OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Congrats to the Houston Cheaters on their win

[td_ice]

Questionable fair call, and misplay by Newman knock Quintana out of game.

3-3

 

[ImporterExporter]

Wow, Chavis has had some really big hits this year.

 

[td_ice]

Brewers take lead, 4-3.....

But Pirates answer back, Chavis, with a homer off a righty, 4-4.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Really bad bottom of the 5th.

I don't understand why they can't do a French Open chalk line thing. It's not hard. Ball's probably foul.

Then IMO the ball dropping in is on Reynolds. As the CF if you have a play on the ball - he clearly did - call the guys off.

I don't understand Shelton not putting Suwinski in for Castillo there also.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Good lord I think that was his most ridiculous hit yet.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Wow, Cruz's power is just absurd. Looked like he barely tried and 440.

 

[td_ice]

That's crazy, Trevor Gott's pitching follow through/style resembles Jim Gott's. (No relation)

Cruuuuuuuz missile!!!

That smooth swing.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

This is the old school way to beat Milwaukee in Milwaukee: hit tons of HRs.

Let's hope the bullpen can nail it down. This has been a good series regardless, but it would be really nice to take it.

Yeah, i thought he should've called off Newman.

Given what happened yesterday, we'll need YDLS and maybe Beede.

 

[ImporterExporter]

These f***ing leadoff doubles.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Yeah we're gonna need some more runs to pull this off it looks like. I don't trust just about anyone vs. Adames the rest of the game.

[ImporterExporter]

Wow, great work there by Manny B.

Reynolds pulled????

 

[ImporterExporter]

He's not hurt....I just don't get it, unless we missed something earlier in the game. If he's traded, it had better he a massive haul.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Underwood has been nasty since coming back. Intriguing.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Saw people saying on twitter that his wife is pregnant and due next month in terms of potential off field stuff. Definitely seems kinda weird.



edit: seems like good news on the trade front at least

 

[td_ice]

Banuelos takes care of the 6th, and Underwood the 7th.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Lmao it's gotta be a coincidence but Marcelo Mayer was also just pulled from a minor league game.

DJ's scouting report on Cruz's defense has shown to be spot on.

Yep. I like that DJ really hammered that home. A lot of us were too dismissive. It's early but fielding wise he's been great. Throwing needs some seasoning in terms of accuracy but I think that will improve over time.

Thought I saw Reynolds wince a bit in his 5th inning at bat? Possibly.
