Great way to start the weekend though I wish I didn't get heart palpitations when Duran comes in!

 

Been off forum for awhile due to some pretty severe personal issues(House burned down being one of several)but glad to be back on here.

Ditto with the hopes that the bad issues recede in the rear view mirror soon.

Flawed pitchers vs. Flawed pitchers. 

Score could now wind up 7 to 5 or something, after a 6 innings of a pitcher's duel.

You forgot about all the flawed batters these two clubs can throw at you😉.

Well, I take back what I said, at least for tonight. Neither side's bullpen collapsed, it really was a pitcher's duel decided by a single run, off the bat of an excellent hitter. 

Skol to the starting pitcher, another stingy outing for Bailey Ober!

Blizzard winners!

It's almost as if the way they make the outs is less important than the frequency with which they do.

The way outs are made is important.  Very important.  K's do nothing to help only hurt.  Ground outs and flyouts can move runners....even score them.  K's kill offense.

Baily Ober.  "Long may his butterfly net wave."
