Man, I haven't been around on game threads much so far this year. Truth be told, I've been a bit depressed. Mrs Chief ran off with my best friend.

 

...

 

And I miss him.

DP for Pryce, let's go!

STOP with those stupid shifts!!!

Is the NCAA Final Four, to blame for this "slow" game thread ?

Same question, but frozen instead of final?

 

Or are the offset by a week?

 

I should really pay more attention...

That one hurts.

STOP with those stupid shifts!!!

Got it. Caps lock engaged and disengaged as necesary...

Crap!!!

He should. He has a lot more command of that pitch than most, for instance Tyler Duffey. Jose's curve isn't just for show, it's a deadly out pitch.

Deadly, you say?

 

Do i wanna know what qualified it as such?

Oh, crap. My bad. Had the game on while spring cleaning and everything was going great. Sit down for 30 seconds with my feet up and we're down 2-1.

 

Sorry.

No, my bad. I jinxed him. I'll never use that phrase about his curve again.

 

I thought it was going to be a pop out. Really carried.

Incentive clause in his contract. Means he's working harder.

Sorry.

Go back to your dusting.

Sorry.

Go back to cleaning the garage.  It needs to be swept again.

 

Sorry.

"But the trajectory...."

 

Not to worry.

 

Still 3 innings.

 

And we got an Astudillo up our sleeve, right.

Our plus-sized sleeve.

And Cruz too.

And Polanco

You can't live on breaking balls alone. Lots of Philly hitters sitting curve in the last couple innings, getting pretty good swings.

Hope Berrios doesn’t realize he missed out on a dozen at bats from The A team.

Just to further depress me, with Mrs Chief gone I've been so miserable it's like she's still here.

Punch less lineup today. Oof.

No disagreement there. I saw Jose shake off Jason at least once in order to throw another curve. If Castro is this great pitcher-whisperer asset behind the plate I wanna see his batterymates go along with his recommendations a little more.

Difficult to fathom how she could part ways with this reliable source of humor.

4, 5, 6, 7 guys can all be pinch hit for. Hoping we get to that point with runners on base.

Eddie going yard here. I meant  I mean fly out to right field.

So, you're saying there's a good chance, your buddy will soon return?

Rosario getting some respect here.  Sending out a special lefty to face him.

Rogers being overused?

yes?
