9/8/18 cubs @ nats - game 2

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I’m not joining the rollercoaster of doom everyone is on. We’re winning today. Brewers are losing tomorrow to MadBum and we’re up 4 going to the series with them that we will win.

 

How do the Giants score any runs these days, though?

 

By hitting the ball and touching home plate a few times

 

If they only score two tomorrow, I can promise you they aren't winning.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I would find it incredibly stressful to be a guy like Gore, whose only role is to steal a base and if he gets caught, has zero value. And the fact that he has to steal a base when everybody knows he's going to attempt to.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Hopefully he is so distracted by Gore that he gives a meatball to Almora and he's able to hit a single.

[Sammys Boombox]

It really was crazy when the Royals had Gore and Dyson at the same time. There were so many double steals with those 2 in huge spots.

If he gets caught he has negative value.

horsefeathers it. Steal home as well

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Why pinch run with one out? Seems like a waste.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Well, try to steal home, dude. It's the only way we are scoring here. Nice work Albert, you stupid horsefeathers.

[Schwarber Fan]

Almora is a useless baseball player.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

An insurance run would be real nice

[TMan92]

Bryant. Do something.

[17 Seconds]

Why pinch run with one out? Seems like a waste.

 

he'd be at third with one out if almora didn't strike out so quickly

Good call.

[Sammy Sofa]

Gameday is stuck with one ball to Almora and La Stella still as the baserunner. Great.

[soccer10k]

Did they PR Gore after Happ couldn’t get a bunt down? Because if so, why not put him in before and just let him steal?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Thanks Kris!!

[TMan92]

KB!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

An insurance run would be real nice

 

I'm thinking it's going to be required.

[raw]

KB!

[Sammys Boombox]

There we go!

[UMFan83]

Heck yeah KB. On an 0-2 count too

[Schwarber Fan]

THANK YOU KRIS!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

If KB doubled every time up like that, we'd start scoring even more runs.

[chibears55]

Nice to steal runs once in a while

[UMFan83]

Feel like Javy is either donging or striking out horribly
