The Torrens experiment is finally over

[Transmogrified Tiger]

So we went to 3 catchers(and 2 1B/DH) just so Torrens could catch 6 innings and play 1 inning in LF, start a couple games at DH, and get 22 PA in 24 games worth of opportunity.  Really one of the most confusing decisions from the front office in a very long time.

I'm making homemade chicken tika masala tonight for the first time. Gonna put some paneer and sweet chili peppers in there with it over jasmine rice.

i'm sure that will be delicious, but sir, that is not the bit

[Derwood]

I do not hate that lineup

I also do not hate chinese food (though I'm getting Roosters tonight, sorry if that makes us lose)

[Bertz]

Luzardo is the goods, so tonight will be tough.  I kind of love the lineup against lefties now though so hopefully they can still pull this out.  Especially with Kilian going tomorrow.

That HR from Nelly looked like a vintage Soler dong. 

[CubinNY]

Nelly is hot.

He’s hitting well too

[CubinNY]

This game is zipping by. Maybe a two hour game. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Great hustle by Bellinger to create that triple, great aggression by Ross in PHing Hosmer, and good execution by Hosmer to reward that choice by putting it in play

Is this a nod to tree making fun of people talking about what they were cooking? I'm feeling a little dense

[Bertz]

Whether or not it works, really like Ross giving Rucker this opportunity 

[SpongeWorthy]

this will end well

It’s not going to work

[SpongeWorthy]

rucker looks super confident out there, thanks ross

[SpongeWorthy]

christ almighty what the horsefeathers was the point of that 

[Bertz]

That sucks.  Rucker was looking good for a bit last year and wilted when he started getting harder opportunities.  He might just not have the stones.  These are the things you've gotta find out early in the year.

[Nolansomebody]

Just found about the result of the game.

It drives me batty when managers hold back relievers for hypothetical extra inning save situations.
