Yes!

 

[Silkworm]

Breath out..... damage contained.

 

[Meier]

On my way to see Gravity. Man, Clay is really laboring tonight. May only get 5 innings from him.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Win probability back in the double digits!

Aand back to single digits

 

[Jubs]

Can't believe it's only the start of the fifth inning. Feels like hours have passed.

His command of the strike zone has been quite erratic at times. Oh well, luckily he's been given some meaningful run support.

Edit: Man I want to see Gravity as well. Maybe next weekend....

well its coming up on 2 hours

 

[CygnusXS]

Just give them three innings against the bullpen.

 

[ratcliffja]

Clayton may only be good through one more inning, but I'm sure they'll try to get him through the sixth if this lead doesn't shrink by the end of the 5th.

 

[Silkworm]

So Medlen is still pitching. Nice!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

CLASSLESS

 

[brianjones]

hit the bench

 

[Windu]

about time freddy

Gonzalez giving a TV interview while his starting pitcher implodes...

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Why the fuck was he even allowed to start that inning.

Manager interviews are taped between innings.

CLASSLESS

He meant to hit Puig?

 

[Jubs]

I'm convinced a manager's IQ drops when the playoffs start.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

He meant to hit Puig?

Look at the game situation. His team finally just got a run for him and he just gave up a lead-off single. He's not trying to hit anybody. His control has been total shit since the 2nd inning.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

He meant to hit Puig?

I'm just kidding around. It was accidental.

 

[ratcliffja]

He meant to hit Puig?

I didn't see it since I can't watch it while at work, but I really doubt he'd intentionally hit a batter in the postseason. I'm sure his frustration led to a lack of control, though.

 

[Silkworm]

I wasn't sure what he meant by "classless". I'm viewing this via graphical depiction on a computer so I'm unaware of how the situation is actually unfolding. Seemed bizarre to call it classless given the game situation (and Puig hasn't been rocking Medlen) so that's why I asked. Should have know it was meant tongue in cheek *whoops, sorry*

The juxtaposition is just amusing to me...

What makes you think they have decent IQs the rest of the time?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

What the fuck, Ayala. You had him dead at third base.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I'm convinced a manager's IQ drops when the playoffs start.

Or dumb managers don't adapt to the differences between regular season baseball and playoff baseball.

 

[brianjones]

walking shu for ellis? ok

well i just got schooled

 

[suffah]

What the fuck, Ayala. You had him dead at third base.

Yea that was pretty lame.

 

[Jubs]

What makes you think they have decent IQs the rest of the time?

They don't. But come playoff time, they reach new levels of stupidity that I didn't think even existed.

That's not your fault. I probably should've put something in there to make it seem in jest. Someone was going to call it out eventually.

 

[Silkworm]

What to do now. Bases loaded with Kershaw and 2 outs. Hmmmm. Let him hit I guess though tempting to put in a pitch hitter.

Edit: No problem, Harry. I should have realized it sooner before I typed.

 

[suffah]

Zack would get a hit here.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Get yourself some more runs Kersh.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Would be huge if they could fucking get out of this.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Damn.

 

[Jubs]

YES! Good job striking out the pitcher.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Two hours in and we're still only in the bottom of the 5th.

I don't know how i am going to make it through work tomorrow.

 

[CygnusXS]

Wonder who they pinch hit with.

GODSTANZA!

 

[CygnusXS]

BJ

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Hey look it's B.J.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I don't know how i am going to make it through work tomorrow.

Go to sleep when this game is over and you should be fine...

Spoiler

that happened an hour ago

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yes, let's use B.J. Upton here, who hit worse against lefties this season.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Thanks for showing up tonight, B.J.

 

[shwimpy]

poor bj. :lol

 

[brianjones]

184 ba

that's amazing

I thought hairstons 211 was bad

 

[Jubs]

What a surprise. BJ struck out.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

lol the whole stadium booing the shit out of Upton

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Kershaw still got it.

 

[Silkworm]

Interesting but we'll see how much longer he lasts

Clayton Kershaw has thrown 88 pitches but has plenty left in the tank, with his fastball sitting at 94 over the past 10 pitches.
