atta boy, Kyle!

Great job by Hendricks to get out of that inning without giving up the tying run though. 2 pop ups and a strike out.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

It is a different park in day games.

Something about the marine layer creeping in around 4pm correct?

[BigSlick]

oh man Pat made me way too excited on that one

[UMFan83]

Damn I thought Heyward got that. OK you are hitting the ball harder and in the air, now just need a lower launch angle.

[bukie]

Heyward hit it hard, got under it a bit.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

everything looks like a dong off the bat to RF

[UMFan83]

damn, could have used that run.

 

quick efficient inning Kyle

[Ski]

Would be nice if we weren't horsefeathers at stranding leadoff doubles.

[Schwarber Fan]

Good thing we got to Roger early. Not sure we're scoring much more off him today.

Why do you keep doing this.

Kyle is 0 for 4 at getting the leadoff man out

They scored on a leadoff double just 3 innings ago. They have scored on 3 of 4 0 out hits this game alone.

They literally just showed on the broadcast we are exactly league average at it

Apparently the Cell is going to be called "Guaranteed Rate Field" next season. Wow

 

edit: NM just saw the thread on this

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Hendricks pitches are moving a ton but he is leaving a lot of pitches up in the zone still.

[BigSlick]

ah. the JD inning.
