If you had a lineup of 9 Jack Custs who hit(Cust career average) .239 AVG, .382 OBP, and .475 SLG, then your team would score 6.12 runs per game-totalling to 991runs a season.The 08 rangers lead the majors in runs score with 901.

This is what happens when you get 18 outs from your starter

It's definitely on Ziegler

I just would like to see pitchers pushed sometimes to get out of their own 6th-7th inning jams. It’s an important skill for a starting pitcher to have.

If he was, that's fine I guess

To be honest, I didn’t really see that but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t the case. He’s always one pitch away from a DP, and letting guys figure out how to get a couple clutch outs when they’re tiring is not always a bad thing.

was a comedy troupe that formed at University of Iowa in the mid-70s, then relocated to the Bay Area a year or 2 later. A few of their characters/skits have gotten a bit of media play (Ask Dr. Science, Merle Kessler’s Ian Shoales character, Randee of the Redwoods). Dr. Science once had to answer the question, “Does the Pope shit in the woods?” IIRC.
