What kind of a line is that?!

[soccer10k]

Darvish thinks 81 pitches is 3 innings worth of work, 4 if he's pitching well.

Sorry 3.5 outs recorded.

The Yu settling in/coming out party happens today

[Guancous]

Yesterday’s game was so elegant. 3 pitches per batter, 3 outs per inning, nine pitcher per inning for nine innings: 81 pitches.

 

Even more amazing in this era. Five teams scored 9 or more runs last night.

Game is at 3:05 not 4:05

For those outside the Chicago area, the game is on FS1.

Has it been determined that Bote would be inadequate in the outfield? I haven't watched enough games to know what the defensive repercussions of Bryant in RF/Bote at 3B vs. Bryant at 3B/Bote in RF would be.

Bote is a very good defensive 3B, so there's really no reason to do that.

Thanks, that's what I was asking (Bote vs KB at 3B)

Here we go, first pitch at Carpenter's feet

Pounding the under. I'm guessing this cashes in the first inning.

That error combined with the smile GIF from yesterday is going to really set off the BFIB

Yeah I was thinking to myself and wondering how many of them would be clamoring he missed that ball and jogged slow on purpose.

[weis21]

I mean I don’t exactly judge him for trying to go first to third there because it would have taken a perfect throw (and did) but there’s no reason to risk it either.

I mean, that's one of the worst defensive players in baseball right there.

Yu is Japanese for horsefeathering train wreck.

[HawkeTrackler]

Jesus tittyfucking christ Yu

Davis has gotta get starts eventually but this one is weird. We’ve had 2 off days this week, we’re playing a division rival, and today is a day game with a night game tomorrow. Would think we’d try to have Willson catch all 3 games if possible.

I’m annoyed
