    Outside of Miley's first couple of innings, the bullpen has been great. 7 game rotation for the playoffs should be Verlander, Cole, Greinke, Bullpen game, Verlander, Cole, Greinke 

    And right on time here comes devo stomping out to send everyone home 

  2. Well it's more about the "no discounts" thing than the "anti-Astros" thing.  I never thought Boras was so much anti-Astro as he was "pro-squeezing every dime possible out of all negotiations". 

    I think HG is right, basically the only form of "hometown discount" Boras would allow would be in the form of a huge $$ per year shorter term deal.  So no discount on the dollars per year, but slightly more palatable to the team in terms of not such a long term commitment. He (Boras) can sell that as still getting huge dollars, while saying Cole is betting on himself, because if he keeps pitching this well (or even close to it), a 2-3 year contract now and then a new 3-4 year contract after that would almost certainly be worth more than a single 6 year contract now.  Give up the long term security in exchange for more overall money and flexibility, while expressing confidence in your client's abilities.  

    So anyway yeah, he's gone, and I will be sad about it when it happens, but this is all cart before the horse stuff, let's worry about winning the World Series this year before we worry about how they'll go about repeating next year.

  3. I'm also overly encouraged every time Cole acknowledges the fans, his teammates, etc., and it really does seem like he enjoys all of it, and I start to tell myself "well maybe.. "  

    But then a little voice in the back of my head says "Scott Boras is his agent."

    It's "whoa" BTW. I normally wouldn't be sensitive to such inconsequential things but this board seems really touchy when it come to grammar.  Just a friendly warning  or the grammar hall monitors might make you kneel in rice as penance. 

    This can’t be real.

  5. Yordan making the case to sit on the road in the WS and Devo’s fuckery culminating in a 2 strike meatball to the guy we’re turning into the Korean Mike Trout, this inning is an absolute fuck

     

    and now some bullshit from Toro, great
