[MoreTrife]

Thank God. Now can knebel hold it? Doubtful.

[JohnBriggs12]

You don't bunt in that situation. You play for a big inning. Knebel won't hold a one run lead.

[markedman5]

It's going to really suck if Corey blows this now......lol

[TJseven7]

Same result if the bunt worked and they walked shaw... and it worked out just fine

[The stache]

Thank you, Domingo!!

 

Now, can we close it out in the ninth???

[adambr2]

LOL...great move Craig. Idiotic.

 

Actually it was a great idea. Terrible execution.

 

No, it really wasn't . Even if you execute well, which is clearly no certainty, you've got Shaw coming up who is a great hitter but definitely a high risk of a K with a man on 3rd and 1 out.

 

Much rather take 3 chances with a man RISP than 2 with a man on 3rd IF you execute .

 

And don't play for 1 run the way this pen has gone.

[Polish Falcons]

I've had it with these phillies fans in the front row staring at their phones all game.

[Matt1969]

I hope I am wrong, but I am expecting Knebel to blow the lead and lose the game.

[MoreTrife]

Odds knebel blows it? 2-1?

[wildcat83]

Sucking sure brings out the BF traffic. Before the break the IGT were 2-6 pages. Losing streak has been 6-10 pages. People need to vent

If knebel cant close a 1 run lead you deserve to lose.... you get the lead back... you dont manage like its hopeless unless you have a big lead.

[pacopete4]

Gosh darn it! Stop saying break-in-ball. I'm going to punch a flipping hole in my wall.

Feeling a 1, 2, 3 inning

[jjgott]

Just got back from seeing Dunkirk. Mankind has found its way out of tighter situations than this, although this game might be a close #2.

[TJseven7]

Good locations on k 1.

[MrTPlush]

Gosh darn it! Stop saying break-in-ball. I'm going to punch a flipping hole in my wall.

 

Augie's analysis is just brutal. Literally makes me cringe.

I feel like Andy Bernard.

[MrTPlush]

Odds knebel blows it? 2-1?

 

Odds >50% of comments in an IGT can actually be positive. 100000000-1?

[The stache]

My friend, Brett, knows Rollie Fingers. Should I put in a call? I am nervous about this last batter.

[The stache]

A .152 batter. Should.....never mind, not gonna say it.

[Est1970]

A win is a win is a win, right?

[markedman5]

Hope you weren't in Vegas

 

Great job Corey

[ReverendBrewmeister]

The streak is snapped. Gonna need another bottle of Rolaids, though.
