Nice sequence from our LOOGY to end the threat in the 7th.

Jon Jay, you've been judged and found wanting.

Our not so secret weapon VS. the great Jonathan Jay. Is it Jonathan? I don't even know. Nor do I want to.

I don't know if was the opening year, but they may have meant the Beltran-Cameron collision, maybe?

Upton sucks, whoa, what a slide by Plawecki! 2 doubles for the kid. This is good.

[Frayed Knot]

NYM bats (via their incompetence) seem determined to make the Bartolo runs stand up as the margin.

Reed's slider has more of curveball-type a top-to-bottom break.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Fastballs in the mid-90s, sliders at 89-90? If that radar gun is accurate, Reed's working with more horsepower than I recall him having.

i cant stop watching it over and over again.

Was just thinking this. The lack of tilt isn't necessarily a good thing, is it?

[Zvon]

Gah. I won't say he sucks. We didn't get him for his glove.

Gary & Ron talked earlier about Terry NOT making the double switch to get Lagares in.
I tend to agree w/Terry that it was too early/risky to do it then, but I hope this doesn't burn us here as you'd have to think that Juan would have pocketed that one.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So... one run ballgame, spacious OF... not that he would have gotten that, necessarily, but why no Lagares plug-in, anyway? Forget the double switch.

[Edgy MD]

It doesn't burn us after all.

Heckuva challenge pitch from Reed.

[Frayed Knot]

Hah! Reed 'em and weep!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whew.

Anyway, on to a more important matter: was that Pods fan down the first base line wearing a late-period terrible-BRIAN Giles jersey, or a late-period terrible-MARCUS Giles?

[Guest themetfairy]

KaBoom from The Captain!

[Edgy MD]

Wright's reached base five times tonight, right?

That is indeed where the collision occurred. Did the fans act badly when Cameron was down? Gary said something along the lines of, "Stay classy San Diego."

Meanwhile Conforto KaBooms right into The 7 Line section!

[Edgy MD]

Let's destroy the save opportunity.

Good inning overall by Reed. Got beat by a couple of soft singles.

And, the flip side of NOT having the defensive change is that Conforto would have been out of the lineup.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And now, an even MORE Confortoble lead.

[Fman99]

KABOOM! Insurance runs are nearly as sexy as a pudgy Latino goin yard

[Fman99]

Back to back! AND BELLY TO BELLY!

[Zvon]

Wow. I was making a snack. I thought Conforto hit one. Oh, back2back? AWESOME!

[Frayed Knot]

Carlos Villanueva = Charlie Newtown

Also = victim here tonight.

Single, three free passes, and that.
