Good Analysis on the young M's pitcher Elias, there are many unknowns with him and nothing encouraging stands out from his minor lg stats...that said, its harsh to call a 25 yr old kid a career minor leaguer

I saw him throw 5 innings last week in a spring game. The competition wasn't great but he did toss 5 scoreless and featured a nasty curve ball that is definitely major lg caliber. What earned him this start over young arms like Maurer and Beavan (decent minor lg stats, deer in headlights on major lg bump)and retreaded vets like Baker and Wolf is his moxie - the kid actually looks like he belongs out there. When you were once on a raft in the dark trying to get out of Cuba and into Mexico, a big league game isn't scary i guess...

The A's patient approach will test this resolve, no doubt, and we will know a little more about him after tonight.

Good thread here Steve Nash, I love reading about baseball from people who love the game like i do =)

Thank you sir, drop by anytime.

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 03:47 PM

Jeez it still early but we might need Cincy to get us 6. Don't like way cards swinging the bats.

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 03:49 PM

Bang bang

**kaijunn** · 04-03-14, 03:52 PM

already 3-2. good start!

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 03:59 PM

Hopefully they can get whole gm in

**stevenash** · 04-03-14, 04:14 PM

Bases juiced for Craig, one out.
One time Craiger, end this thing right here in the third.

One time big boy!

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 04:17 PM

**stevenash** · 04-03-14, 04:22 PM

Ugh, could have wrapped this puppy up right here, right now.
Had Homer by the balls at 2-0.

Not a problem.

Let it go.

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 04:54 PM

Damn Bruce ripped that. Bad luck.. Maness worming up in pen, that good for our cause, not sure why cards keep that dude around? Yea he produces lot of ground balls but he can't miss a bat to save his life..

**stevenash** · 04-03-14, 05:51 PM

It's either a double or a tater.

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 05:56 PM

That was all jacked up. They better get us this damn run cause shoulda already scored

**2daBank** · 04-03-14, 05:57 PM

Yeah, Braves, Hale is great, I always knew that because he progressed at every level, Zimmy was doubtful all morning, Vegas delayed putting up an number, 11am I had to go to a meeting, no line yet, I go to my meeting, I am dying to know if I could get +180 or so on him, get back from meeting, game is off already, in the first, I see Hale is lights out, I am pissed because the 2 hour window I had to bet it, I was in a boring suck ass hi tech, conference call meeting.

(remember this going forward, Hale is beyond legit)

I may post something in a bit, looking at something.

Weird to see the Braves offered at such a high number. I had ATL +130 -- figured the books knew what they were doing.

Spot play on a live dog that just may both bark and bite.

Hit my only play yesterday as the Red/Card total sailed over the 7.5
Since that play only went for 2* instead of 3* that makes us:

YTD 4-2 +5.3* this first week so far.

SF (Vogelsong) +154 over Ryu

LA Dodgers first off are going to be overinflated all year, they have become the new public darlings in MLB replacing the Yankees and Red Sox, and to a lesser extent the Cards, and there will be times when there is a lot of value in fading LA, this (imo) is one those times.

Yes, the Dodgers are the team to beat in the NL West, however, that lineup is nice and all, but it ain't Ruth and Gehrig of the 20's.

Ryu is a nice pitcher and all, but he's not the incarnate of Cy Young and Sandy Koufax.

And the Dodgers are not, are not, +154 better than Vogelsong and SF in this spot.

Giants can rake, at bat for at bat with the Dodgers, they have thump with Posey, Pence, Panda and the rest.

This roster does not fear Ryu

Totals	90	26	5	0	0	6	10	11	.289	.360	.344	.704

On the flip side, Vogelsong is not elite, but he's a good back end of the rotation guy and I like his approach, I am by no means a Giant fan, but I have always liked this pitcher.

Dodger bats have always had trouble with Vogelsong in the past.

Totals	112	29	3	2	2	13	10	14	.259	.320	.375	.695

I don't want to get long winded here, I am betting SF just 2* here, but know this, this is no slam dunk, Vogelsong got touched up earlier this week, this is the Dodger home opener, (which is why I think Vegas has this +154 instead of +145 or so) and Ryu is a good starter.

I am on SF because, (uh oh, he comes the 'v' word) I think there is a ton of value here at +154, I am on SF becuase SF bats can get to Ryu, I am on SF because Vogelsong has demonstrated in the past he can handle these bats.

SF +154 2* gets me 3.08* back.

This is not an auto-tail play, you guys can sit this one out if you are not comfortable.
I like the odds here.

**Julian9** · 04-04-14, 03:26 PM

Boom! 3-0!

**mcdonae101** · 04-04-14, 03:28 PM
