He's just so clutch. How could you not vote for Javy Baez for MVP after the September/October he's having?

[bigredrobbo]

I have the resting heartbeat of a 6 year old on Red Bull at the moment!

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Nice job ESPN.

 

No Shaw for Schhop there?

[TURBO]

He sure puts a great tag on though...

[adambr2]

Sheesh, we had one out before we even got back from commercial.

[SRB]

3 inning game. Is it Hader for Rizzo? I mean, I think you may have to use him. Even in a tie...

 

Let Soria go 1.1 IP, we might still have a game tomorrow

[Fear The Chorizo]

Nice job ESPN.

 

No Shaw for Schhop there?

 

yeah, I thought the same

[YelichPosse]

I cant stand Chavez.

 

I dont know why.

 

I just cant.

[Ennder]

Stupid bullpen management on both sides it appears. Lovely

 

I don't really have a problem with how Counsell has managed his bullpen so far.

 

I think he has pretty much managed it exactly the way it should be. The only way we really lose today is if we burn our bullpen and lose the game. That is such an awful outcome that you can't risk it, especially this early in the game.

[MoreTrife]

Not sure how we're going to score again.

[MrTPlush]

Knebel up....here we go. Buckle in fellas.

[pacopete4]

Some good pitching and defense going on today. Fun game!

[Greenleaf1]

Nice recovery by Soria. Will Counsell stick with him in the 7th, or is the plan for Knebel in the 7th, Jeffress in the 8th, and Hader in the 9th?

That strike 2 call to Mouse was garbage.

[IntentionalHBP]

We NEED to score runs quickly.

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Knebel has been amazing, but I do not like him against Rizzo, but especially Bryant.

[KeithStone53151]

That strike 2 call to Mouse was garbage.

 

Yeah it was bad, led to him expanding on that pitch a shade further outside.

[pacopete4]

MV-Kratz pretending to tie his shoes so this inning doesn't go so fast. Veteran grit at its finest.

 

And then grounds out.

[adambr2]

When I said Chavez couldn't go 4 innings today, I was kind of assuming we would make him throw more than 5 pitches an inning.

[brewcrewdue80]

Schoop's ABs just terrible, This is worse than Arcia bad ABs. And just like that, inning over...think Braun/Jesus had poor ABs still?

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Every inning is important, but this bottom half seems extremely so to me.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Those three outs were wasted quickly.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Offense pathetic. But if we hold again, we get lead off 8th with PH, Cain, Yeli, Braun. Getting through this 1/2 is big. I think the next 6 outs are a good chance to win the game. But this is going to be rough.

[IntentionalHBP]

Looks like Yeli has to carry the offense at least one more game.
