Lomo loves taking that looping curve and grounding into the shift.

 

Every time.

Fuzzy feelings are overrated. I already had chicken for dinner today, so we have to win.

 

and as we speak, Lance Lynn is pulling fuzz out of his navel in the shower, so things are coming together

Bottom half of the order looks like the 2016 twins.

Define "bottom"

 

Last three guys? Last four? Last five?

sorry, snark was overflowing

Didn't Haningcurver pitch last night and give up dinger to Ohtani?  Why are we bringing him back?  The man needs rest...in AAA.

Holy cow, I hope Buxton makes at least one spectacular catch this series

In July, at Coors, with fences moved in, that ball is a home run

Everyone matters. You throw in an injury or two, a slump or two, and suddenly you have lineups like this.

Molly, mangin'

This might be my last inning. Don't know if I can suffer through the 5-9 hitters one more time. Good to know Kep is available if needed

I switched over to watch rugby in the 5th- missed that bases-loaded walk.

 

The sun is shining somewhere-  just not on the Twinks today.

 

Still 1 more crack---  but getting into the automatic out portion of the lineup... 

 

Come on, Eddie, hit a lead-off 2-run homer!

He tried!

Heh.

 

Cut Rosario!

 

Someday, I wish people would realize their stupid hot takes are stupid.

 

And I say this as a person who was never particularly high on Rosario.

Well, we still have a game here. Just gotta hit Morrison in here...

Yay, short bench!

Heck yeah! Garver with the game trying hit!

crazy as hell.

Don't think of it as a story problem, think of it as acerbic observation sprinkled with semi-random numbers.

wut?

The Experience is coming.

I am going to ride the 30-foot wave of the FRE right now.

What ever happened to Jim (Clark Kent) Johnson?
