Let's go , Kodai

[Fman99]

I think I will put my head in the sand this afternoon and watch the evening replay on SNY. I am super swamped at work anyway

[TransMonk]

Alvarez flexing with a day game after a night game.

[Edgy MD]

For now, I'd prefer Vogie hitting fifth and Baty seventh. Let Baty learn the league. Let Vogie reach base.

[ashie62]

Time for a winning streak



How about Frankie at 5, not now



Canha has to show me something here

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

this is bad

[Methead]

sweet holy christ

[kcmets]

I think I'll go bury my head in the sand...

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

this inning was the equivalent of gelbs as an announcer

You're not wrong. Gelbs is bringing too much of his sideline shtick to the booth.



I like bringing another pitching analyst in when Darling is unavailable, though. They should do the same for Keith and always keep a three-man booth.

[ashie62]

Are you effing kidding me?



Geez, I might have to accept that they really are this bad

[ashie62]

Possible that Steve just rolled snake eyes on the signed pitchers

[Edgy MD]

You're never as bad as you think you are when you're losing. You're never as good as you think you are when you're winning.



I'm pretty certain nobody's kidding. Senga, meanwhile, finds himself in inning two.

[kcmets]

These guys have a seven-run inning in them in about a half hour.



Stay tuned...

[ashie62]

I understand, Senga has less than advertised as I see it



This lousy play is starting to look like more than a temporary trend



Best way I can put it



They very well may right the ship and maybe very soon but I have real cause for concern

[kcmets]

Senga struck out five guys in a row. Many of the hits off him were garbage.

[ashie62]

We have a few members here that would be a welcome addition to the booth

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Four runs in that bandbox is nothing. We got this.

[kcmets]

I was gonna lay off Gelbs, but please go get a job in Seattle next year.

[Edgy MD]

MOTHRA!

[ashie62]

As in like GODZILLA?



Nickname MOTHRA for Senga?

[Edgy MD]

You didn't see Mothra attack the third-base camera?

[ashie62]

I missed it



However wouldn't MOTHRA be a cool nickname for our Japanese pitcher

[ashie62]

Canha made it

[Edgy MD]

When Álvarez takes a pitch, he seems pissed that he didn't get something to hit.

[ashie62]

Not even close in my eyes

[kcmets]

Dumb and wasted challenge.

I'll take an entire team of that

[ashie62]

Maybe put Scherzer on the IL and promote that Lavender guy
