Yes, but I'm afraid I'm now at my Witt's end.

[ashbury]

Farmer is just nails.

[Mike Sixel]

I appear to have been wrong about Maeda moving to two inning RP. He's been great so far as a starter. Really impressive.

Just smoked the Dodgers, 2-1 in a series in LA. Heard this on Olney's podcast.

Dave Roberts:  "Those guys just outplayed us. It’s a different brand of baseball as far as putting the ball in play, hitting behind runners, stealing bases. They were excellent in situational hitting. To be quite honest, we couldn’t keep up, and that’s how they won this series. But as far as overall, I don’t know the answer to that.”

We don't appreciate how really good our starting pitchers are.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Oh boy, Wintergreen is struggling.

Wouldn’t that mean you are finally wittless?

Wittless from here on, you're saying

 

/ edit - ninja'd.  As expected.

I think just about 99% of TD was

[Schmoeman5]

Whatever the mound discussion just was, I'm pretty sure the coach didn't say. Obtw. Hit Farmer

[Mike Sixel]

Painful to watch this KC pitcher just lose it. And he's just going to stay out there....

Or just can't get out  of the way of an inside pitch.

Who ninja’d you, baby?

[Mike Sixel]

Grooving pitch after pitch to Vazquez. I don't think our C can hit....

[stringer bell]

Vázquez. Well somebody had to make the third out.

Right there with you.  Happy to be wrong about it.

Maybe so, but at least I didn't get ninja'd by Squirrel.

Or refuses to change his game in the face of adversity.

Perhaps that's why they were so disinterested with bringing him on as another assistant hitting coach?

That's pretty good, should run an 8.9 100 meters, about there with Usain Bolt.

But who's counting?

Wittless is not the same as Happless, which is probably more my lot in all this.

Did Miranda get hurt, or replaced for other reasons? Was on a walk....

I’d rather get Pagán’d this way, though
