IGT 5/30 Brewers v. Mets Davies v. Pill

[ashie62]

Maybe we can steal one here. Both pitchers are below mediocre.

[Edgy MD]

My thinking is that Pill's level is far from established.

When we faced Davies in Milwaukee two weeks ago he managed to throw over 100 pitches in 5 innings while giving up 7 hits and was lucky to get away with only four runs scored against him.
That he and the Brews later got the win was a tribute to their 8-run bottom of the 5th -- off Gsellman & Robles -- in what I called at the time perhaps the worst pitched baseball game I ever saw.

Tuesday night Lunch Club is taking the night off as I'm traveling for work.

[Theoldmole]

Let's hope this Pill works like Viagra.

[ashie62]

The magic Pill!

[ArnoldRothstein]"Tell Pill to hit the first batter if the fix is in."[/Rothestein]

[metirish]

Davies looks like he is 14 and trying for some facial growth to look older

[Guest cooby]

I hope Pill is Gramma's Little Helper

[Guest cooby]

BTW. I got some passionate mouth kisses from my 100% Italian named grandson today, although he has blue eyes and blond hair. A little bit of an identity bender.

[Guest cooby]

Kinda off topic, I know

[ashie62]

Pill looks good.

[Centerfield]

Don't get shut out by Zach Davies.

[Edgy MD]

I wonder who the Milwaukee GM is taking to the prom?

[Guest d'Kong76]

Brewers find RISP a tough pill to swallow this evening, details at 11.

[Edgy MD]

That inning is something to build on. Come on, Metbats!

[Guest d'Kong76]

Double double vision

[Edgy MD]

d'Arnie whacked in the face with a bat. Man.

[Edgy MD]

Travis has one devil's horn tonight.

[Edgy MD]

I like Pill's bunting technique. He actually squares his hips, which nobody does anymore.

[Edgy MD]

d'Arnaud should've tagged from first on that fly to left.

[metirish]

Come on Jose

[Edgy MD]

José Reyes is the very embodiment of restraint.

[Fman99]

Nice work tonight by Pill, my favorite San Dimas resident since these dudes.

[Lefty Specialist]

Oy, Salas. No trusto.

[Lefty Specialist]

That may be the best throw d'Arnaud ever made in his life.

[Frayed Knot]

Nice Pill-ing tonight.
Gave himself some trouble with the BBs and the opening HBP, but I think all of the hits he gave up except one were pretty soft and/or seeing-eye.

His ERA certainly took a plunge and he has a chance to even his career record.

[Guest d'Kong76]

That's a Dudaboom!
