Aces Up, Now Down

Post by DOUGHBOYS » Sun Apr 07, 2013 11:46 am

Strasburg, Dickey, Cueto, Verlander all giving up multiple runs within two innings....
And none of them were even facing Chris Davis.
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!

And to follow up on the game show reference, David Price was not right today.

Cain, Wainwright, Weaver and Darvish any predictions to which ace collapses next? My guess is Darvish after that last performance it's a let down matchup

I'm nauseous (don't care to look how it's spelled, I'm gonna vomit) meanwhile Price's counterpart the early Cy Young candidate Justin Masterson has thrown 13 IP in 2 games w/ 13 K and 1 ER. He will soon be 2-0.

And Joey wonders why I want to drop out of this forever and go to the dark side (daily action) for good :evil: :evil: :evil:

yeah, 3 ER in 5 IP that's what I expect from Worley or....Masterson.

While I had Mr. Stud defending Cy Young Price in there I sat JM, mostly b/c I was scared of his Opening Day matchup in Toronto against those mashers :o

My only consolation is it wasn't my Main team, but that's ok Price is doing a yeoman's job of leading that squad.

Lesson learned, from now it's the Massotto approach - Hitter rd's 1-9, then worry about those stinkin' pitchers :evil:

Deep breath David :D You like Kershaw? Did he have a good year last year ? 1.02 whip I believe. Well against SD he had 4 starts and his whip in those 4 games was 1.459. SAD DIEGO of all teams !. Shit happens, it's all just water under the bridge after 6 long months..

Thx Steve.

Just a little :mrgreen: frustrated after finally having a decent hitting day (thank u Billy B.), and Mr. Price melts down against a team his rookie teammate just completely shut down the day before. Oh, and the Yanks are up 3-0 in the 8th, looking fwd to a Mariano Save, but noooooo let's tack on 4 more. Great. Wonderful.

Hey Cano you gonna earn that massive contract sometime THIS yr, or maybe I shoulda just drafted Jay-Z :roll:

I'm sure the LowTalker would just tell me, "serenity now, serenity now" :D

Now Darvish and Weaver have given up multiple runs in the first inning!

I can't say I ever recall a day where staff aces have been shelled like this.

And looks like Yu left "with hand injury " according to the MLB app that I am checking which I guess is a blister issue. Weaver on the other hand appears to have hyper extended his elbow

Yep - I have Dickey and Strasburg on my only team. Plan was to ride the old ace and the young ace and dominate the pitching categories this season. Only 4 months until football starts. :( :shock:
