7/10 Cobs (Hendricks) @ Reds (Bailey), 11:35AM CDT WGN

[Guest]

I don't think you can stand in the base line like that any more.

[SouthSideRyan]

Just let Olt play 1B everyday at AAA. Not that he'll be any good down there either, but we're starting a hodgepodge of suck there anyway.

 

Let Castro be backup 3B.

i don't like the creepy grimace Parker makes when he pitches

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

jesus, will these [expletive] just die already.

[Guest]

Umps are the absolute scum of the earth. Somehow they've managed to get their contemptuous opinions into replay. [expletive] them [expletive] them they should die.

[DiamondMind]

Guys we have to have replay because then all the controversial calls will be gotten right...

[Guest]

We're gonna lose 8 million in a row to the [expletive] reds.

I honestly think that if a ump gets a call like that wrong on replay then he should have to drink hemlock while his family looks on in considerable sadness.

[chopsx9]

Sending him back down is silly, but I understand trying to let teams get extra looks at Barney. And rewarding Alcantara with the ASG send off in AAA. He's obviously going to be back quick. If it helps trigger a trade of Barney, more power to it.

 

It sucks, but he'll be back very soon and this just gets me even more excited for what's coming.

 

I think one of him, Baez and Bryant need to be up this year and he just makes the most sense. I just can't see the 3 of them being given significant time next year without any of them having a fair bit of time this year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Suck it stupid Reds I'm glad half your players got hurt

[Guest]

I was about to give my new last out thingy:

 

FALL DOWN AND DIE, FALL DOWN AND DIE

[sneakypower]

i like the creepy grimace Parker makes when he pitches well

[HendryWallet]

Just send Barney to Cincy for $100. Let AA play

It was closer than I thought on replay. The complicating thing is that he was so far up the baseline, which is mostly in his control because he was already camped there and not ranging to get a bad throw. That also means that even standing on the line pretty much leaves you no clear lane to the plate because you have to loop around the guy just to get to the circle.

[DiamondMind]

what a game

 

Im dreaming about tiny face and alcontra crushing natty lites in the locker room

To those looking to avoid a nuclear blast of meatballish outrage, stay away from Twitter when it's announced that Alcantara has been sent back to Iowa.

[SouthSideRyan]

Luckily most people don't know Barney is part Asian.

But the runner was coming from way outside the basepath anyway as he rounded third. He had a clear lane but chose to stay out to avoid the tag. I don't understand the rule entirely but on the surface it didn't seem to be some egregious mistake.

[DiamondMind]

Send down Lake and Olt, call up Valaika to back up 1B, keep Alcantara

 

I cant even process that right now though, that game was exhausting
