OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Apollo, you wanna to ring the Bell?

[Scandale du Jour]

Crappy base-running is really a problem...

 

[DanielPlainview]

And of course Polanco gets a single immediately

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Crappy base-running is really a problem...

And now useless steal attempt backfires.

Why take away the bat from your best player's hands?

 

[DanielPlainview]

Should probably be 1-0. Instead, they f***ed themselves

 

[DanielPlainview]

That might have been the slowest DP I've ever seen... but I'll take it!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Marte redeems himself by driving Frazier home. 1-0.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a smart play by Brault to get an easy out. That's a high IQ play.

 

[ChaosAgent]

This was always going to be a game that we needed to score 5+ runs to have a chance. Let's get them.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Should be a tie game right now. Can't leave runs on the bases with dumb baserunning. Especially this offense

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Melky <3

 

[Empoleon8771]

Hurdle pinch hitting for Brault in the 4th inning to get 2 runs is a super bold move that I love seeing him make.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Aggressive move by Hurdle. Glad it worked out. Hopefully the bullpen can hold it together

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Boooom Polanco!

 

[DanielPlainview]

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Dammit...

 

[DanielPlainview]

That's why it's nice to score runs and give the pen a little margin for error

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Tucker is such an incredible fielder.

I’ve been checking in intermittently on mlb game day and is it just me or have the balls and strikes been terrible this game?

 

[DanielPlainview]

It's been consistent for both teams so I haven't really noticed

 

[OnMyOwn]

I didn’t know he could throw 101...damn.

 

[OnMyOwn]

102?!?! Jesus

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Raise it!

 

[DanielPlainview]

That is a steal of a win with Brault starting and the bullpen going 5 innings. Nice to see the offense actually score runs.

 

[ChaosAgent]

That win feels like we stole one.

Masterfully done by Clint Hurdle with pinch-hitting for Brault with Melky. We have to give credit where it's due. Winning 1/2 with Brault-Kingham pitching is already a victory.

 

[DanielPlainview]

I'm guessing Kingham will be on a long leash tomorrow after using almost the entire bullpen tonight
