    Chirinos. Sounds like a new Taco Bell item.

    Nope, just an overall opinion based on his entire career as a right fielder.

    Parra makes me nervous but he's been a lot better lately.

    It's a team I definitely worry about as part of that post-ASB west coast trip we've got coming.

Gotta hit the fat ones. Need at least a fly ball there.
    Probably a fair point. I'm blacked out tonight so I can only go by Marty & Jeff (and gameday). But play a clean 3rd inning...this game is already over. 3 errors in one inning is Cubs-esque.

    The joke is on the Rangers. They got through the 9th having to use their closer. The Reds used Manny Parra. Suckers.

    He called Chapman as a closer 3 years ago. He was matter-of-fact about it. I remember it clear as day because it was when I was fully in the "Chapman needs to be a starter" camp.

    Wild Thing explained exactly why Chapman should be a closer and why he would excel in that role.
