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

[ImporterExporter]

The OF's have been incredible this series defensively. Seriously, wanted to mention that.

Did Brown just say "zip-zip kazoo"?

What a finish there by Stratton. A lot of pitchers look uncomfortable making that throw to 2nd and he aced it smoothly.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Great job by Stratton to field that grounder and start the double play.

Seems like such an easy play, but how often do pitchers screw up that throw to 2nd?

 

[ImporterExporter]

Marcano has some wheels.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

What a crazy series in just about every way.

Chavis is another under the radar plus from Cherington.

 

[td_ice]

This has been a fun series, to say the least.

 

[dogthateats]

This series is great and all, but it will be interesting to see how we look against some real teams

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

So this is what it feels like to be a Brewers fan when the Pirates play the Brewers.

 

[dogthateats]

Raise it!

 

[ImporterExporter]

RAISE IT!!!!!

Bucs first sweep in LA in 22 years.
LA has not been swept in a 3 game series at home since 2018.

Fantastic showing from so many.

Chavis is another under the radar plus from Cherington.

He did draft him in Boston

 

[ChaosAgent]

Legitimately shocked and surprised. The bullpen, Castro, Marcano...most importantly Reynolds coming alive in a big way. I keep on forgetting De Jong exists and then he puts up functional outings.

Castro just has an absurd amount of swagger. Huge BDE about that kid. Yeah I said it.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Well that was fun. If they claw back to .500 Freak Show talk has to start up

 

[ChaosAgent]

This is really the merger of the interesting, not-quite-top prospect group of hitters into the ML team. At this point it's the Curve/Indy/Pirates. All that's missing is Martin to platoon with Chavis, Cruz and Bae.

Pitching-wise, Quintana gives you a chance. Brubaker going strong. Thompson competitive. Roansy obviously. And a couple horses out of the pen. LFG.

The entire league seems to be immensely amused by this series lol

 

[ImporterExporter]

This was honestly my favorite defensive play of the night. Incredible pick, and the awareness to know he had a legitimate shot at third base, then executing a spin/throw on the money. If Castillo can incorporate a bit more patience and defensive swings into his repertoire, he has a shot to be a regular.

Heineman needs to be more consistent all around. Seems like he’s constantly trading good and bad plays.

Yu Chang’s shown next to nothing worth talking about. I feel like he’s playing too much

Pretty frustrating Yajure’s completely fallen apart. One more strong rotation guy would do wonders for the pitching makeup of this team.

If Cruz would give up SS maybe he’d be up playing RF rn instead of Yu Chang (who’s shown next to nothing worth talking about).

Where's Kranick at? I think he could be a functional #5.

Injury updates, FYI. Looks like good news all around. Knock on wood.
