And it's not just lack of talent. 

They play terrible baseball too. 

I firmly believe a better manager has them 10 games better.

Fruit, low-hanging, picked.

I'm ready for this game to be over already...I feel like I need a shower after just watching it.

I don't think the Bally's box is accurate.  The high edge is below the belt and the inside/outside edges are barely on the black.  Most umpires are gonna give a half to full ball on those edges.

I can't imagine Bally's is spending a lot on the strike zone production assistant.  They don't seem to be adjusting it hitter to hitter.

Can they both get an error on that

Yes.

Both Falvey and Levine get an error for Richards.

[USAFChief]

Winnah.

[Tlaker]

Winner

[IndyTwinsFan]

Glad that's finally over.

[Parfigliano]

Hey...easy now. Richards has one of the best 55 ft curveballs I've seen in a long time.

This weekend was a classic case of a thank goodness we were playing this team because the hitting was brutal on Friday night (until the 8th) but because it was the Sox and Ryan was pitching, there wasn't any consternation.  Today was a horrid pitching effort all the way through the lineup (except for Okert's one batter, amazingly) but because it's the Sox, there wasn't much of a worry because the hitting was working.  Enjoy the sweep and now let's take out the other Chicago team.

Meanwhile, how have the Guards lost 5 games to this outfit?

[BH67]

390 pitches.

Still nice to see Dobnak pitch in the majors again.

Richards and Dobnak inspire zero confidence but whatever.

True, but I'm not convinced he's a MLB caliber pitcher.

On a good day!  I use to have this killer baseball swing slice.  Now 80% of the time I over correct and pull the **** out of it.   It's a fickle game.

I think he's probably the definition of a AAAA arm.  He earned the promotion, but probably never an arm you can trust on in a tight spot.

Agree completely.  Happy that he likely got to live out his boyhood dream, however.

I don't think Topa even exists...somebody just made the guy up to make it look like we got another player in that deal. 

Fair Point !!!!!!!

A very long 9 innings. My VCR cassette ran out of tape recording this game.
