    GET READY IN THE PEN, NOT IN THE GAME!!!!!
  2. h2oface
    rally!!!!!
  3. h2oface
    That was an expensive double play.
  4. h2oface
    No way they had bar codes in the 40s.....
  5. h2oface
    The Donaldson "error" could cast Berrios another inning.
  6. h2oface
    Donaldson defense.
  7. h2oface
    The lead off walk scores and the lead off double is stranded at second. Just not fair. One could even say it is foul.
  8. h2oface
    There goes the shutout....
  9. h2oface
    there goes the no-hitter.

    Yup. Looks like the ulna to me, too. I'm betting as an armchair doctor that has had a complete break of the right ulna mid shaft plated, and then a second non-union surgery a year and a half later with allograft and electrical stimulation that created alternating reverse magnetic polarites that I wore as a cuff.... and subsequent removal of plate a year ago after 28 years (many never have it removed, but it was starting to bother soft tissue and doesn't need to be there anymore)..... that it will need immobilized, but will not need a plate embedded, and will heal pretty well with no future problems, especially with his age - still younger than 26.

    Now can we get to Chicago? The pitching staff better not be giving up 13 hits in 9 innings to Chicago. This is exciting! While I hope Eddie is OK, it could be an opening, finally, for another spark from the farm.... like Kirilloff (one r, two L's, and two f's)! This type of collision in the outfield now is really frustrating. I mean, it's not like there is too much noise to hear someone calling for the ball, and if they aren't calling for it...... WHY NOT!
  12. h2oface
    Not much info about the injury yet. Whether it is the Ulna or Radius is a big difference. While the Ulna is the non weight bearing of the pair, it can be slower to heal. Heezy? This looks like a minor fracture impact to me. Certainly not a total separation, so no plate needed.

    Lindor needs a smack in the face? I doubt it. Baseball players can be the biggest posers there are. They charge out of the dugouts over nothing. They act like they want to fight like a jr high school kid, but they really don't. And then fans act like they are tough, and talk tough, like they should be in a silly school yard fight. Nothing is going to happen if the two just jaw at each other, and no one is going to protect or "have their back" by coming out of the dugout and pushing each other away from some place they don't even need to be. Always the dumbest and silliest thing that happens in baseball.

    Another double header coming up. Oh joy. Another bullpen game.
  15. h2oface
    Bieber crushed us on July 30 and pitched 8 innings of 3 hit shutout ball with 13 Ks, and beat Berrios, who pitched 5 and only gave up a 2 run homer (and Littell andThorpe actually pitched 2 innings each and didn't give up a single run! amazing!) We had Bieber beat that last game on August 25. He was behind 2-1 when he pitched his last pitch of the game and left the mound after the top of the 6th. Alcala came in and wasted Hill's perhaps best outing and gave up a single, homer, walk and a double, and gives Bieber the 4-2 victory and snatches it away from Hill. Poppen even pitched 2 innings of shutout ball to close the game. 4 hits and 10 Ks.... If Maeda is sharp, and someone in the bullpen doesn't flail, we could take this game. A DH and pitcher square off in the MVP sprint, and so far.... Cruz is 0-6 with 2 ground outs and a fly out the first game, and 3 swinging strikeouts the second game.

    Not our .400 hitter!!!!!
  17. h2oface
    I totally disagree. Jeffers is there because he CAN catch the ball, which Astudillo seems to struggle with no matter where he plays on the field, and especially behind the plate. Astudillo should be offered up at the virtual gift shop as a novelty.
  18. h2oface
    I don't know why they let these two make up double headers happen, and so close to each other. And then 2 days off. Goofy. I don't care if there was a day less rest for Dobnak. That never stopped the pitchers in the 60s and 70s from performing, and all season in a 4 man rotation. Sandy Koufax pitched game 7 against us in the 1965 Series on 2 - at the end of a 162 game season! Right. Dobnak, and nobody, is Koufax. That's not the point, Captains Obvious. There is never an excuse for the HBP walk HBP walk sequence (right, Baldelli!). 2 of the last 3 outings signal the beginning of the end of the smoke and mirrors around Dobnak. I sure hope the Maeda, Berrios, Pineda trio is backed by an improving Hill, and not Dobnak, in the playoffs. I don't even know if Odorizzi will be around. Pretty bummed he is absent virtually all season.
  19. h2oface
    That was a crap set of pitches to Carpenter. And a .150 hitter against lefties...
  20. h2oface
    The smoke and mirrors is coming to an end for Dobnak. I'm surprised it has lasted as long as it has. He's no Scott Diamond, eh?
  21. h2oface
    So I guess that means you didn't hear her, eh? Let it rip.
  22. h2oface
    Astudillo looks like he is wincing just before he catches every pitch now. He has not clue, it seems, where the ball is going.
  23. h2oface
    That was a great pitch by Berrios that Edman homered on. Pretty lucky stroke by Edman.
  24. h2oface
    6 inches outside and a MLB umpire calls it a strike. Not even close. How do they keep their jobs?

    "Triston McKenzie has come up and been very impressive. The supplemental first-round pick in 2015 is 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in 16 innings over his three MLB starts this year. He has 19 walks strikeouts and four strikeouts walks." FTFY
