IGT cinco de mayo -- game 1

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Stroman opposes Kwang Hyun Kim, a 32-year-old lefty and former Korean league cy young equivalent winner.



He did very well last year but defied the stats -- doesn't strike out guys, low babip.



The Cheetos may be rained out tonight but if not it's possible I won't be around to start the game 2 sweep thread. Keep that in mind as Operation Quattlebomb Margarita goes into play

[kcmets]

Anyone know who PointsBet has as most likely to hit the first Quattlebomb© ?

Asking for a friend.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Lineup is for the lefty obvs. First quattlebomber is Lindor. WRITE IT DOWN

[Frayed Knot]

Going against the Asian stereotype, this KH Kim guy working quickly so far.



Top-1st: Pop-up, 1B, BB, Pop-up, 4-3

[duan]

I'd be tempted to to PH with Dom Smith here.

REALLY TEMPTED.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Bases loaded for James McCann.



Even-money he grounds into a triple play

[duan]

hence my ph'ing with Dom.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Dom lines into a triple play

[Frayed Knot]

We're now having discussions about mound discussions which in turn leads to a discussion with the NYC overseer umps which has turned into a ten minute break and they're still not done!!!!



But at least we have the automatic IW to speed things up.

[duan]

btw - i think Cards now pull him either way.

[duan]

PH FOR MCCANN

[duan]

poor kisner.

has he had his kids yet?

[duan]

OMFG

Arenado had a triple play in mind but only gets one out (assuming the booth are right)

[Frayed Knot]

And now we get to go to the headsets again.

[bmfc1]

It's hard to believe that baseball isn't more popular with so much action this inning.

[Frayed Knot]

Don't worry, replay reviews will be quick!!!

[kcmets]

One of the weirder half innings of baseball one is going to witness. And there's

still only one out.

[duan]

longest stretch of four batters in ML History LOL unbelievable

[duan]

honestly they should have hit for mccann.

[duan]

jesus fucking christ. (apologies edgy)

[bmfc1]

Bases loaded, none out and they only score one and that was because Arenado dropped the ball. Quattlebaum sux.

[Frayed Knot]

I shaved right after the 3rd inning ended but i think it's grown back since ... so I'll be right back

[duan]

[Edgy MD]

Use two claws, polar bear.

[Frayed Knot]

Man the Cards have a bunch of cheap hits today
