Minor Threat iGt 7/7/14

[Zvon]

I think they should put some kinda doo-dad in 2nd base that can read when the guy making the turn passes over the bag. The base could light up or something.

This guy was pushing off the bag though, which is rare on a DP attempt.

GRANDY SAY RELAX
(I'LL DO IT THE SLOW-PLAY WAY)

[Zvon]

They made a fool of ya Murph. A fool!

In other NL East news, the Orioles just hung a six-spot on the Nationals (including 3 HRs) in the top of the 11th.
8-2 O's heading to the bottom half.

Always nice to knock one of those badass Braves bullpenners out of the game... until you realize that there's another one right behind him.

Tosca holding his closer?

[Zvon]

Ugh. Wright, you're killin me.

Time for an early midnight snack.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Certain the Braves will extend this inning to Freddie Time.

[Zvon]

It's like they're playing pinball with our pitchers.

[Edgy MD]

OK, good time for a Doody BombTM.

[Edgy MD]

Loved seeing Laggy put his head down and pump there.

[Zvon]

NICE! He waited nice on that. I thought he'd take a huge swing and wiff.

Huge double..YIKES! This pitcher is wacky!

[Frayed Knot]

Doo-Doo should have tagged from 1st on that.
If it fell it didn't matter and if caught he could have walked there.

[Zvon]

Ugh, T again w/2 out. Well, he can do it.


YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Edgy MD]

I love these uniforms.

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta like a game that ends with four tied innings and Kimbrel never gets off his butt.

[Zvon]

T is such a lil snotnose kid. Running to first holding up a #1? Ha. Big hit though kid. We needed this.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well that was nice.

Yeah, with the lack of a protest, the lack of a Kimbrel, I feel pretty blessed by the Braves. Also wondered if Tosca was giong to go with five infielders, but nobody does that with two out.

I have to say, it was kinda unprofessional of Ruben to yell, "Bite me, Starlin Castro!" during the postgame.

[Frayed Knot]

Upon reflection, my first thought about last night is that clutch hits have been so rare this season that when something like Tejada's single comes around it's almost shocking.

[Edgy MD]

Indeed, all four Mets RBI came with two out. So your system must've sustained some serious punishment.

[Frayed Knot]

It was mainly just the last one.
We've seen so many of those game-winning and/or game-icing opps go by un-cashed this year that I've become conditioned to the idea that they won't.

�It�s one of the worst calls I�ve ever seen.� --- Fredi F. Gonzalez

How is denying his team the stupid privilege of enjoying a clearly blown call one of the worst calls you've ever seen?

Fredi, your argument should be with your shortstop, not with the umps.

Felt exactly the same way. I actually dozed during the 11th, and didn't see Rube's bit until the second or third round of Sportsnite after the game. Much like me, it's getting more than a little old and tired.
