I was writing the same thing then,,bam

[Zvon]

Wow. Good game and I only saw the not so nasty bits.

[Edgy MD]

Now NEIUWIE's shot I might have sent Omar on, but he seemed to stagger step around second.

But trusting the next guy paid off.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yay!!!

It did. And maybe Grandys season turns on this.

I just thought theyd have to be perfect to get him and the way things have gone with Grandy....

But good move, cuz we won. If we didn't what would be typing now? Bad stuff about the Mets.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I really thought they were gonna lose and blow
Wheeler's great game. Happy as all heck again.

[Edgy MD]

Poppin' to the rhythm of the Curtis Gee
Who needs a Farnie when we we're home, scot free?

By the way, how huge a load is that off of Germen's back?

[Frayed Knot]

WOWZERS!!!


THOUGHTS ON THE GAME!!!!

1) Someone asked when Q got in there: he was double-switched in when Germen came in the game

2) Did Germen get rattled at the strike three/3rd-out call he didn't get on Salty? Kinda looks that way, huh?

3) d'Arnaud bunting? Not my favorite move but it's tough to say it was the wrong one and it did make more sense because of Abreu being on the bench

4) Abreu: That's the EXACT situation you got him for and his AB there was perfect ... only the result wasn't.

5) Sending Duda: I'm not so sure he would have been safe had Yelich not fallen but you gotta send him there regardless. Yeah he had to go a bit sideways to get the ball but he still got it on just one hop and wasn't very deep when he was about to unleash

6) PH-ing Kirk for EYJ: I liked it. EY would have had to hit LH where he's not so good, plus his specialty this season has been getting on base but not necessarily via a hit which is what we needed there. Plus better chance for power.

7) NOT Sending Q: Right move IMO. Yeah something could have gone wrong with the relay but on balls that don't even get to the wall and then are right back into the cut-off that's a tall order. Also, once the game was already tied you're in a less desperate situation.

8) Five straight LHBs against side-arming Cishek is certainly the way you want to do it. Only d'Arnaud that inning wasn't and that's another argument for him Sac-B-ing

9) The Yanx are losing by like two touchdowns to Anaheim

I dunno, but I stopped building my doghouse. We need G to be effective more than not, and he really has been. Still, if we didn't comeback I'da thrown him in the doghouse.
