A hot Polar bear is a thing of beauty.

And had that one gone Off the fence rather than over it Pete's got himself a very long single which is NOT a forgivable sin in that situation where he's the tying run.

Cmon Baty!!

[Gwreck]

I haven't been able to watch. Why is Diaz pitching the 8th inning of a tied game?

[metirish]

Dammit

[Edgy MD]

Maybe it was a bad decision to let Baty practice that play with Lucas Duda.

[Edgy MD]

OUT!!!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Holy shit do the Marlins get screwed over there

What an inning by Torrens!!!

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm not missing Francisco Alvarez very much at all.

I think he probably was out there (I didn't think so at first) but was it "definitive"?

Let's put it this way, I'd be bitching about it if the unis were reversed on that play.

He was already warmed up to get some work in with the off day tomorrow so it was logical to bring him in once the HR happened.

iow, he was coming into the bottom 8th no matter what happened.

[Edgy MD]

I miss Garrett Cooper.

Yup, the 8th is as important as the 9th in that situation.





Gary just credited Torrens with "throwing out all three stolen base attempts" against him this season.

But shouldn't the leadoff steal in bottom 8th there go against his record even though they never made a throw?

I mean, he clearly stole the base off Diaz but that happens all the time. I suspect Gary just misspoke.

[Frayed Knot]

Buttosattva, won't you take me by the hand









Hey, we made a clean infield play!!!

[Edgy MD]

Stay in your lane, Soto. Do not chase. Alonso is behind you and hot.

[Frayed Knot]

Woof!



1st & 3rd / none out and never came close to scoring.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Pathetic. We should already have lost.

[Edgy MD]

I would be highly tempted to run Siri for Soto here, but probably not.

[Frayed Knot]

Marlin pitcher Xzavion Curry would net you some SCRABBLE points.

[Edgy MD]

Dinna swing, Winkie.

[Frayed Knot]

The bases-loaded BB, our best scoring play after the bases-loaded HBP.

The bases-loaded E6 can be an effective approach also.

[Frayed Knot]

Is there something in the rules that prevents us from getting a ball out of the infield with a runner on 3rd and < 2 outs?

[Frayed Knot]

Oh Danny boy, don't put this speedster on.







Too late.

[Edgy MD]

Danny Young may not have any saves in his career, but he is currently tied with Johneshwy Fargas as the franchise's all time leader among players wearing 81.



But it ain't looking like he's about to extend that lead.

[ashie62]

It does look like Young may be Syracuse bound on the day off

[Edgy MD]

See, now, if Zvon were here, we would be getting a cool graphic of Huascar Brazoban as a Muppet in a garbage can or something.
