[UMFan83]

Strikes please

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Strikes please

 

You even asked nicely.

[Tryptamine]

and Lackey is suddenly completely broken

[BigSlick]

It appears that Lackey has lost any and all control

[Tim]

Release point: lost

[NOLA]

Has Almora always done the Soriano hop before catching fly balls? I don't remember him doing that when he first came up.

[Tim]

phew

No, he's just misreading this warning track and his proximity to the wall for some reason.

[Tim]

It was under control the whole time. No cause for concern.

[Tryptamine]

Not that I've noticed, I think it's just that he's completely unfamiliar with that outfield.

[UMFan83]

Coomer should be fired on the spot this is ridiculous. He described the ball Almora caught like he was reading an instruction manual out loud.

Maybe so, but he did it at least once in Cincy too.

God I love Javy.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Javy! I was just getting ready to bitch about him swinging at junk, too.

[Derwood]

Why does anyone ever throw Baez fastballs?

[Tim]

Javy!!!!

 

look bad; look bad; look bad; look bad; look bad; DO SOMETHING AMAZING

[Tryptamine]

Why does anyone ever throw Baez fastballs?

 

Was a change up no?

[BigSlick]

I love Javy

[Tim]

Yes it was. He stayed back on it very well, obviously.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Sorry, Matt, but you aren't good enough to do the Javy Slide.

[muntjack]

wtf was the Baez/Ross custom celebration? They each appeared to lift a leg and thrust their pelvises together with both players emitting a loud grunt.

[Tim]

I need a replay. How was that not a balk?

[Tryptamine]

Letting your young potential ace lefty go 100+ pitches with a known bone spur. Terrific coaching.

[Gilby]

That was not particularly close to being a legal pickoff move.

[BigSlick]

nevermind! Edited July 1, 2016 by BigSlick
