Just stupid good.

How is it I thought Mercer's first name was Jody this entire time?

[wallus]

So glad we didn't hitch our wagon to Chris Archer this off season or trade deadline...

 

I have never understood what anyone sees in this guy, so over rated.

 

[MrTPlush]

Lorenzo Cain is a GG lock in my opinion. Huge year, lots of media attention, and we are going to play in October.

 

But seriously Brian and Bill. It was a stellar catch. We don’t need to make it out to be a homerun robbery. You guys just sound like a bunch of blind idiots. Not even friggen close.

[PinaMadness]

Jordy Mercer is a power hitter BA? Must be a deceptive .387 SLG%

 

Warning track power

Just like Counsell.

Funny, I thought the same thing... even until I read your post.

[PinaMadness]

Manny V. Pina!

[sdcheezhd]

Anybody else having trouble getting the radio broadcast?

 

I did initially on mlb at bat. I was listening to the pirates broadcast until about halfway through the 1st. Then I was fine.

 

Thanks same here. In time for the HR calls at least!

 

Cain with the smile and hat tip, the best.

[wildcat83]

Lol, Pina off the wall in the gap, and has to sprint the whole way to leg out a double. The life of a catcher.

[topper09er]

Manny V. Pina!

 

You made me look it up. His middle name is Elias

And... same. Hah.

[MrTPlush]

I would have just bunted there. What are the odds even if Gio hits it to the OF Pina will even score? The OFers will play so shallow it’s stupidly unlikely Pina will score on a grounder.

 

Next up is a very speedy Cain who probably is more likely to hit an infield single to score someone from third.

Reds up 1-0 in the 4th on a Jose Peraza HR... not that I’m scoreboard watching.

2-0 as Votto goes deep.

[82brewcrew82]

Dodgers up 1-0 on a Puig homer.

[TURBO]

C'mon Gio…

 

I just HATE lead-off walks.

Yah that would be the key to choking the division away...losing to the Reds. Not something you really want to do to yourself.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Gio is not long for this game. Gonna get burned eventually.

[wildcat83]

Dodgers up 1-0 on a Puig homer.

 

Dodgers are the team I least want to see in the playoffs.

[PinaMadness]

If Gio doesn't start throwing strikes the bullpen might have to go four tonight. Walks way too many.

[adambr2]

I would not have a super long leash with Gio with his control tonight. Walks are a pretty quick way to let the Pirates back in this.

[Eye Black]

Agree, getting behind too many hitters tonight.

[TURBO]

If Gio doesn't start throwing strikes the bullpen might have to go four tonight. Walks way too many.

 

I hope they only have to go four, it could be 5 or 6 if Gio doesn't get his act together...

[jjfanec]

Feels like he might be lucky to go 4 at this rate
