We need some DUDA DUDA

[Zvon]

At least hit a fly to the OF Dude.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fuckedy crap

[Zvon]

UGH, what a pitch. Saws off Lucas. And of course, almost makes it to the OF.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tricky bloop. That was well-played by Flash Junior.

[Fman99]

Damn you Mets and your LOBs.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have a plan for the 8th! Load the bases, and get
no runs!

[Frayed Knot]

Four ABs with the base loaded: results = not one ball out of the infield.

[Frayed Knot]

The other thing that's not helping is the station-to-station ball we've been playing. Have hit a bunch of singles w/runners on but haven't been able to go from 1st to 3rd on any of them on account of:
- fairly weak singles most of the time
- slow runners most of the time
- we keep hitting them to Puig

Meanwhilst, reports rolling out that Dodgers catcher Miguel Olvio, currently drawing his paycheck in Albuquerque, bit off a chunk of a teammate's ear during a game today.

[Zvon]

JHC!, Ive had enough of Centeno behind the plate. How the fuck do you not catch that?

[Edgy MD]

Another gets by Centeno.

He may need a hook.

[Guest d'Kong76]

More loaded bases, wrong team.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, but who comes in for Centeno? You can't use Recker, because you want to save him, in case something happens to Centeno*.


*It makes about as much sense as the you-can't-use-your-backup-catcher-to-pinch-hit trope.

[Edgy MD]

Does any outstanding hitter look more like a cab driver than Adrian Gonzalez?

All these awesome physical specimens and the guy I'm afraid of looks more like a building superintendent resigned to disappointment.

[Fman99]

I love baseball but this is some tedious shit. Throw a fucking pitch.

Then you need a 3rd catcher. If d' is gonna be slow recovering from his bump on the head, which is worrisome to hear, we gotta be adjusting to these things on the fly. And Juan on leave had opened a spot? Do I understand that right?

You're right tho, here. I'm just really down on Centeno.

[Zvon]

Just his work behind the plate though. I'm okay with his slapdashary hitting.

[Centerfield]

I hated Andy Van Slyke and I hate his son.

Not sure, but I've been thinking about going to hog-butchery college in pursuit of my artisanal bacon dreams. I have a feeling Van Slyke might know a little something about it.

[Edgy MD]

Can o' corn.

It's like Mark Trail out there. You know the villains by their beards.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey look, we've struggled this hard, we may as well go win this thing.

[Zvon]

Obviously, not in that spot though.

Valverde does his job. We've used 6 pitchers.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, great, it's a beard festival and here comes Brian Wilson.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ah, but that's where you're wrong, Z-- we're in it because Valverde didn't do what he usually does.

Wilson's been kinda flammable this year, hasn't he? I remember seeing a few bumpy box score lines in the last couple of weeks.

[Edgy MD]

Wilson looks terrible here. Let's do this.

SAFE! YES!

And his pitching looks pretty bad too.
