  1. Also Marlins are up 5-0 in their game so looking like the most we can gain in the WC today if these scores hold is 0.5 games.
  2. Hell yeah! Got 2 from Merryweather. Great stuff
  3. Nationals up 5-0 over the Reds. Finish this off
  4. OK, would have loved to get the runner from 2nd home with 0 outs, but a lot more comfortable with a 4 run lead and 6 outs to get instead of a 3 run lead with 9 outs to get.
  5. Did Minter learn to pitch from Craig Kimbrel? Are we sure he isn't a lefthanded Kimbrel?
  6. Glad to see Happ is coming out of his funk and doing more damage from the right side.
  7. Nice work Merryweather. Good things can happen when you pitch 100 mph and throw strikes
  8. Still no 1-2-3 innings for the Braves today with that D'Arnaud hit. They are relentless.
  9. I swear, any other team I'd be calmly watching the Cubs with a 3 run lead in the 7th
  10. OK Leiter is done and Merryweather is in. Wonder if they'll try to get 2 from Merryweather and if he can't get through, another 4+ out save attempt for Alzolay.
  11. Cubs have 3 other pitchers besides Kay and whats left of Leiter (if he's still in) to get the last 9 outs so we can avoid it but the margin for error is low
  12. It's a bullpen game so those 3 are almost certainly going to have to pitch. Assuming Fulmer couldn't go any further, I'm ok with Palencia coming in but he had absolutely no command today and shouldn't have been allowed to walk the bases loaded for the top of the Braves lineup. I get that Ross wanted to avoid using Leiter for more than an inning at all costs but it was plainly clear Palencia couldnt find the strike zone. Even 2 of the strikes he did get were balls that the ump called incorrectly.
  13. Any chance a massive rainstorm can come right now and wash out the last 3 innings? That's would be immensely helpful
  14. That was still so bad. 2 runs allowed and now we're really going to have to stretch out Leiter and Merryweather or put someone like Cuas or Kay in there to survive the game.
  15. Can anyone throw a horsefeathers strike? We've even gotten 3 balls called strikes this inning.
  16. Even if we get out of this with the lead, the pen is in poor shape for the rest of the game now
  17. I'll take an out for a run I guess. It's just that the next hitter is kind of Ronald Acuna Jr...
  18. Unbelievable. I get that the pen is gassed and you are trying to keep them somewhat fresh for tomorrow but win todays game first. Let’s get a DP ball from Leiter
