Lazy effort by Wong there.

Baseball is a funny game. Neshek was nails for 5 months of the season and Martinez was mediocre at best. But now Neshek sucks balls and Martinez is throwing good.

He's done. His september was awful. The last few weeks were bad.

Damn it. Had a chance to sneak out of there with 2 wins against the best they've got.

Now gotta beat Ryu (we never do) at home.

That's still luck-based. His xFIP was worse than Maness', and he has been a turd for a month now.

He has always been Pat Neshek. There was no reason for Matheny to think he was anything else after September.

Yep, looks like Martinez was the choice.

For the love of God.....finish this shit now.

Just a personal opinion thing, but in October, I'd always go with the power arm vs a finesse guy.

Any shitty reliever (Jim Johnson) can pitch out of their mind for a year while they ride batted ball luck. A good manager should be able to realize that kind of performance is not sustainable and shouldn't be trusted.

Alot of us think Martinez should be closing. Rosenthal has had few clean innings this year especially after the All-Star break.

You don't have to be lonely, at Farmer's only dot com!

Kenley's cutter is nice right now.

We could have six outs this inning and probably still wouldn't score on Jansen. He owns us.

Do you really feel that Martinez couldn't implode?

Unlike Neshek, both Martinez and Maness keep the ball on the ground a lot more as well. Helps with their lower xFIP totals.
