why the freak didn't he just put him on 1st?

[mitlen]

Suero will pitch in this game after the rest of our guys pitched in the first game

I'm breakin' out the opioids.

Bummer...

[tomterp]

Harper is hitting a homer here.

Harper owns Strickland

MSP

[mitlen]

He had a good view of it too.

That's on Martinez. 

[mitlen]

Get some

[bluestreak]

I’d like to say I’m clairvoyant but that was so obvious. The booing, lefty-righty, the history and you knew Strickland was going to challenge him like a dumbass.

He should have just hit him.

[nfotiu]

Bummer, yeah, but I was going to be a little disappointed in Strickland if he kept throwing 6 inches outside and you don't really want to give a free pass to bring the tying run to the plate late.   That made for a bad pitch sequence though, slowly moving towards turbo zone.  He can have his HR and hopefully watch us celebrate a WC at the end of the game.

[Slateman]

5 straight fastballs

Its all he has against leftied

[sixthree175]

Is that Buckhantz in the 1st row behind home plate.  And is that his wife?

Two run game in a playoff race. You absofreakinglutely give him a free pass.

[mitlen]

He should have just hit him.

     I was thinkin' the same thing.

No, walking him with nobody on is bad juju. Srickland challenged him and lost. But I'd like to see more runs for the good guys!

[mitlen]

Is that Buckhantz in the 1st row behind home plate.  And is that his wife?

That's mitlen and spider.

[trangert418]

That was the perfect match up for

Yea, walks are way worse than home runs

With a 3-0 count, it's a NO BRAINER.  Martinez is the dumb ass.

Bring in a lefty is probably the right move.  Free base runners with a 2 run lead in the 7th is not ideal.

[Slateman]

Can Soto be back please?

[Slateman]

Bring in a lefty is probably the right move.  Free base runners with a 2 run lead in the 7th is not ideal.

We dont have a lefty
