Teheran's scoreless streak against the Cubs now at 34255 innings Edited July 18, 2017 by Agony and Ivy

[We Got The Whole 9]

I saw Jorge got sent down again. The big thing for the Royals was that he was under control for three more seasons after this one. Now I'm thinking it might have been a blessing for us to get out from the $4.6 million per for a dude who so far has been below replacement.

He's garbage

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Why is Javy starting over Russell tonight?

he has taken his rightful place

 

also Joe said earlier he was just giving Russell a night off

Well he did just try to end that laptop with that sweet throw

[David]

[Schwarber Fan]

Russell looks a lot better and there's a off day Thursday, under those circumstances he shouldn't be playing vs a RHP at SS over Russell

Any chance it's for the tagging ability with Lester on the mound?

Requesting that the Braves wear orange and black jerseys the rest of this series

[bcl412]

Ugh, the popups

[bcl412]

There's nothing more annoying than an emphatic strike three call on a ball.

[Schwarber Fan]

This game is a lot like the first half so far. Pop-ups galore, BS strike zone against, and garbage runs allowed.

I was going to ask if when the umps review games - if they do - does he feel stupid for being so animated about being wrong?

THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE FIRST HALF

 

 

Lester pitched a scoreless first

[SpongeWorthy]

How's Lester's velocity been

Pretty sure someone came out and said that whenever Ump gets their review notes/tapes/etc... they just rip it up/throw it away without even looking. Or it could've been related to just a certain ump.

[bcl412]

They should ban emphatic strike three calls. It just makes them look like massive d-bags.

[NotSoSober]

CB Bucknor is horsefeathering annoying, but whatever it's 2-1 now so horsefeathers him

[David]

dat dude bp

umps think the fans are there to see some wicked awesome umping

[bcl412]

Bryant's speed still shocks me.

[Agony and Ivy]

dat dude bp

 

If we would've paused as the ball went past Teheran and we took bets, I would've bet $100 Phillips makes the horsefeathering play because horsefeathers him

[Transmogrified Tiger]

CB Bucknor gets paid to do this

 

real american currency

[raw]

i don't really like this park. Doesn't feel "natural".
