[sneakypower]

there's a game being played today, and we're fielding a cleanup hitter with fewer HR than Barney

Ewww.

[Sammy Sofa]

Puig is dreamy.

Puig is dreamy.

 

Stupid Dodgers. They could have had Soler for that money.

[Sammy Sofa]

Rizzo, you fartpuppet.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rizzo needs to get Lake to teach him how to get those crappy ground balls to go for hits.

[Andy]

The unstoppable Gillespie/Barney combo delivers again!

[Schwarber Fan]

So we have to deal with that outside corner BS today...

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, when the [expletive] did McGwire go to work for the Dodgers?

[Sammy Sofa]

Thanks, Dodgers!

[Sammy Sofa]

Wood kinda sucking today.

[Andy]

So Wood doesn't get the inside corner OR the outside corner. Good to know.

You mean you missed this gem?

I did; they were just talking about that brawl and I really want to see it.

[Sammy Sofa]

Christ, Wood's already around 70 pitches.

[Sammy Sofa]

Four straight walks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs hitters should take notes of these ABs.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It doesn't look to me like he's getting squeezed. It looks to me like he's missing.

Yup. He's not been missing badly, but people acting like he's being squeezed are just wrong.

[Schwarber Fan]

The 2-2 to Uribe was a squeeze job based on the calls Ryu was getting but other than that, yep.

A "squeeze job?" His agenda was to miscall that one pitch?

[Schwarber Fan]

I don't really see "squeezing" as an "agenda," per se.

[Sammy Sofa]

Not necessarily an agenda, but actively calling a select zone consistently. Missing a pitch or two doesn't strike me as that.

[illiniguy]

And Wellington swings at a pitch that hasn't been called a strike all day. If only he was playing a position that allowed him to know that. :banghead:
