Jimmy hitting us with the f***ing sound waves like in cricket

Seranthony was crap last year up to striking out Goldschmidt and Arenado back to back. He punch out probably similar caliber hitters in Acuna and Riley tonight back to back so maybe this gets him going. Would be huge.

The fact that he was challenging them with fastballs is a good sign. There was a lot of late life that got them to swing through it.

need a Jomboy lipread of Strider in the dugout after the 7th. He was PISSED

 

[DancingPanther]

Missed the entire 9th inning because I walked into a fire. Not one but 2 NICU babies getting intubated. Glad to see they eeked it out. What an enormous win. Holy f***. Wheeler tomorrow? Don't f*** this up

Ok so the one baby got flown to Philly so the pharmacy was shaken by the helicopter as usual, and the other baby died. What a night

I've been thinking about Kershaw's historically dismal start.

Sometimes starting pitchers don't have typical command of their pitches. Is this something can be diagnosed before a start? If so, why do we get blowup outings from effective pitchers? Is there too much trust that a starter can work out of a funk or pitch effectively with subpar offerings? Assuming that a battery can tell early on if a start will be poor, I can't understand why they'd take a patient approach if they're trying to win a game. Last night, the Dodgers basically lost the game in the first inning. There must be a warm up process that would allow a team to quickly understand if a pitcher isn't prepared for a multi inning effort so they can get guys ready in the bullpen.

Wow, we all watch, comment, and argue about sports but reading something like this just puts into perspective that ultimately they are just games. Very sad.

Heartbreaking

Death
taxes
Flyers overpay for rhd
Kershaw stink in playoffs

all locks in life

So the most important thing to me about last night is that we went to the bullpen in the 4th inning and they still managed to shut out the Braves. Our weakness won us Game 1.

With all due respect, I'm going to pretend I didn't read this so that I can have a happy weekend with my own kids. Condolences to all involved

 

[Rebels57]

Cant f***ing believe these knuckleheads strolled into Atlanta and shut them out. Unreal.

O’s are selling.

Long way off, but you looking to avoid anyone?

Id like to see how Framber pitches tonight. He's been on tilt this season. Cant contain his emotions. Javier hasnt been as good as last year either neither has their bullpen. Id like the Twins or Os, I think the Astros will go back though.

 

[Svechhammer]

Doesn't look like the O's are going to be playing for much longer this year. Absolutely imploding against the Rags

 

[wankstifier]

Ugly one

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Thanks for coming out Baltimore, looking forward to you selling off these guys when they get too expensive.

The Braves and Dodgers.

I won't believe these two teams are dead until they are buried.

Houston on the other side is still dangerous. Maybe not quite as strong as last year but well-rounded and they have a ton of experience.

Yo Mets. Ya'll need a letter of recommendation for Matt Klentak?

 

[FLYguy3911]

A GM in baseball has no power anyway. Stearns will be running the show (Klentak already worked under him).

Seager has 5 walks tonight, lol
