[Edgy MD]

Neato is a big vecro strap adjustor between pitches.



And a leadoff double!

How does every fucking opponent with an ERA of 6+ put this lineup into Operation Shutdown? I'm about to throw a fit.

[The Hot Corner]

Lead off double by Nido. McCann pinch-hitting for Reid-Foley. At least he can't ground into a double play in this situation.

[Frayed Knot]

And now we're freed from Max

[Edgy MD]

So, do you bunt here?



I not only want to bunt, but I'm ready to send Stro' out there to pinch-run.

[Fman99]

I want James McCann leaning into every pitch, like Rudy from Bad News Bears.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Ronnie's right. Lee should be running the bases here.

[kcmets]

McCann! No, really!

[Edgy MD]

We have a competent bunter in captivity!

If you think that McCann sucks, and he does, then you will agree with this column: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/james-mccanns-awful-start/https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/james-mccanns-awful-start/ [bLOCKQUOTE]I'm not going to complicate this: pitchers aren't really attacking him that differently...The struggles feel more like McCann's problem as opposed to something the opposition is doing to him. ... He doesn't have a strong enough track record to believe he has a good chance to come out of this with time and the already fragile plate skills paired with the sharp groundball increase don't bode well for a return to anything resembling 2019-20.

McCann says, "Bite me, Fangraphs!"

[Fman99]

Holy fuck?! McCann is alive?

[Frayed Knot]

Bringing the infield in could jack Lindor up to a .230 hitter

[The Hot Corner]

Who was that guy that hit that RBI double? I swear, it looked like McCann. My eyes must be playing tricks on me.

[The Hot Corner]

Lindor works a walk. Need a good at bat here by Alonso.

[The Hot Corner]

Nice stolen base by Lindor. removes the possibility of a DP.

[bmfc1]

Dammit, Pete.

[The Hot Corner]

Alas, Pete goes down swinging.



ow, walking Dom to pitch to Pillar. Fine with me.

SHHH, THEY DON'T KNOW HE'S THE BEST OF US

[kcmets]

Holy fuck, Pillar down and bleeding bad.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ew

[Edgy MD]

Wow.

[Fman99]

Yikes that was awful

[Frayed Knot]

'Game delayed to clean up blood' is not a phrase you want to hear.

[Edgy MD]

What kind of craziness is it that you want to take your pitcher out and you're not allowed to?

Commish-crazy.

[Edgy MD]

I haven't seen a pall thrown over a game like this since the Beltran/Cameron collision.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice no-fuss inning by Jay O. Reese

The guy is worth $14 billion and he punctuates like a second-grader.
