the Giants announcers were predicting exactly that, a ball way down below the strike zone 😞 Sad to see PCA fall for it - it was a very good at bat right up till then
-
yeah i really hate those giants uniforms. very ugly numbers on them in particular
-
great start to Seiya's night at least. Would be cool to get a run here.
-
this zone is crazy. if the ump calls this zone so big we're boned
-
can we please not scuffle against the desiccated corpse of Justin Verlander? PLEASE?
-
So Tyler Scott is a roster cut then as well I assume? I have to say I like the WR and TE corps quite a bit. Wish we had a starting RB I liked a little more to hit the hole hard, but I also have confidence in Johnson’s judgment on the running game.
-
Justin Verlander is still in the league ?
-
Zacch Pickens was cut. One of Poles's higher picks from 2 years ago and a bust. That's not great for Poles's evaluation quality.
-
That was a magical run by Arrieta. I almost feel like he exhausted all his physical talent in that ~2 year stretch to will the Cubs to a World Series and then his career was more or less over (it wasn’t but he never reached anything close to those highs and those Phillies years, woof)
-
I have to say, I enjoyed hearing Matt Abbattacola’s voice again. The best stretch of Boers and Bernstein was when he was their producer and he was constantly to giving Dan attitude. Didn’t realize he had a breakdown of his own and got completely out of the radio business for like 10 years.
-
Not so fast, they just scored 5 runs and are now only down by 1
-
He’s fine and I expect he’ll have a very good year
-
Season flow status:
-
Oh he was quite open that he fully accepts he was in the wrong and deserved to be fired. He just wanted to explain what happened from his perspective.
-
Listened to the first half of Bernstein and Matt Abbattacola's show, Dan goes over what happened with him getting kicked off the Score. Sounds like social media (particularly twitter) hooked itself into his own particular mental health struggles and he really lost his mind there for a bit. And well, thats not an isolated case. Dunno if I'll listen much further but was curious about what his side of the story was.

I don't know who the "this is a historic collapse" crowd was - I have been emotional and angry at the team but I never once really thought they had any chance of losing out on a wild card spot. The frustration had much more to do with the Brewers going on one of the best tears in baseball history right when the Cubs started scuffling a bit (and a sober eye could see even the scuffle wasn't that bad) and nearly locked down the entire division in like a 6 week span. They're going to the playoffs - that is more or less unquestioned at this point. What they do there, well who knows. The goal is to make it, ideally make it as a good seed, and most importantly make it as often as possible. That's one thing they've been bad at: you can't load up for just one year every 4 years. You gotta just keep making it and eventually you win one. The Dodgers did it, despite notorious seasons where they blew it with the best team in baseball. So could anyone else if they make it 15 years in a row.
-
They def want Keenum in the room it seems like, but can’t you hire him as an assistant coach or something? Lol
-
Division is possible but likely requires a Brewers collapse, which honestly, they’re due for
-
I’m not so sure that was a swing but the umps wanted to go home. I’ll have to stuff that one in my pocket later when I lament how the umps always rule against my teams

Ok, Out 2 is huge just get this last guy my man pleaseeeeee
-
This feels like a game they lose, especially because it’s a Sunday game-to-sweep game
-
I don’t like this Palencia has been a bit wild and has been toying with blowing the lead several recent games, I would hate for things to collapse here
-
Plz figure out a way to win it would be very nice for me
-
I was hoping they’d hang more on Kyle and friends because they kept getting multiple baserunners seemingly every inning and now they’re just going down quietly in order
