    Gonna have to hope 3 runs holds up just in case. Edit: and very next pitch Happ almost homers
  2. UMFan83
    Phew...3 hard hit balls all over 106 mph and 2 walks but no damage
  3. UMFan83
    Awful 4 pitch walk, none of the pitches were even close
  4. UMFan83
    nevermind PCA has it under control
  5. UMFan83
    Not a great start to the inning. Come on Rea, at least get through this inning.
  6. UMFan83
    Damn great catch. I know many fielders who would have let that drop for fear of hitting the wall
  7. UMFan83
    What a terrible strike 1 to Seiya
  8. UMFan83
    The ball to Seyia was 93.5, ball to Dansby was 93.8
  9. UMFan83
    Seiya's HR: 105.7 mph exit velocity, 26 degree launch angle, HR in 1/30 parks (yay Wrigley), .950 xBA, 389 feet Dansby's flyout: 105.4 mph exit velocity, 31 degree launch angle, .850 xBA, 385 feet So basically 0.3 mph less velocity hit 5 degrees higher caused the ball to go 4 less feet

    Dammit....got one past the wind, but the wind takes one back.
  11. UMFan83
    Says a lot about PCA that when I saw the ball bounce away from the fielders that I briefly wondered if he could get a triple out of it even though it happened in short left field.

    And of course Giolito gives up 3 ER in 3 batters
  13. UMFan83
    should have been an all-star
  14. UMFan83
    Oh they didnt. Honestly just assumed they were giving Shota and Boyd an extra day of rest with Rea going today and then resetting back to the top of the rotation. Seems pretty crazy to do a bullpen game against Crochet. Any game is winnable but dramatically lowering their odds. I get that Counsell is playing the long game though.
  15. UMFan83
    Gonna be a tough series right out of the gate. Giolito has allowed just 3 ER total in his last 6 starts and 1 in his last 3, averaging almost 7 innings a start. Then they have Bello who has an ERA under 3 each of the last 2 months. Followed by Crochet who has been one of the best LHP in baseball this year coming off a CG shutout of the Rays. Not trying to be a doomer, we can hit good pitching, especially RHP. And the fact that Rea is going today is somewhat balanced out by the wind blowing in today, then Shota and Boyd going the next 2 games.

    PCA double off a lefty!
  17. UMFan83
    Wait why isn’t Kyle Tucker doing that in regular season games? Should he be in left field??
  18. UMFan83
    Smart getting out so Tucker and PCA don’t have to face the lefty Skubal
  19. UMFan83
    horsefeathers that blows
  20. UMFan83
    That's what I think too but if the DBacks want young pitching as the centerpiece, I have to think one of the teams in contention will be willing to pony up.
  21. UMFan83
    Damn, Dodgers didnt score in the top of the 10th and the Giants had the top of their order up but didnt score. Devers just missed a walk off hit.
  22. UMFan83
    Kelly/Suarez would be an absolute dream. I can't figure out what's wrong with Gallen but part of me thinks it would be like trading for Cole Hamels when he was struggling, so I'd be open to him instead of Kelly. The only issue is that several teams are interested in upgrading at 3B. Suarez is going to go for more than he should most likely. I mean if you have a hole at 3B and can get a guy who is on pace for 55 HR, 5 WAR, and plays defense adequately, it seems like a dream acquisition. The other issue is that the Diamondbacks are said to be looking at young pitching and while we have some, position players are definitely more in supply. Would we be willing to give up Horton for 2 rentals? Birdsell?
  23. UMFan83
    So if the Dodgers lose this afternoon the Cubs will have the best record in the NL at the All Star break despite being 1 game up in the division
  24. UMFan83
    Series win after that really tough first game. Love it. Now gotta hope the ASB cools off the Red Sox who have won 10 in a row.
  25. UMFan83
    Assuming for defensive purposes since it’s a close game. Get the reset thing but maybe 1 AB in a week isn’t the worst thing
