[Lefty Specialist]

Stroman not keeping his pitches down, and the results are immediate.

[Frayed Knot]

On the plus side, it was only a ten pitch inning.

[Frayed Knot]

As dynamic as Baez can be both with the bat and the glove, who's going to give him the big contract while he's carrying a .269 OBA?

[Frayed Knot]

Did Gary just say that Mrs. Met was blowing Mr Met's trumpet?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gotta stop wasting doubles

[Edgy MD]

Wow, this guy was managed by Oscar Charleston.

It kills me to see Pete chase those sliders off the plate.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way to lay off that shit, Pete.

[Edgy MD]

That's the way to lay off that shit, Dom.

[Methead]

Feels like they're gonna do enough to come back and win this one

[Edgy MD]

Well, I'm not seeing much from Hendricks here. It'd be nice to see them chase him sooner rather than later.

[Methead]

Gonna take more effort than that, yeeeeesh

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, they're swinging at slop.

[Edgy MD]

Also, speaking of not busting it, when Stroman grounded out for what looked like the third out, Baez held the ball for a beat or two to make him run hard, and instead, he more or less slowed to a stop.

[MFS62]

(Channeling the always erudite Fmann here)

This game sucks a huge bag of donkey dicks.



Later

[Methead]

no glove, no love

[Edgy MD]

Maybe that stop by Alonso can be their turning point.

[dinosaur jesus]

When did the Cubs sign Goose Gossage?

[Edgy MD]

He's like Nick Nolte in Goose Gossage drag.

[Edgy MD]

That barking fan that the mic is picking up is going to be sorry in the morning.

[Edgy MD]

They all seem to be guess hitters tonight, and they're guessing wrong over and over.

[Edgy MD]

Top of the order in the ninth. Let's.

[Frayed Knot]

Gonna have to do it against Kimbrel

[Benjamin Grimm]

Need a bloop and a blast, as Tim McCarver used to say

[Edgy MD]

All-Time Save Leaders



9) Jonathan Papelbon: 368

10) Jeff Reardon: 367

11) Craig Kimbrel: 366



Win this one or Jeff!!

[Frayed Knot]

Kimbrel is only 33 y/o which is strange considering that this has got to be at least his 22nd year in the league.

[Edgy MD]

Shmee. Two hits?
