OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Dull days of July

[BusinessGoose]

There's a good double, that's what we're looking from IKF

 

[BusinessGoose]

And de la cruz gets him home... Let's go new guys!

 

[ImporterExporter]

Great 1st frame!

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Nice to see IKF get that hit. Part of me was/is a bit worried about the shorter/nonexistent rehab leaving him with bad timing or something, so hopefully this helps him hit the ground running.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Wow nice pick off

 

[Ugene Magic]

Wow nice pick off

It saved a run.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Our second broadside has scored too... 2-0 now

IKF getting more!!! 4-0

 

[WickedWrister]

Diamondbacks OF apparently can't judge fly balls for shit

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Good inning from Skenes, no K's, but a 1,2,3 inning.

I don't love how we've let the DBacks hang around after the big inning. Skenes is in control, but unless he pulls off something pretty insane in the 6th, it's probably his last inning and I assume Chapman is unavailable.

I hate the thought of going to Holderman in a game like this. Nicolas pitched two innings last night, but Bednar should be available. I'd be looking at Stratton and I am not sure who else. Maybe Beeks with all the lefties.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

And just like that, leadoff triple.

The one inning offense thing seems to be happening again

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Holderman in, I have no idea why we wouldn't try for one more with Stratton. I guess maybe we'll attempt to use Beeks in the 8th, unless we are going to go with Chapman on a third straight day which sounds extremely stressful.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Dude, holderman getting strikes called balls isn't helping

Aw shit, here we goooo

 

[OnMyOwn]

I can’t stand holderman. I’ll say it every time this dude pitches.

 

[PartyatMarios]

Yay

 

[BusinessGoose]

Yup. Figures. Losing.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Skenes must hate his teammates so much.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Holderman sucks

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Get the **** off this team Holderman.

 

[wheelz87]

playing with fire the entire ****** game.
wake the **** up and score in more than one inning offense.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Absolutely f***ing brutal.

I have defended Shelton over and over again. I don't care that the bullpen is taxed. That probably just cost us the game, and by extension, maybe more.

Unreal decision. Unreal. Holderman is absolute trash.
