A pint of Mead to all if we get to .500!

No Nasim vs the lefty? Jorbit instead.

LGJr tucked into the bottom of the order probably in the hope he faces a lefty only once or maybe twice.

Young held out. Could have LGJr and dh'd Lile or Wood

Montgomery is just the opener, so Vivas and Garcia 7 and 9 makes sense

Dammit, Irvin. 2-out rally started by a walk…

come on Jake

IdahoNat · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:00:16 pm »

Why did CJ hesitate there?

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:00:18 pm »

Dammit, CJ. This third out is elusive…

aspenbubba · « **Reply #8 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:00:30 pm »

How does Irvin get ahead of every batter 0-2 and then give up a walk and three straight hits.

Squab · « **Reply #9 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:00:44 pm »

CJ wtf dude, oh god the wheels are off

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #10 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:00:55 pm »

Five straight have reached with two outs. Time for the slam and we can call it a night…

Jake Irvin sucks. This guy basically being our ace is insane.

Well he gave up one less run in the first than his last start

Well that could have gone better but could have gone worse.

Yeah, more like #4.

Or #5, except that Mikolas occupies a spot.

Nice rebound by Irvin

imref · « **Reply #24 on:** April 15, 2026, 07:31:09 pm »

Reverse jinx worked. Irvin retires 7 in a row. Now score some freaking runs.
