Wait Grimm is in? I've lost all track of our 25 man roster.

Hammel was placed on the bereavement list

And we're pretty sure Theo had someone murdered to make it possible

 

Theo did Harambe.

[BrockLanders]

Great AB by Javy.

[NotSoSober]

We got somethin' cookin here! Don't horsefeathers it up

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice, Javy. Let's win this.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Stupid Joe Smith.

[soccer10k]

Please let KB bat this inning. Unless they win it before, of course.

[Andy]

This comeback would be just awesome, especially since we would have over 48 hours to soak it in.

Scissors over Addison Clutchell? Hmmm Edited August 3, 2016 by UMFan83

I don't get this crusade. You already have said you think Maddon is one of the best managers in the game.

Just pointing out the facts...the ones soaking their tampons over my doing so are the ones on the "crusade"... Just slapping them around a bit after their misguided initial attacks.

 

I mean, I get that I suppose. But are you on here breaking down all the times he makes good calls? It just seems like it would be a never ending project.

 

For me, Good and/or decent managers over the course of a season just don't play that much a part in wins and losses with their choices during games.

 

Their value comes in managing the clubhouse, egos, effort, and giving proper rest, etc. Maddon is one of the best at it, which makes him a guy that seems weird to bash so much.

Agreed. Only problem is with the second part...this guy micro manages FAAAR too much, feels the need to have his finger prints all over everything, everyday, on a team so loaded it doesn't need that, which flies in the face of the overall premise MANY times.

[Cubswin11]

Don't force the action here Joe, he's struggling

[soccer10k]

Take another one.

[David]

wooooooot tying run at 2nd

[soccer10k]

[Aaron_Kennelly]

[UMFan83]

Oh no, having Mets flashbacks

[BigSlick]

Can we please win this game

[UMFan83]

wooooooot tying run at 2nd

 

And Joe can't possibly call for a bunt here!

[Agony and Ivy]

Oh no, having Mets flashbacks

 

Well Familia is really good and Ramos isn't.

[Omar]

Oh no, having Mets flashbacks

 

as long as you don't have Mets flashforwards

[BigSlick]

This team from innings 7-9 is absolutely terrifying offensively btw

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Oh no, having Mets flashbacks

 

No worries. Only down by one in those. This team thrives being down two.

[Schwarber Fan]

Win or lose, mad props to these guys with washed up Montero, lost looking Javy, and a pinch hitter due up leading off this inning. Never quit.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

[UMFan83]

Man he's been all over the place why offer at that Dex?

[Andy]

Time for an infusion of Sexy Dexy
