Going to be a long night for the bullpens I think.

[Jax]

Whew

[IndianaTwin]

 

Gold is just the windy Kansas wheat fields. Blue is just the Kansas summer sky...

 

That's what my uncle told me. 

[Jax]

Can't we just pitch Berrios every game???

[David HK]

Whew, that was a heck of a strikeout. Not only timely, but according to gameday, it made Gonzalez' BA drop 11 points.

[PDX Twin]

Mejia has a two-inning no-hitter.

 

But he may only make it through four at this rate!

[Circus Boy]

 

Did he listen to ya?

Nah. But he is pitching a no-hitter. /jinx on/

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Note to Mejia: Don't walk guys hitting .174. That is all.

  

I can't take the crap...

Got no problem with this juxtaposition...

 

But if things work out a bit messily, i hope we brought a little baggy as a containment measure.

This is how I do it

 

Dear Mejia,

 

Please don't walk guys hitting .174

 

Sincerely,

Am I the one who thinks this lead is safe if we can just get to the bullpen?  As bad as the bullpen is it's way better then starters 3-5.

[Jerr]

 

Wait, I thought this game started at 7:10... well, I won't complain with a 4-0 lead.

Good thing you weren't pitching for us...as we need all that show up.....

[yarnivek1972]

8 outs. 5 walks. Not good.

 

Edit: Dammit Hawk. Stole my post.

The bullpen will be necessary tonight.

 

Good News though,,, Sano isn't in the ineup and the last time Sano wasn't in the lineup... we scored 20 runs. 

[Jerr]

5 walks???????? Already???????

Can't believe he has a shutout going.

[yarnivek1972]

Can't believe he has a shutout going.

No hitter too...

[Jerr]

In just 3 innings of pitching?  

[PDX Twin]

 

5 walks???????? Already???????

 

Maybe he should mix in a couple of hit batters. You know, just to save on pitches relative to having a 3-2 count on everyone.

[yarnivek1972]

Trevor Bauer is Jorge Polanco's b****.

[mikecgrimes]

 

No hitter too...

 

And as close as you can get to a perfect game with 5 walks and an error

[Jerr]

Or, the new intentional walk, saving more pitches 

[ashbury]

No hitter too...

What's the over-under how much longer it lasts, now that you've jinxed it?

[spinowner]

 

 the Platte river 

Too thick to drink, too thin to plow.

Chisenhall makes it quick.

[PDX Twin]

 

Chisenhall makes it quick.

 

Should have thrown ball three. Hittable pitch with only two balls ... he was asking for it!

[mikecgrimes]

 

Chisenhall makes it quick.

 

Still pretty close to a perfect game though

[spinowner]

 

I think it's time to wear the road uniforms at home.

And let the other team bat in the bottom of the innings.

[ashbury]

Still pretty close to a perfect game though

[yarnivek1972]

Is anyone warming up? Mejia is at 90 pitches.

[ashbury]

Still pretty close to a perfect game though
