No Zim, no Rendon, No Murphy, No Werth, Ross on the mound.  If we win this it's a minor miracle.

Honest question. Does Ross only have 1 pitch (fastball) to lefties?

Are all the Kelsey Grammer gifs for me?

[trangert418]

Probably wouldn't have changed the call but I would've challenged that

[varoadking]

Royce was telling Wilmer to stop showing him up by running hard, FP...

Probably an unwritten rule that when you're up by 5, ya don't challenge close calls.   

[varoadking]

This plate ump seems to be calling a good game...

We should have had a 7-game stolen base question in the Predictions.
Everyone would get it wrong...
BASERUNNING after 3rd inning
SB: T Turner 3 (21); M Taylor (4); B Harper (2) = 5 SB

Could add: When struggling, fall away to 3rd base when swinging and start a rumour you're injured.

More or less. Not giving the low strike.

But  ...   but   ...  but  ....  what about Espinosa's glove?

[awbb]

Pretty sure Lind was smiling in disbelief as he took that throw.

Insane stuff from Trea.

Ross may just be boss?

[awbb]

Ross may just be boss?

I think Ross needs validation from imref on his starts.

[NatsAllThe Way]

But  ...   but   ...  but  ....  what about Espinosa's glove?

Espi wouldn't have made it half way to the ball...  but he could put it through a brick wall.

I've settled on White Lightnin'...

[NatsAllThe Way]

2 more SB's for Trea?

[mitlen]

I've settled on White Lightnin'...

Keep thinkin' about Merle Haggard.
