    And they'll stop making them when we stop buying them.
  2. Frayed Knot
    So the return of McNeil and Conforto have certainly been a tonic for the two-hitter/shutout blues.
  3. Frayed Knot
    Giants-Angels were 1-1 at the end of 9 SF won 9-3 in 12
  4. Frayed Knot
    We might have caught a break on that throw hitting the mound.
  5. Frayed Knot
    Thank you Ozzie

    2-1/2 hours to play 6 innings. Once upon a time that was a somewhat longer than average full game. But at least today's games are higher scoring ... oh wait!

    =LWFS post_id=68907 time=1624493603 user_id=84] We've gotten to the shitty retread longman portion of their bullpen in the third, so in a way, we've already won.
  8. Frayed Knot
    Bunting to lead off an inning and set the stage for runs is for winners.

    =kcmets post_id=68930 time=1624497345 user_id=53] Cardinal Dolan is in Steve Cohen's box!

    But not always on soft ones to the pitchers
  11. Frayed Knot
    There's such a heightened level of Khanfidece on hard grounders in the infield that was sorely missing in recent seasons.

    I feel like this is the part where Hefner and the infielders all gather around Megill like the Goombas around young Henry Hill outside the courthouse and say, "Hey, you broke your cherry!"
  13. Frayed Knot
    Megill's pitch count is high so this is going to be his last inning I'm sure. Now he needs to make it through the frame. ... and McNeil helps him out.
  14. Frayed Knot
    I doubt the quality of the food is going to turn out to be the cause behind the pink slips.
  15. Frayed Knot
    The Nats are also 3.5 games out of 1st place and therefore unlikely to be conducting any fire sales in the near future unless and until conditions change drastically.
  16. Frayed Knot
    Looked at from the other side, the Phils scored 12 runs on 15 hits and overcame separate four and five run defecits .(apparently someone can hit Erik Fedde even if we can't) ... and still managed to lose the game. And we'll see them starting Friday.
  17. Frayed Knot
    Nats and Phils are trading leads and Grand Slams this afternoon in a game which might still be going by the time ours ends tonight. 11- 9 Nats, and still just in the middle of 6th (and approaching 3 hours) in the city of brotherly bad pitching. Slams by McCutcheon (PH) for the phightins & Bell for the Nats

    Bartolo's last MLB season, 2018 (TEX): 28 games/24 starts; 5.78 ERA; 1.35 WHIP; 10.6 H/9 ; 2.0 HR/9 (every season of his career had been under 1.5) ... and that was three seasons ago when he was only 45 y/o. His one saving grace is that he still wasn't walking dudes (1.5 BB/9) otherwise that WHIP gets real ugly.

    Was watching a Braves game recently -- Chip Carey, Jeff Francouer, Tom Glavine -- when the 7-inning topic came up, and both Francouer and Glavine said the same thing: 'would have hated it as a player, love it as an announcer' ... and neither of them is anywhere near as old and curmudgeonly as Keith. And even Gary said he likes the "drama" of the 7-inning DH's. He's not so keen on the Xtra rules or the DH but if main-streamers like him are on board for L.L. DH's (already used throughout the minors) then there's probably not a lot of insider opposition. And I'll get up on my soap box once again to say how this whole thing is just another manifestation of them now being able to get games completed in under 3 hours. Get those things back to even within shouting distance of 2-1/2 and many of these issues go away.

    btw, meet Wander Franco's https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=franco000wanolder brother Wander and his other https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=franco001wanolder brother Wander, neither one of whom reached the Major Leagues. The Wander Francos (pops Franco is apparently also named Wander) are cousins to ML brothers, the Aybars: Willy & Erick

    =kcmets post_id=68845 time=1624415634 user_id=53] Three runs before three outs. Difficult, not impossible.

    Edgy MD wrote: It's disappointing to hear Keef talking about the universal DH as a fait accompli. Gary has been feeding that concept to K & R all season so it's not surprising to hear him repeat it.
  23. Frayed Knot
    Oh good, another [insert here] pop-up / weak grounder from Lindor!!!
  24. Frayed Knot
    So we've been two hit twice this week and are now in the process of getting one-hit.
  25. Frayed Knot
    So basically on the last 48 hours it's: Lucchesi (probably forever), Gsellman, Stroman, plus maybe Villar and maybe Nido. That's about our standard pace for '21 oe: and I forgot Familia
