  1. Benintendi needs to lay one down to start the 3rd. Get someone on with no one out instead of 2 outs.
  2. Vazquez has to drop that stand up on 0-2; it fools no one and seems to make the pitch no competitive
  3. Johnson screwed up royally by hitting for Jim Willoughby with 2 out in the bottom of the 8th. Willoughby had been untouchable to that point. My 17 year old self said it at the time and my 60 year old self still does.
  4. I thought it was a routine fly to Mookie.
  5. They didn’t but I would have said no; he’s been too good defensively tonight.
  6. So who pitches the 8th? I’m guessing Wright?
  7. Not much Cora can do; all of them look scared.
  8. I’d rather see a base hit than a walk; at least there’s a chance it’s hit at someone if it’s in play
  9. Depends on if it’s Britton or Betances.
  10. Kimbrel is horrible when going more than 1.
  11. Johnson never should have hit for Willoughby in Game 7 in 1975
  12. Boone overmanaging; love it.
  13. Your d-money imitation could use some work.
  14. Fastball command not great and throwing way too many pitches. They are not going to chase. Hopefully he can get through the next couple in 10-12 pitches per inning.
  15. CRAP. Thunderstorm hitting at exactly the wrong moment here in western Illinois has my TBS feed out for now. Hope it clears in the next 20 minutes.
  16. True, but your team remains the only one ever in MLB history to blow a 3-0 lead in a 7 game series (and really it was a 3.88 to 0 lead). So you got that going for you.
  17. I'm hard pressed to think of a collapse greater than that of the 1964 Phiilies, who blew a 6 1/2 game lead with 12 to play.
  18. Yep. Then the winners move on to the NLDS while the losers play Tuesday in the NL Wild Card Game with the winner of that starting the NLDS on Thursday. Crazy week with lots of potential travel for one team.
  19. Yes, he challenged the 4th run on whether the runner touched the plate and lost (borderline call but likely not enough to overturn). Swihart dropped the throw for the next run (runner had been called out). Sox could have been out of that inning only 3 runs down with a break and a play.
  20. What do the Orioles' have in return? He's not going to get you much.
  21. No idea, but it fools absolutely no one. He stands up so early that hitters know it's coming, and it is almost never a competitive pitch (just out of the zone). It's a ball from the moment it leaves the pitcher's hand, therefore it isn't even setting something else up. Leon calls for those pitches, but he usually just lifts the target a little higher rather than standing up. What I don't get it there is nothing sacred about using the glove as the target. A pitcher can throw to a knee or a shoulder or a whatever. All that's required is that the catcher knows that's where it's going.
  22. I'm worried; Sale is topping out at around 92-93, he's not throwing very many fastballs and his command is not that good. Hopefully the second inning shows a little more.
  23. Game off; you’re going to see a lot of odd line ups the final 4 games. Probably a spring training type atmosphere where the regulars will get an at bat or 2 a game and then the reserves take over as much as possible.
