Me neither, I'm happy. Because Fiers is so much better than Cueto.

Yep. Hell, best in the division, even. Just a shame that the Brewers couldn't have figured it out earlier, or he would have a lot more wins. Meanshile, Cueto is starting to show the effects of being overworked. It's a quality start, but not really what we've been accustomed to seeing from him this season. The Brewers don't have a stellar lineup, but 3 runs will do it, when the other team has the superior pitcher.

 

[CygnusXS]

Part 1 had 3 guys colliding with balls flying everywhere.

What will part 2 consist of?

A lot of back-door sliders.

 

[dmag1223]

No, I am talking historically. And no, the Brewers are not in the same league as those two organizations.



I find it impossible to believe that the Reds are 29th all time in OBP.

All time, yeah both are pretty similar.

 

[McNei1y]

A lot of back-door sliders.

It's also displaying a lot of gag reflex so far.

 

[CygnusXS]

Mid-inning pitching changes in extra innings are the worst.

 

[cashman]

What a massive disaster that Dempster trade was, right guys?

I read an article looking at pythag wins given run differential when the Brewers starters are in vs. when the bullpen is in. Based on the run differential with starters in, the Brewers would have been half game out at the time it was written.

Fuck Axford.

 

[CygnusXS]

What a massive disaster that Dempster trade was, right guys?

Yes, because now you have to live with recap headlines such as this:

Dempster dives into win column in Rangers uni

 

[Xplatformer]

What the hell Dodgers? Fucking RISP is shit. People need to start juicing again.

 

[McNei1y]

Minute Maid CF is so lame.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Cy Fiers dominates the vaunted Reds juggernaut like we all knew he would. Crown his ass.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Minute Maid CF is so lame.

Fuck off it's awesome

Spoiler

for this moment

 

[McNei1y]

Espinosa 3 rbis! I'm feeling good.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

 

[McNei1y]

 

[CygnusXS]

I missed it, but it was on an infield hit? Really?

 

[Fenix]

I missed it, but it was on an infield hit? Really?

It was going to the outfield, but hit 2nd base.

 

[CygnusXS]

It was going to the outfield, but hit 2nd base.

I'm still calling blind luck on that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm still calling blind luck on that.

That's been the entire Nats season in a nutshell. Thankfully they recognize this and will be gift-wrapping the NL East to the Braves when Strasburg is shut down.

 

[McNei1y]

That's been the entire Nats season in a nutshell.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

:lol that gif is still hilarious

Time for Tyler Crappard!

 

[sf2fanatic]

Still don't know how they do it. Lowest Batting avg and killing right now 6-0. Oakland give this team a better stadium

 

[jakncoke]

man we could have gained ground tonight

 

[endresults]

Umps want the M's/O's game to end.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

man we could have gained ground tonight

Enjoy being Wild Card #2, suckers.

 

[rando14]

Fuck these umps. They already stole a run from the M's, now they're about to gift one to the O's to give them the game.

Sigh. Ah well. Baseball.

 

[Fenix]

Umps want the M's/O's game to end.

Carp got jobbed.

 

[Windu]

Enjoy being Wild Card #2, suckers.

the braves and pirates end the season against each other, would be funny if they are the wild card teams.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

the braves and pirates end the season against each other, would be funny if they are the wild card teams.

It would be funny if the Braves finished #1 and Pirates #2 so both teams would have to fly to Atlanta just to play each other again.

 

[Dominican Power]

Damn you Mariners. Now the O's are 4 1/2 games out of first place.

 

[endresults]

Fucking Brian Knight. Worthless.

 

[Macattk15]

Fucking god damn UMPS.

 

[rando14]

Damn you Mariners. Now the O's are 4 1/2 games out of first place.

lol sorry man, got yotu'd hard.

 

[McNei1y]

Come on Clippard!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Come on Asstros. Clippard is close to melting down again.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

My god Clippard just threw a meatball changeup and Wallace just watched it.

 

[jakncoke]

Enjoy being Wild Card #2, suckers.

after having 0 seasons of .500+ baseball, i can accept that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

PLEASE BLOW UP FUCKING MINUTE MAID PARK AND MAKE THEM DO IT AGAIN. THAT'S OUT EVERYWHERE ELSE.

 

[Fenix]

Can't stop the Zombie Expos! What a catch!

 

[McNei1y]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT BERNADINA

NATS WIN! NATS WIN! NATS WIN!

 

[endresults]

Damn you Mariners. Now the O's are 4 1/2 games out of first place.

We softened up their bullpen at least.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I mean seriously. That's out of the fucking stadium in Cincinnati probably. FUCK.

 

[McNei1y]

For that catch, Bernadina should go hang out with the entire Netherlands women's field hockey team.

 

[Jubs]

enjoy the astros, al west.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

At least the Nats bullpen (Clippard especially) is showing signs of wearing down and bottoming out.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Horrible night. Losing to the Rockies and poor Vinny keeps calling Josh Rutlidge Jeff

 

[McNei1y]

At least the Nats bullpen, Clippard especially, is showing signs of wearing down and bottoming out.

Clippard may be but he's not a closer and he never has been. I don't think he can handle the pressure situations. We might as well throw Drew in there now to get used to it again.

Could you really stomach another heart breaking boot from the playoffs at the hands of the Braves? I'd fear the following 19 seasons :|

And it'd be nice if our batters could sync up. When McCutchen was cold, and Marte and Snider were discovering their bats, Alvarez and Walker were batting well, and now that McCutchen, Marte and Snider are hitting well, Alvarez and Walker are blowing chunks.... I suppose that's asking for too much though.

I'd be fine with Gaby Sanchez never stepping foot in our rotation again. Garret Jones is hitting well anyways... I can understand wanting to platoon between Sanchez and Jones, but Sanchez sucks and has brought little to the team.

 

[CygnusXS]

can anyone really "enjoy" the astros? even opposing teams just feel bad for them

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Could you really stomach another heart breaking boot from the playoffs at the hands of the Braves? I'd fear the following 19 seasons :|

I'm imagining Jack Wilson up with 2 outs in the 9th with the Braves down by 1. Dan Uggla on third, Eric Hinske on second. Joel Hanrahan deals and Wilson smacks one through the hole on the left side. Uggla scores easily. Here comes the heavy-footed Hinske lumbering around third getting the green light from Brian Snitker. Starling Marte loads up and fires to the plate. Rod Barajas dives over to tag Hinske, but it's just a hair late. BRAVES WIN. BRAVES WIN. BRAVES WIN. MARTE IS JUST SITTING ON HIS GLOVE IN LEFT FIELD IN DISBELIEF. Pirates don't have another winning season until 2032.

And then the Braves get swept in the Division Series by the Nationals.
