6/18 Non Brewer game thread

[adamb100]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Cubs game. Prior is on the mound finally.

[brewerjamie15]

Yeah, but for how long? What is the magic inning untill his arm explodes? I'll bank on #3.

 

Let's hope he gets the loss. Let's hope the Astros lose too.

 

edit: and the Reds and the Pirates and the Cards.

[COOOOP]

I want the Pirates to win (so the Cubs can rightfully claim last place).

talk about walking a thin line..

 

Florida pitcher Josh Johnson has loaded the bases twice in 2 innings against the powerful Toronto line up and only given up 1 run. In the first the first 3 guys reached against him before he got Glaus to ground into a double play (1-2-3), walked Overbay to again load the bases and then struck out Hinske.

In the 2nd Toronto loaded the bases with 1 out. Zaun grounded reached on an error scoring one. Johnson then sat down Wells and Glaus on strikes.

Welcome back Mr. Prior.

Lead off HR, single, error on a sac bunt. Solid start.

[Cdiddy34]

haha now a 3 run HR

4-0 one out in the first

[DHonks]

wow, crazy one for Fla vs Tor. Johnson has allowed 6 hits, 6 bb, and 1 hbp in 5 innings...only 1 run!

[tomwopat]

Prior is getting lit up like a weekend barbecue.

[Cdiddy34]

Toronto has left.... 22 on base through 5.

[DHonks]

Toronto has left.... 22 on base through 5.

 

very misleading. There's two ways to calculate LOB. There's team LOB, and individual LOB. With the bases loaded and no outs, if all three hitters strikeout, then the team left 3 on base, but each player will show 3 LOB.

[adamb100]

Wow, Prior gave up 8 longballs.

[heresrobin]

adamb100, I believe the Cubs pitchers gave up 8 longballs total. Prior "only" gave up 4 of them. He went 3 and 2/3, giving up 7 runs, and threw 88 pitches. Regardless of who gave up the homeruns, Cubs are bad, and that's good. One of these games we'll see a good outing from either Wood or Prior. One of these days.

 

Also, if any of you get a chance, check out the Mets vs. Orioles highlights. The Orioles leftfielder tries fielding a sharply hit single and the ball bounces up into his sleeve, through his shirt, and out the back of his shirt by the back of his neck. I've never seen anything like it.

Yikes Oakland is red hot again even without Harden. 10 in a row now.
