7/30 vs Phillies

[d-money]

I don’t like thornburg pitching here. Throw strikes

[jung]

I really wonder if the launch angle swing has done a lot to make the Change such an effective pitch. Now they are throwing it all over the place. LHers never used to throw Changes to LH batters and now even that is a common occurrence.

[Station 13]

Correct, watched it the whole way

 

Pitchers are stealing it at will. THey know he will spit on the offering.

[vegasbob]

Can JDM go over the wall in the 9th ? Time for him to win it.

[Sox75]

Thornburg is FLAT OUT NASTY

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, booth, please don't praise him into failure.

[vegasbob]

and Leon really screwed up yet another inning.

 

For a guy who specializes in rollovers, where was he ?

[Spudboy]

Out!!!!!

[FredLynn]

He is out!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He's ouuuuuuuuuut!

[d-money]

Will the BP blow another game?

[jung]

That is a heck of a play by Holt

[vegasbob]

For a guy who specializes in rollovers, where was he ?

 

He was throwing out the runner, and Holt made a great play too

[Sox75]

great throw!

 

Great play by Brock Holt!

[d-money]

The only good thing is that we likely won’t see nola the rest of this game.

[Spudboy]

This is much like a playoff game.

 

Great pitching and a few exciting plays thrown in to spice it up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice tag by Holt. Cora, please keep playing Holt at 2nd until he can't.

[vegasbob]

I don’t like thornburg pitching here. Throw strikes

 

You'd be wrong in this instance. No one else in that pen specializes in strikes except Brasier. They do get the outs but it's like pulling teeth

[vegasbob]

looking for JDM to bail out all the non-hitting guys tonight

[Sox75]

Thornburg could be BP THE STORY of the second half?

 

You forget just how good he was . . . . IS......

[Sox75]

W w w w what? Walk?

[Station 13]

Just slap it down left field

[vegasbob]

With that shift on Moreland, he must try the bunt towards 3rd at least once

[Sox75]

Ughhhhhh! Ly

[vegasbob]

With that shift on Moreland, he must try the bunt towards 3rd at least once

 

F' it Mitch

[vegasbob]

Damn useless situational hitting tactics Top 5 hitters 0-19 with one walk that did nothing. Now deep in the order (who have all the 4 hits) for the 10th

[jung]

Kid was not going to show XB 99 unless he had him at 2 strikes. That is why hitting a baseball is such a ridiculously hard thing to do. Nobody gives you break.

[Sox75]

F' it Mitch

 

Should have pinch hit ...... for him

[Station 13]

Kimbrel? Where is he?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-man is hitting .275 and that will be his average at the end of the season. He will end up with @90RBI. Combine that with his fine defense and it will be a very good year for him.
