I really want to come in here and Rag on you guys for riding the Horse too late in the day. Chris Sale.
But he continues to get Results that defy the possibility that his pitching style causes more work for his arm than other pitcher's styles do, i.e. his Delivery style being much more arm-dependant than other's styles incorporating more lower-body than arm etc......just a theory....
Problem is BULLPENS though, Bullpens. I suppose Bullpen pitchers have always come in and completely Blown it, proved incapable of doing even the simplest of things, extinguishing even the lamest of bats.
Its Bullpen Pitchers. In all of Sports I can't think of any facet that has cost me more money, brought me more stress and overwhelming sadness than Bullpen Pitchers.
But King Eleven...I'll only accept a little sadness from you cuz your Colorado TT OV 5.5 cashed somewhat miraculously.
Due to a Bullpen Pitcher.
Demonstrates that, yeah, it IS possible to be on the Right Side...on occasion but everyone of you knows as well as I do (and it has been said many times before this) that we wind up on the Wrong Side a percentage of the time a Bullpen blows it to where it feels Mathematically Impossible to achieve...being on that wrong side. Over the Amount of Time we have...managed to land on that wrong side...of Bullpens.
Like if we chose Heads on a 100x Coin Flip and had it come up Tails 73 out of 100...then agreed to try another 15 Rounds of 100x Flips, and managed to get the same 70% or so Loss Rate somehow. I swear its like this and its the oddest thing.
Buulpens.

of course I am sometimes lucky to have a "good beat" but the thread was titled bad beats not good beats....besides, Rockies scoring 2 runs in the 8th inning (and not batting in the 9th) to push their total over and into a win for me is HARDLY the same as losing when you are up 3 with TWO outs in the ninth. Kinda apples and peaches to me.
Apples & Peaches, a bit easy on me actually. Less Harsh than I deserved.
Within your short time posting you have definitely demonstrated an ability to locate the Right Side, its been impressive.
I'm feeling NYY TT UN will be +EV going forward, possibly some success with -1.5 and/or TT OVs of their opponents after NYY auctions off their Bullpen.
Odalis Chapman threw 105 MPH Fastball yesterday.
The mind blowing thing about me personally is that my basic cynical, pessimistic, expect-the-very-worst manner as result of being of mostly Welsh & Irish Bloodline causes me to be overly attracted to TT Unders, Unders across all Sports, Fading Teams (rather than trying to ID and play on a winning side) and this state of being is a YUGE Handicapping Handicap.
Mourn your Bad Beats, everyone, but Celebrate that you're not cursed with what I am, cuz this tosses massive Shade onto getting the best of it and it may be the among the worst bad beats of all, having wound up with this dumb debilitating Haze thru which I have to try and locate a +EV Play.
Results, overall, not close to as BLEAK as that above sounds.....except with NFL the last few years
and the currently Re-Juiced baseball (in response to pitching dominance last year) is costing me...
Ya'll are fortunate to not have to 'cap thru such a Haze though
My Impression is its just a matter of WHEN..
No Runs DMC gets dispersed.
Kinda sad really....as there is a BULLPEN
that we could actually avoid getting beat by.
Has to be among the very best Trio out the pen ever....
....they will be cast out onto the land though....
....wonder if The Cubs can get any part of that
