Can someone get a message to the top three hitters and suggest that maybe they NOT go 0-fer-10 with 4 Ks and leave a ton of runners on base today?

Maybe CF can pass a note to Alonso's parents during breakfast at the hotel.

[MFS62]

So, in a must-win game (as though they all aren't), Cano is the cleanup hitter.

This one's made in the shade.

Man, how the hell does running Votto with the count 3-2 on Suarez work out?

[Edgy MD]

Is there a limit to how many trainer visits a team gets? What's with the manager and head trainer standing on top of the dugout after an HB staring at the player and wondering if they should bother moving?

[Edgy MD]

We're looking at some dangerous living by Mickey here.

[Edgy MD]

A homer, three straight walks, and Eugenio Suarez coming up.

[Edgy MD]

Brock becomes the pitcher of record with one pitch as McNeil struggles through the sun to make the final out.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Can't the official scorer award the win to any reliever without adhering to some rigid formula when the starter doesn't complete five innings?

[MFS62]

Can't the official score award the win to any reliever without adhering to some formula when the starter doesn't complete five innings?

Yes, but they generally wuss up and award it to the pitcher in Brock's situation. They use some "briefly and effectively" standard in the official scorer's mind if the pitcher only throws one pitch. I hope that becomes a consideration in this game.

Bring on Edwin Diaz.

[Edgy MD]

God bless these Reds chasing Diaz' pitches.

And if you don't bring "it" Edwin, don't bother to bring your luggage to the team plane back to New York because you aren't getting on it.

OE: You're getting on the plane.

[Edgy MD]

Holy smokes, he struck out the side.



What a fascinating mess this guy is.

He had me reaching for my heart pills.

Mets playing their third leftfielder of the game as Tucker Barnhardt pulls the Reds within two.

[Edgy MD]

Gotta get a guy on here so Alonso can take another shot at Romano.

[Edgy MD]

And Shmimmo hits one exactly where Conforto's went.



Hey, we forgot to put the game time in the thread title!

Well they did, sorta'.

Just like they wrote the script.

And don't put the game time in the thread title. (Who's superstitious?)
