I could have sworn I heard David Bowie's Heroes playing in the background for Dozier's at bat. Dozier must hot have heard it. 

You must have missed the game yesterday.

You really haven't notice that tendency this year? You must have missed more than yesterday's game.

I don't want to overstate the importance here, but this is a gigantic at bat

I'm sure Molitor and the front office pitching gurus know this - but maybe not

I'm sure they know it. But it kinda defies conventional wisdom. I know he's not an extreme sidearmer like Tekulve, Eichhorn or Frohwirth, but those guys all killed RHB.

I wonder if Ervin leads the league in leads lost by the bullpen. We would have about 20 wins if the bullpen had closed out all the leads he left them.

 

Wow. Really didn't think that bases loaded screw up would matter, as the Padres have checked out.

We don't deserve to make the playoffs if we drop games like this one.

 

I seem to remember that you have already claimed many times, that we won't.  Already. Is this your veiled attempt at hope?

Attaboy Booze.

 

 

Errr....Buse.

To be fair, one run barely qualifies for run support

Lol, I've been saying this all year.

 

Partly trolling guys like you. But, they have had a serious issue moving runners in situations like that. A lot of K prone guys.

 

But, I'll defer to you. Condescension is directly correlated to wisdom, after all.

Boozy!

 

Even if it was a hanger..

You mean after then dropped 4 of 5 and were down to about 20% not long ago. Yeah, statistically, it wasn't real likely they were making the playoffs then.

 

Why is blind homerism the only accepted form of game thread banter?

All I know is the closer we get to the end, the more excruciating these games are gonna get. Every at bat becomes huge.

Padres are 50-50 in their last 100 games.  Not like they are butt ugly.

Polanco looked out. Caught a break there.

I didn't think so. He looked clearly on the bag when Myers' glove moves with the impact of the ball.

Win or lose, at least we got to see Nishioka pitch against Escobar a couple innings ago

Prerry clear Buxtons wrist is still bothering him. No other reason to be bunting with 2 out and a runner in first.

Very curious why you wouldn't challenge at this point in a 1-1 game.

So, Kepler, Adrianza, Vargas, Garver or Giminez?

 

Garver's probably the best statistical option.

Garver must not be available tonight.

Just a bevy of PH options available.

Molitor has no faith in Kepler, it seems. Go traditional. Lefty righty.

I guess I haven't looked at splits in awhile. Last I looked, Ehire was better vs RHP.

Draft position? That's all I've got.

Not much on the bench in the way of PHers, Falvine.

Now we'll throw our closer in and then rely on a bunch of duds if we go extras

I really really really really dislike pinch hitting Kepler every. Single. Time. Late. In. Games.

0-whatever with RISP....ugh

And now no Kepler.
