show a replay, Arcia looked like he was high fiving the RF when he caught that -
the Brewers treat baserunners like their presence is draining the life force out of the pitchers
-
alright, now it's time to try to pick Bryant off first
-
The new market efficiency is guys who make Hunter Pence look like Javy Baez
-
Clint Hurdle might be the next best manager in the division. Don't think about that for more than 5 seconds or blood will shoot out your ears.

It's pretty awesome when we can get annoyed that the guy who closed Game 7 of the World Series is pitching. I'm probably a wee bit of a hypocrite for campaigning for Montgomery to start every 5th/6th day while showing disdain for him entering a tie game, but to be fair to me I hate losing extra inning games a lot.
-
Montgomery being the pitcher makes this gap less than normal, but I continue to hate the 'long reliever throwing in the 9th or later on the road' as a matter of principle.
-
lol at Aguilar encouraging Torres on that pickoff throw
-
Because he injured his head and then left the game.
-
If neither Rondon or Davis are actually broken then the bullpen has preposterous depth. Justin Grimm ran a 3.28 FIP with a great K rate last year and he's legit 6th in the pecking order. And 7th is Montgomery who belongs in a MLB rotation.

I don't think that's an irrational fear, but I think it's logical for him to try and close holes in his game. Sure he wasn't lacking for power overall, but if you're not driving the ball the other way then unless you're on top of the plate Rizzo style then guys with stuff can pitch around your power. I don't disagree with the premise, but if it were that easy, why didn't pitchers get around it last year? Because most pitchers lack either the velocity or the command to do so with consistency. It's like the curveball thing from the world series, it's not an easy button to getting Bryant out, but if you can throw hard and live on the outside edge you can stay there until Bryant puts it in play(which is probably not a XBH) or until you're forced to by the count. The other thing that makes me worry less about it is 1) Bryant is baseball perfection personified and 2) hitting with oppo power has been a hallmark of his in the past, so it's not exactly a drastic change.

Cards shut out by Cincy 2-0, on one hand this moves the Cards to 1-3 on their homestand, on the other hand it ensures the Cubs can't take sole possession of first place today
-
Villar got blown away by a fastball he could've beaten in a foot race
-
Koji got him out twice, two lifetime contracts it is
-
If Koji gets him out give him a lifetime contract
-
they knew exactly where Jay was going to put that if he drove it to the OF

Also I will continue to have shotgun on the Mekkes hype train: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3/1 K/BB -
I don't know if I've ever seen a balk like that, did he not see the first baseman?
-
Nelson has seen about as many pitches as the rest of their lineup combined
-
This ump seems really anchored to where the catcher is set up. I've seen strikes on both sides uncalled because they missed a spot, and that nonsense on Baez gets called twice.

Tseng only being 22 seems impossible, I looked it up when I saw he was the SP tonight thinking he was 24. -

The SP Mills, Candelario, and Zagunis. Basically, the heart of the order and the starting pitcher. Please subscribe to my newsletter for more keen insight.
