We Got The Whole 9

Thought Claypool could block

Amazing run by Fields

Looking like a bunch of chumps trying to defend that perfectly fine hit on Fields

Get your horsefeathers horsefeathers together

Embarrassing. Getting absolutely punked right now.

Looking really bad.

And then they give up a 3/15 easy

Lord that was an awful call on 3rd down

Wtf is Candelario doing

How is anyone who gets 1 AB in 10 days a good use of a roster spot? They should have just called up Young or Mervis. Not waste this much time of a 23 year olds season.

Feels like one team did a better job preparing for this series than the other did. But what do I know.

Tough pill to swallow. Please get a run.

Why do they look so unprepared against awful pitchers sometimes. Can't keep having these clunkers. Terrible approaches at the plate tonight from several hitters; too passive and consistently in the hole as a result.

Cubs are gonna horsefeathers smoke Gallen.

Jordan Lawler will make his debut vs the Cubs.

11 runs from SB in the 4th inning, up 22-4 now. Franklin was in the hole to make his 3rd PA of the inning when Alcantara Kd to end the ambush.

Most definitely. I would like to see the video on that one. South Bend has 18 runs and it's just the 4th. All the prospects are doing damage in that one, even Rivera homered.

Mariners appropriately destroyed Lyon Richardson

Those detractors have made this season a bit more enjoyable. I love the fact that they were so right about a lot of things (Mancini, Hosmer, Taillon,) but we have basically gotten the 95% outcomes from others like Dansby and Bellinger, and then plenty of internal improvement to rise above and be a greater than the sum of the parts team. It's pretty clear that this FO deserves a lot of credit for believing in the roster they were building and sticking to their plan, and developing specific unique skills they identified to get contributions from all over the roster. The game-planning has definitely felt like 2015-2016 levels, pitching to Alonso and Robert notwithstanding, and the players deserve a lot of props for buying in and executing at such a high level. The general impressions of the team between NSBB and PSD were vastly different. On here most of the posters expected a team that would be slightly above 500 and with a couple fortunate breaks, could be buyers at the deadline and on PSD they were damn near locks to have another firesale and be back to square one in the winter. So many times we heard how they would be wasting the best seasons of Swanson's contract and that even the best case scenario from Bellinger wouldn't help the team much. We'd be rich if we got a dollar for every time that argument was made.

Killian seemed like he was possibly turning the corner before these last 2 starts. So much for that. PCA is definitely getting a crash course on weaknesses to work on for next year. Vazquez had another really strong day, including another jack.

Soft training. Really soft training.

I feel like these plays are becoming too damn common. I used to expect runners to beat them out but they are usually outs these days.

Hmm, a hit by a lefty off a lefty. Preposterous!

I'd be losing it if I were a Giants fan. They are making great contact and have basically had the leadoff guy on damn near every inning. Hahaha.
