It's almost a surprise when Polanco doesn't get a key hit.

Crap, Polanco was dead red to drive that ball.....just missed.

"Battle of the bullpens."

 

Cool!  We're ahead, 3-1.

Dozier's arm is so bad.

Better dead than red, that's what I say.

I absolutely would'a given him the green light 3-0.

How long with Gee? One trip through the order? Unless he starts getting hit, obviously

More like a game of "how many runs can you score against our crappiest pitchers?"

Agreed

I absolutely would'a given him the green light 3-0.

I would assume he took that mostly on his own. If you aren't giving the green light to your #3 hitter, who does get it?

 

But then, most teams don't ask their #3 hitter to bunt. Twice. In a week.

Great defense that inning

In fact, the team we're playing never asks their lead off hitter to bunt.

It's pretty clear to me that Gee needs a spot on the WC roster. At the expense of whom is a seperate issue, but he has restored order to a game that was threatening to spiral badly out of control.

Boys need to score a couple runs this inning.

So that's what a 1-2-3 inning feels like.

Mrs Chief and I have tickets for an oldies show this weekend.  Can't wait!!

Yes, agreed. He's been a great long reliever, which is something this team desperately needs.

 

1500 ESPN's Derek Wetmore made a 25 man roster playoff prediction and included Duffey over Gee. I really don't want that to happen.

Did he just Ichiro that ball?

Bunt here?

 

Bunt here?

Obviously.

You just can't understate that hitting......

Ha!  I was searching for a way to describe that swing, and you NAILED it.

Any relation to Percy?

 

Rosario again flunking baseball 101.

One base running blunder deserves another

You just can't understate that kind of bad base running.....

I think Hughes is on the official postseason roster. As is Sano. So they can add or subtract based on the DL.

Esco should have had the bunt sign on.  Assuming he gets it down; runner on third.  No double play right there. At least one more at-bat.

Playing for 1 run with this bullpen is sorta like fighting a forest fire with a garden hose.

That might have been the game right there.  Terrible f'in hitting.
