8/21 Beat the Astors
- Thread starter Curt S Loew
- Start date
The chaser to this will be when Cora pulls a starter later this series at 75 pitches and like 2 hits allowed.
Bullpen management, much like infield drills, just isn't something you can practice on a day to day basis.
If bloom can trade Fleming, I won’t complain about personnel moves for a full season
This game feels like one of those sloppy, back-and-forth type affairs. I know it looks dire but I'm going to stick around awhile and watch the carnage or the glory.
Another inning managed with a lack of urgency, much like the last Seattle game. I still get the feeling the front office thinks this team isn't going anywhere.
After Sunday's win, he's been in the clubhouse the whole game to respect the streak.
He didn't charge that ball on the potential double play either. Not sure if he could have pulled off the DP but it looked a little lazy.
MLB.tv keeps running this commercial with this child giggling like the giant alien kid playing with the human dolls in that one Twilight Zone episode.
This is going to be 14-5 by the time we're done. Llovera probably goes 3+ innings because who cares, he'll be DFA'ed tomorrow anyway.
Here’s my Will Fleming impression:
“The 2-1… and that’s a BASE HIT UP THE MIDDLE. THIS ONE’S GONNA BE CLOSE. THE SECOND BASEMAN HAS IT. HE THROWS TO FIRST.. aAAANND… Wow. Wow! You know, we talk about how important it is for a first baseman to do the little things, and that play really illustrates that point.”
Meanwhile I’m screaming at my fucking radio, “JUST TELL ME IF HE WAS SAFE OR OUT, ASSHOLE!”

“…and he gets credit for the single, does Duvall.”
just say “Duvall gets the single,” you Stanford snob
I fucking hate umpires. Like, if we meet on the street, don't tell me you are an umpire. I will punch you in the nose. And I have never punched anyone in anger in my life.
I don’t think the ump has been as bad tonight but there have been two really bad strike calls one against Story and one against Duvall earlier that really impacted the at bats.
