    My two top SPs are Kershaw and Greinke, so all is right with the world. ok, I've been focked out of a dozen wins on brilliantly-pitched games (Greinke all year, Kershaw since June), which has focked me out of 4 pts in Ws even as I chase the league's all-time ERA and Ratio records.

    I assume the Dodgers will never score for them, and blow any late lead the bullpen gets for either of them, and that soothes me as it happens time and again.....

    Greinke has 23 quality starts in 25 tries - and 13 wins (including his 4 games before yesterday, so the jinx is lessening). in 17 of those games, he allowed 0 run or 1 R, plus 3 allowing 2 R and 3 allowing 3 R.

    Kershaw has 21 quality starts in 25 tries - and 10 wins. all but one of the misses was in April/May. he only has 12 games of 0 R or 1 R, plus 4 2 R and 5 3 R games (again, most of those early).

    those win totals seem a little.... low
    Wins are a terrible stat. We're switching to WQS (W + QS) next season. QS aren't great either but combining them both lessens turns each into a 1/2 stat and eases the pain.

        Maybe 1-2 times per week at SS and 1-2 times per week at 3B. With Peraza and Turner banged up they needed some depth.

          Yeah, seems like a good time to show him what he'll see next year, see Young Joc for a blueprint of what's likely to happen...overkill pretty much nailed it.

          In other news, how about that knifing of the Giants?

          • Is Puig still in mlb?

            • Last year's pennant winner in our league dealt away a cheap Puig to me to clinch the title.
              This year, I dealt away a cheap Puig - with the same result.

                  I remember wishing I hadn't wasted money on Bobby Parnell and Sergio Romo so I could have bid on Anderson. Not a whole lot of upside in keeping him, but if you don't have any better keepers he wouldn't hurt you either.

                    • Any idea where Alex Guerrero fits in on this team next season? At age 29 he seems to have enough talent to put up some good numbers if he plays everyday next year. Does he become a starter for the Dodgers, remain on the bench, or get traded?

                      • In case anyone hasn't seen the news, the inevitable split between Mattingly & the Dodgers occurred today. Good luck, Hit Man!

                              Who knew that playing and commentating on poker would prepare you to manage in the major leagues.
                              Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
