    Fun fact: Duensing’s FIP is one run worse.

    It really amazes me how frequently pitchers throw the ball into center or get close to it on plays like that.

    A grounder right at Baez or Russell would be ideal.

    DONG

    It always bugs me when a pitch like that gets called a strike because it was never a strike. At least if it curves across the plate and ends up a couple inches off, it was in the zone at some point. That pitch never was.

    Looked out to me. Oh well, no challenge available.

    And with the pitcher coming up. Gave us an auto out to start the third.

    Or, considering he’s been hitting well there, they could just keep him in that spot.

    Rougned Odor has a career 4.6% walk rate. This year, he’s at 7.1% (before today). Two years ago, he walked 19 times in 632 plate appearances. Today, he had 6 plate appearances and walked in 5 of them. None of them were intentional. In his other PA, he homered. He’s apparently the 4th player ever with 5 BB and 1 HR in a game, along with Aaron, McGwire and Edgar Martinez.

    Did Chatwood pitch for Milwaukee?

    Duensing allowed 1 run over his first 16 2/3 innings, which spanned 23 appearances. Since then, he's pitched in 20 games and 17 2/3 innings including tonight. Here are some fun facts about those 20 games. -He's allowed an ERA of 13.75. Tonight's outing actually lowered his ERA in that span from 14.36. -He's allowed at least one run in 12 of those 20 outings. -He's allowed at least two runs in 10 of those 20 outings. -If you make it two or more earned runs, it drops that all the way down to 9 of his 20 outings. -In only two of those 20 outings he didn't allow a single baserunner. He faced a combined 3 batters in those 2 outings.

    I would find it acceptable for the Cubs to have one loss this series. They decided to make it the first game. They better win the next horsefeathering three. I'd be happy with 5-2 against the Pads and Royals, however they want to get there.

    Saw Almora is batting second and Heyward third which meant I was going to be annoyed that one of them is batting in that position. Turns out, it’s Heyward. If Joe really doesn’t want to put 3 righties in a row for bullpen reasons, put Happ there.

    Wade Davis trying to blow it against St Louis. EDIT: And he blows it. Cards win with two in the ninth.
  16. soccer10k
    I was happy when they brought him in. Just remembered that game a couple months ago when he came in and gave up a homer to Rizzo right away.
  17. soccer10k
    Grandal walkoff homer in the 10th.
  18. soccer10k
    Leadoff double in the ninth for the Dodgers. End it now, please.
  19. soccer10k
    This Alexander guy is horsefeathers today and Roberts is just sitting on his hands in the dugout. EDIT: Got a double play with the bases loaded to at least keep the game tied.
  20. soccer10k
    Cueto will have Tommy John tomorrow.
  21. soccer10k
    That's the stereotypical "Chatwood allows no runs" inning. Single and a walk to get into trouble but then gets a double play ball.
  22. soccer10k
    One ball out of the infield and we have four runs.
  23. soccer10k
    Good start. Would be nice if we pretended we were facing our own starters and put up a crooked number right away.
  24. soccer10k
    12 Nats players batted in the game and all 12 had at least one hit.
  25. soccer10k
    He tried to do a Javy slide and didn’t need to. If he doesn’t pull the left hand back he’s absolutely safe.
