Trade Holland for a 12 pack of Billy Beer, leave Wader in New York. Thanks for the memories guys. If we are gonna lose, I’d rather the kids get the experience. [Reply]

Holland has a role in the pen, just not as the closer. [Reply]
I understand the argument that Barlow is more valuable as the fireman (he is!), but I don't see why Zimmer or Brentz aren't the closer over THE VETERAN (Matheny's one true love) Holland. Holly just hasn't shown he can be vintage Holland on consecutive days anymore. [Reply]

Am I wrong in thinking that Matheny kind of sucks? Seems like every other game he’s burning through the entire pen. Wasn’t hard to imagine Holland blowing this. [Reply]

It seems like there's something going on with Staumont... but hopefully it's not Matheny playing the mind games with the youngsters he was infamous for with the Cards. [Reply]
Since I couldn’t watch on tv I was seeing the play by plays through the app. Holland didn’t throw but a few fastballs, mostly sliders. I’m no baseball guru, but I think that speaks volumes.
Duff-man was on some sort of pitch count, yes? Hope Salvy is okay, I had not seen anything on him yet. [Reply]
