Joe Kelly, still dumb as a bag of rocks.

Story should bat 5th.

 

Absolutely.

Dugo and his .580 OPS should be dropped down the order until he finds his stroke

This is why i said we would have saved some of those runs yesterday for today. Need to win this tonight.

 

This type of thing gets said a lot. Do people really believe this type of thing is possible?

Rob Manfred is probably open to suggestions in that area if it'll make more money somehow...

Why didn't Story just hit a few of his HR's earlier in the season in a tie ballgame?

Apparently Cora needs to convince LaRussa to hold back the bullpen pitchers we can hit so they can be used in subsequent games.

 

Back to reality - there is a strategic reason to pile on runs, especially in the first game of a series. It can force a team to burn through their bullpen, which actually can help in later games…

Manfred is working on a plan to use baseballs where the seam height gets higher as the score differential increases…

Ah, but doesn't the offense also get tired from running around so much?

That’s why home runs are so important. No one gets tired from trotting…

Great streak, however. So you have our thanks.

 

I personally and probably stupidly think a big score today/tonight usually leads to a lot less hitting the next day/night. It could be from running the bases or maybe losing focus on swing mechanics.

Only Gabe Kapler. Tired and sometimes injured.

I didn't do anything.

 

I did have a mild panic attack at 8:45 last night thinking that I didn't make the gamethread.
