicks is hitting third.

    On a religious note, God bless Machine Gun Kelly:

  16. Sox looking tired and like they don't care. Good.

  17. Speaking of looks, doesn't ICS look scared behind the plate now? The contrast with AnDUjar is amazing. AnDUjar has that "do you want a piece of me, punk?" look.

    Just warming up.

  20. TWW,

    My night is good right now. Just finished a baked haddock dinner AND I get to see the NESN postgame show on my local cable. It should be fun to watch the pain.

    On a down note, El Chapo will probably give up three runs in the ninth as a 'tune-up'.

  21. I hope they score another touchdown this inning.

    Sheffield is up!!!!!

  22. The Master just called McCutcheon "Lawrence", as in the football player.

  23. Had a French Chardonnay with a shrimp curry. Room service. It was yummy. Too tired to leave the hotel after travelling.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm retired. The thing I'll miss second-least (after asshole coworkers) is the traveling. When I travel now, it is convenient hours and generally better accommodations than what work would have paid for.

  25. Rothschild should go and have a talk with the kid --"just throw strikes".

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think I understand why Sheffield hasn't been brought up yet. He's giving us the ol Gallegos special.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Well that was refreshing. AHH! AHHH!!! Aha-ah-haaaaa!! HaaHaahahahahaaaaaaaaahhhh!!
    AAaAhhaaaa-haha-haaa-hhhhhHHHHHHHHaaaaAAHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaaAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!

  29. The NESN idiots are claiming the short porch is the reason they lost. Steve Lyons is the voice of reason, incredibly. "A home run is a home run"

  30. Warbler, Bermuda must agree with you. You are EN FUEGO tonight.

    How do you like Bermuda? I got there once for a wedding. Beautiful place, though it felt a little odd, like a ritzy suburb moved to the middle of the ocean. Liked those shandies, though.

    By the by, technically, Andujar is "El Matador" while it is Torres who is "El Conquistador."

    But hey, you can call him whatever you want as long as he keeps hitting like this.

    They were saying today he is the first rookie third baseman EVER with at least 25 homers and 40 doubles. Amazing.
