    Obesity is way better for one’s health!

    Lackadaisical side-arm inconsistent floaters to first. Begging for something bad to happen.
  3. h2oface
    Add every distracting Audra bit! And those even step all over the game action.

    What’s the point of switch hitting if you can’t hit on both sides? At least they got a run for Joe. Make that 2.
  5. h2oface
    Ryan getting his usual run support. How about some, bats!
  6. h2oface
    Buxton scores from 3rd, too, if Brooks Lee’s back foot doesn’t get nicked.

    Tied for the last wild card! Take a picture of the standings. Maki: “With Kendry, we have a very specific roadmap for how we're handling his build-up. Coming off the hamstring issue early on, we committed to a four-day schedule. Because he's throwing on shorter rest, we are intentionally keeping him in that 45-to-60 pitch window. You saw it against Houston—he gave us 4.0 brilliant, scoreless innings on just 46 pitches, and we took him right out. We're not going to push him past that ceiling right now. It's about preserving the quality of that 97 MPH fastball and making sure he stays healthy for the long haul." Today was the 5th day since starting on May 18. He was at 45 pitches/3.0 innings today.

    Right. Based on pitching every 4th day. Today was the 5th day since starting on May 18. He was at 45 today.

    Well, Rojas is 23 and Morris is 24. So does it then follow Shelton showed lack of confidence in the younger of the two by pulling Rojas and replacing with Morris? I don’t think Shelton is that deep. I do believe he hopes for Morris to be better. 3 walks, a hit, and an earned run while getting 2 outs and leaving with the bases loaded and going with the now struggling 35 yr old journeyman vet to escape the tragedy impending is not so scripted.

    Glad I can still disappoint your standards.

    Well , that is at least half of this pen. Yet, on the roster and forced to be used. Rojas started and went 46 pitches in 4 innings 5 days ago. Pulled at 45 today after 3. I don’t pull him to start the 9th. If he is limited at 50, (assumption), I at least give him the first batter. The pen is a total risk at any point. Tragedy narrowly averted. Perfect decision with hindsight.

    Lucky star!

    Horrible decision to pull Rojas. Know your pen. Rogers is getting blasted all year. Too late now. The hole is being dug.
  14. h2oface
    Even less……
  15. h2oface
    Arcia - smooth.
  16. h2oface
    SWR would be my last choice in this pen for any outing.
  17. h2oface
    I still don’t like it even more, now.
  18. h2oface
    Rojas is a starter. Piggybacked. I don’t risk the rest of the (unreliable, better lately) pen when Rojas is dealing. But they will. I don’t like it.
  19. h2oface
    I hate that strikeout rule more than than any other rule in baseball. The batter has already struck out. Yet, the play is not over. I get the foul tip. But rewarding a batter for swinging at a pitch not even close is disgusting.
  20. h2oface
    Amazing how bad they are with the bases loaded. Like watching Margot pinch hit.

    Lee avoids the Sombrero
  22. h2oface
    Immediate disintegration by Orze. Classic.

    2022 MLB draft. #8. Brooks Lee #47. Connor Prielipp #63. Jacob Misiorowski
  24. h2oface
    True. But that doesn’t fit the bill of Hero, That is for the 9th. And the best player on your roster. Nothing else in the game matters at that point. Even the two previous doubles. No past. Just present. The score could be 10-9 instead of 2-1. Same opportunity. Even if Buxton had an o-fer for the night, THIS is his moment to come through, poetically. Down one, tying run on third, winning run on second, two outs. The last out. The light is all shining on your star, who was destined to be the one player at bat. Sigh.
  25. h2oface
    Just a single when the game is on the line. That’s what makes a best player great.
