JMHO 3/26

I read Sherlock Holmes in grade school 

Nats and O's win.

I'm officially 2-0 on Keys threads, unofficially...

That's a wrap for me this year, batting a thousand. 

My next posted play won't be until game 1 of the WS between the Kansas City Royals and Washington Nationals. You heard it here first

Now we root for the Rays, good luck Key 

@undermysac

 We have heard worse (and more honest) BS from you in the past. Take it with a grain of salt guys.

  <---1/6 of a premium twelve pack.

rays go up 7-1 and seymour cant get an out. 7-6. rays are gonna give me a heart attack! lets goooo boys!!!

unfucking real. an 8 spot! 

@chitownjake007

 Yeah, if I do an analysis of this game later it may come down to one bad pitcher and bad management. Need a laugh? Next time out there will be guys that go against Rasmussen because he and the Rays SUCK, but of course those guys are dead wrong. Razz was as good as I had hoped, and the Rays are pounding the ball, but s**t happens and it may bite today. 

@KeyElement

You have a follower for the rest of MLB, my friend.  You were on the right side.

Dumb question but do you factor bullpens in your bet say after like a month or so when you have data to go off of?  The Rays I thought usually have a decent pen each year.

Brutal managing by cash in that game. He pinch hit for his 3 best hitters in that game. 

@stevex01

 Darn good question. Yes I consider bullpens when some cumulative data is available, but nothing like the starters versus the starting line ups. I believe getting ahead at any point is the key. No one has ever explained to me how the better bullpen is going to come up with 2, 3, 4 runs after their starter has blown it. Bullpens can HOLD leads if you get one, but they do not produce runs offensively.  

If I suspect a tight game where the bullpens will be a factor, I usually play that game first five innings to avoid the stress (also to avoid management miscues).
