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

[ImporterExporter]

What an awful 0-2 pitch by Urias to Chavis.

Like Bednar's 0-2 last night to Turner. Needed to get that up another foot.

Honestly though, battling these teams out west is a great thing for our young guns. We've actually got the better of the pitching matchup tomorrow so another W tonight would be amazing.

But again, with Keller we'd need at least 8 tonight for me to think we'll have a shot. Hope he proves me wrong.

Marcano really seeing the ball well damn

Marcano!!!

I got great vibes last week when I saw him at Altoona and he's clearly in the zone. That ball was tattooed to dead center.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

This team gets rolled every time they play the Reds but go to Dodgers Stadium and suddenly they are murderers row.

Go figure.

Go figure.

Winning another series against them would be comical to be sure.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Keller getting the tough outs despite the fleeting command. Props. Can he get back through the lineup without getting tagged?

Let's get 2 more to make me feel better!

 

[DanielPlainview]

Smack around Urias, get blanked by some no name soft tosser

 

[ImporterExporter]

Damn, first time we've not got the big hit. Come on Keller.

Also, Chang? Just call up Martin or Cruz. There is no super 2 worry now.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Just take the easy out. Yikes. Could have been a disaster.

Well shit. 4-2.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Just no command. It's that simple with Mitch.

 

[ChaosAgent]

This game feels familiar.

Chang (eek) and Suwinski bombing at bases loaded in the 4th, and also the conservative base running with Chavis, loom large.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Some really ugly ABs tonight

 

[ChaosAgent]

It is give up the ghost time with Keller.

Maybe let him take an extended time in the pen, but he has absolutely no idea where the baseball is going.

Contrary to what defeatists say, the team will most definitely have 5 better options than Keller. The likes of Kranick, Thompson, Peters, random $3M FAs will be better options.

 

[ImporterExporter]

That was Kellers best pitch of the season.

 

[ChaosAgent]

That was the most Mitch Keller strikeout ever. He missed his spot by 2 feet and the ump made an outstanding call - the zone and not the frame.

Great call, Ump. Genuinely.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Throws an inning ending elite located fastball that was in no way supposed to be there haha.

I don't see how people can't see the massive command issues he has.

Props for grinding that outing out and he's in line for a deserved win, but 5 walks, so many fat pitches the Dodgers missed?

Let's grind the back half of this game and take the series.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Yank him he’s got nothing

 

[ImporterExporter]

Unreal. I was just going to post how great Heineman was tonight.

Brutal.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Suwinski!!! What a defensive play.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Announcers talking like Stratton is going to finish it out.

Is Crowe injured/unavailable?

 

[ImporterExporter]

After that inning, give him the 9th. I think Crowe is being rested BTW.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Nevermind. Crowe warming up.

Heineman having himself a night other than the passed ball.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Reynolds you beaut!!!

 

[ImporterExporter]

Suwinski has been damn good in RF. Huge huge catch.

 

[DanielPlainview]

I guess beating up on the Dodgers makes up some for the ineptitude against the Reds
