    bad decision by hurdle to chase the division as i was saying for days, volquez was like a 10 era in the playoffs in his career, cole was a number 1 overall pick in the draft, bumgarner was awesome probably wouldnt have mattered anyways, just an embarrassing performance by the pirates overall

    Guess the books were just plain wrong about this line, which was my gut instinct. I just couldn't figure out how SF could possibly be even money here.
    I thought the line was exactly were it should have been given how both pitchers have pitched lately. My book had SF at -107 and it never moved...glad I got it though.

    Tigers 1st 5 -120 is what I am on in the first one.

    Leaning over in late game.

    Tigers are in the -135 range to win the series, which is surprising to me given they don't have the home field advantage. I'd be careful wagering on the O's today. If Detroit doesn't win Game 1 with Scherzer, I think they'll have a hard time taking the series.

    Tigers should be -200 here. -135 is basically a gift

    Why not just take them for a better price in Game 1, then double down on them for the series after Game 1 at a + number if they lose today?

    Why would you pitch to Cruz there?

    WTF is Ausmus doing?

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Ausmus clearly clueless as usual. There is no question Balti has a huge coaching advantage in this series.

    VMart just went yard.

    There are a lot of little moments here and there that add up and expose Ausmus as the virgin manager he is.

    Not with 1B open and two outs you don't.

    Or at the very least, you don't give him anything good to hit.

    Let's see -- do you try to get the third out on Nelson Cruz or Steve Pearce?

    I think you are wrong, with your logic you never pretty pitch much to him the whole game with a man on?

    Not to Nelson Cruz with 2 outs. No. You don't give him a pitch to hit in that spot. He has no protection behind him.

    It's Scherzer. He made a bad pitch. It's a percentage play with your ace on the hill. Doesn't mean the coach made the wrong decision in the 1st inning. Give me a break.

    My point exactly, putting another man for no reason at all in favorable position with 2 outs is reaching. And yeah, 1st inning lol.

    I didn't say it was Ausmus' call that particular time. That was on Scherzer. He knows better than to give Cruz something to hit.

    Jones or Markakis hitting behind Cruz = you have to deal with him.

    Pearce hitting behind Cruz = you try to get him to chase something, throw nothing over the heart of the plate, and take your chances with the next guy in the lineup.
