[sneakypower]

what a sweet little double play that was!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Davis grounded into a DP, 4-6-3, Wright out at second

[treebird]

that double play was the best double play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duda singled to right center field

[Smack]

Keith describing staying 'inside the ball' while batting is pretty amusing.

[jersey cubs fan]

Jackson seems to give up a lot of very solid contact

[Smack]

I have an irrational dislike for John Buck.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Edwin still accumulating so much fWAR.

[jersey cubs fan]

you better call that a swing

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That's the third time we've heard the "slider-speed fastball" story this year, at least.

Edwin still accumulating so much fWAR.

not today, he isn't

 

Oh yeah, it's based on FIP (8.02 so far today) and not xFIP (3.33).

 

I miss just being able to count the runs, maybe do a park adjustment. This stuff hurts my head.

[sneakypower]

haha, awesome

 

for those not watching: Edwin kind of incidentally kicks the ball up to himself, Len calls it "rezorceful"

[Crack Wilson]

Incredibly nifty play by Edwin there! Froze his back foot and got a perfect carom to his throwing hand.

[Crack Wilson]

haha, awesome

Uh, uh...no accident. Give the guy credit. =D>

[Schwarber Fan]

Keith Hernandez seriously just mixed up 1989 with 2003... he honest to God thought the Alou/Bartman thing was 89.

 

Wow.

Wow.

 

Maybe he's having a stroke?

That was fantastic.
