For earned run reasons, how is the guy who starts at 2B scored?

Not earned.

Ugliest win of the year, but thank god

[Irrelevant Dude]

Easy win! All I'm asking now is 7+ scoreless innings from Kyle tomorrow.

[SOFNR]

Dub. Got the job done. Take 3 out of 4.

The Starlin whew gif is going to be worn down to threads by mid September.

Win the 3-game series this weekend and I’ll be very happy.

one of these days, the jump to an early lead against a bad team, then completely shut down and let them come back and then eke out a win with a late run strategy is gonna not work. 

today is not that day.

Our first mini run into contention started with those 2 June sweeps of the Pirates. Here’s to hoping another sweep is coming!!

I know. I just mean they won today and there’s three left. Treat the weekend like a 3-game and win the series, meaning they win at least two of the three.

Winning ugly is better than losing pretty

The old Lovie Smith, "the second half of the fourth quarter of the season" trick.

Yeah, even though I’ve been bitching about struggling against bad teams during this stretch, I’d be more than satisfied with 8-4 during these 12 games. So far we’re 6-3

[Derwood]

Huge hat tip to Andre Jackson, who took a bullpen game and turned it into an amazing performance

[PackLandVA]

DBacks beat the Reds, Cubs gain a 1/2.
