    Game day showed that Rizzo popped up a meatball down the middle? Ugh.
  2. Ski
    Unfortunately the Cubs can never play against the Cubs. So you're saying human cloning is the solution to our problems?
  3. Ski
    I wish our useless players could go on random hot streaks like Nick Ahmed did in Arizona.
  4. Ski
    I feel embarrassed for this team.
  5. Ski
    I swear, if our offense can't score more than one run with the wind blowing out...
  6. Ski
    Grimm, why do you throw fastballs right down the middle?
  7. Ski
    Can we score more runs, please?
  8. Ski
    Oh come on.

    We can reasonably expect thirty bombs from Bryant this year. Swoon..
  10. Ski
    Yawn. Another bomb for Bryant.
  11. Ski
    We need to start scoring more than three runs a game, and especially against mediocre pitching. The offense can do better than this.

    Who's surprised that Castro hit into a double play? Anyone?
  13. Ski
    I said we should bean Goldschmidt in the opener so we wouldn't have to face him again. WHY DOES NO ONE LISTEN
  14. Ski
    Whelp. This is why I don't get excited when we face shitty pitching anymore.

    I believe the logic is that the behavior that leads to the neighborhood play is done so to avoid hard contact, so they don't want to incent collisions with the rules. Problem is that people like Ahmed are abusing it when there's zero chance of the runner breaking up the DP and they get the ball to 1st a half step faster. I've heard umpires say that the neighborhood play is an invention of sportswriters and announcers. Major league middle infielders have to be quick and nimble to play their position, and they typically barely drag their toe across bag when making the turn, but it's hard to tell unless you're right on top of the play, like an umpire. Basically, they're rarely 'phantom touching' the bag - it's just too quick to notice in real time on the broadcast. So, if they generally are touching the bag when turning double plays, if umpires are to be taken at their word, then it should be reviewable, at least in flagrant cases. Any competent shortstop or second basemen should be able to scrape their foot over the bag, avoid the slide, and throw the ball to first.

    What? Why isn't the neighborhood play reviewable? You have to be touching the base with the ball in your glove to get the out. That's just the rules.

    Damn, Soler keeps scalding the ball.
  18. Ski
    MIGGY!
  19. Ski
    I wonder if hitters ever get too complacent when there's a mediocre pitcher on the mound.
  20. Ski
    Good start. -_-
  21. Ski
    Angel Hernandez behind the plate? Ugh.
  22. Ski
    Rizzo snapped out of his mini-slump in a hurry.
  23. Ski
    Tonight's win basically cancels out last night's heart-grinding.
  24. Ski
    Hey, Rizzo hit a home run with two guys on!
  25. Ski
    YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
