Great pitch

Is that jerri curl in Crawford's hair

[BigSlick]

Even though I have no reason to doubt Rondon, I always get more nervous in these games where we stopped scoring 6+ innings ago.

There is a feeling of inevitably when the team clings to a lead they adamantly refuse to tack onto from the first few innings.

The weirdest thing about the umpiring recently is that every other sport is making strong moves to *increase* scoring. Football has severely limited what defensive players can do, NHL has made moves to increase scoring, why would the MLB let umps collectively hurt the ability of baseball teams to score when its generally accepted higher scoring increases viewership? (I'm not sure if that is true, but its accepted as true)

 

Because they are bound and determined to speed up games, whatever the cost

 

To appeal to the casual fan who is subsequently turned off by low scoring games

man, that as just a nasty pitch

Cubs have heavier uniforms. Both the Cardinals and Giants have lighter ones.

I don't know, but a lot of Soler's hits have that Baseball Simulator 1.000 feel where if the fielder were to catch it they would be carried into the outfield wall.

Awesome reference

[BigSlick]

I have seen 40% of Jorge Soler's home runs this year and I have been to only one game at Wrigley

 

it was a cool game though

Almost everyone on the Giants looks like they fell out of a dumpster.

 

Well Pence is literally a monster from Rick and Morty come to life, so we're really splitting hairs with what 'looks like' v. reality.
