I have a feeling we will be revisiting that top of the 3rd later on

Well, opportunity lost.  However: 

Foltynewicz has thrown 62 pitches in 2 innings.

So...lead off single, two wild pitches and a passed ball and 0 runs?!?!?!

 

That seems almost impossible to achieve.

C'mon guys, neither of our "RBI" guys, Plouffe & Vargas, can hit a fly ball to get the runner in from third? Players need to know how to get these runs in!

Plouffe got a runner in in the first, so yes, I think he knows how.

So about that shaky Gibson..

Bleh. There goes the lead.

And boom, tie game. Team needs to get these runners in when given the chance.

I bet you didn't think it would be so soon.

So it goes.

 

Are you pretending to be Dave now?

I've had about enough of Kyle. Guy hardly ever seems to have a clean inning. I know he had that doozy of a game in Boston, but he's been brutal lately.

Maybe, but all he needed was to hit a flyball and and he would have gotten another one. Kind of a gimme, just go get it.

I keep coming back to this, re Gibson:  "hittable."

Gibson has gone less than 6 full innings in 8 of 15 starts. Not looking good to make 6 here.

That took entirely too long. Ridiculous

Geeez ...

Right. Easy as that. We all can do that.

Gah. Even a #5 pitcher needs to be able to control a game like this against the worst offense in baseball. Especially when you're handed an early lead and your offense is threatening to pile on for you. Just put up a relatively clean 7 innings and your bullpen and rest of the team relax for once.

Well ... I can tell the way this thread is going ... waaaa waaaa waaaa ...

 

Later.

Right. Easy as that. We all can do that.

I did that in beer league softball once. Highlight of my life!

Try to imagine the twins building a new park in 2030. Essentially the braves are doing that now

Let's see if the offense can outdo themselves this inning.

 

Take that in whichever direction you want.

 

Right. Easy as that. We all can do that.

We don't get paid to do that, he does. But at least he put it in play, right?

FTFY

I am not a baseball expert, but bunting might not be Gibsons forte?

Pitching may not be either, it seems

Based on the guys around him, it's not as though he's got a lot of good examples to learn from.

So I got here late, caught up on TiVo, and in the first three defensive innings we have missed two backhand GB's, and did not block a low ball with a guy on first. The low ball was a garden variety ball right in front of Centeno. I don't know whether the two grounders could have been turned into outs, but both should have been fielded. Our defense up the middle is cr*p!
