I sent him a PM about starting the thread after you were done but weis went and did it. He never said anything so I figured he wouldn't care. If he wants his turn next, it's his.
They should have taken until he threw a strike. First three batters did that. Last two didn't. Szczur put himself in a hole by swinging at two pitches out of the zone. KB should have been 2-0. If he is, he probably takes the third pitch which likely would have been a ball as well. Just stupid.
For a second he sounded like he was going to flip out, but retreated into his typical pouting silence. I'm surprised he even said "And we lose this game 4-3." I figured after "High and deep", he wouldn't say anything.
Courtesy of Pat: deGrom threw a complete game 1 hitter yesterday and the only hit he allowed was to the pitcher. It was the fifth time a Mets pitcher has done that in franchise history.
Was just coming to post about this. I should have waited a minute so we could have had our third simultaneous carbon-copy post this year. Haha. Chance missed, I guess. He's through 6 now and only thrown 72 pitches. And the Pirates and Nats are on to the 16th.
Odds are they're going to get hot again. Next bunch of games: 3 vs. Milwaukee 3 vs. Philly 2 vs. Seattle 3 @ Milwaukee 3 @ Atlanta 3 vs. Cincinnati 3 vs. San Diego I wouldn't be surprised if Pittsburgh is leading the WC race come the middle of August.
Cards gave up a run in the eighth and one in the ninth and trail the Marlins 7-6 in the bottoms of the ninth. Lead off hitter singled to start the inning, though. EDIT: K, K, 1B, K and Cards lose.
