How in the world are we going to fill  6 more innings of pitching?

We just need Megill to get 2 outs per pitch for another couple innings.

[rwilfong86]

Gary decided to show up tonight

[MadHits]

that'll do

Seems plausible.  

Is this part of @Squirrel's theory?

[Shaitan]

Megill has earned the W stat so far.

[Schmoeman5]

Is Baldelli managing KC too

[Mill1634]

The lady is not happy with the pace of play tonight.

 

Can't say she is alone.

Mrs Chief often had issues with my, um...pace of play as well.

10 runs in 4 innings makes for a snails pace

10 runs can happen fairly quickly.  It's 25 pitches without an out that'll kill ya.

I've said this in regards to every sport:

Replay should be looked at in real speed only, with no alterations to the camera angle/zoom. The reviewing official should get a max of 3 looks at the play. If they are not confident after 3 looks, then the call stays as was called on the field. Replay was not meant to make games pause by 3-5 minutes at a time. This is true in every single sport. Mistakes are part of the game whether it's a player, coach, or umpire.

I suspect there's an issue with Ober. Velo was off quite a bit.

Stop with the logic and assumption of reasonable intent..

I feel ya but overall I just want them to get it right.

[Schmoeman5]

And a shutdown inning too? Wow! Things are looking up

I want them to get it right too, but we allow balls and strikes to be miscalled all the time with no way to challenge them. Until that changes, I am in favor of what I proposed.

Listen up pal and listen good...I've been accused of many things here but YOU'RE OVER THE LINE!!1!

MOAR RUNS

[USAFChief]

Megill get another inning?

No. He's doing too good

And that's being logical and reasonable

[USAFChief]

Gladden: "Salvador Perez might be back this weekend. He could catch. Or maybe not"

[USAFChief]

Uh oh. 

[Mill1634]

This umpire has been fairly good on the corners but then just....doesn't call strikes clearly over the plate.
