Hahaha Camera shows guy who looks like Ringo Starr and JD says "Ringo's in the house again." Len follows that with a Ringo impression of "he hit that ball well" in reference to Rizzo's HR
They were all over that dude the other night too. Said he looked like a combination of Ringo Starr and Wayne Messmer.
Jeimer Candelario 2-4 with HR and double now stands at .316/.435/.671 (1.106 OPS). Lapping the field at Iowa.
Speaking of BABIP, his is unsustainable able. So remember these good times when he comes back to earth
pffft no chance Yeah Brett Anderson really sucks. Why they didn't wait an additional 15-20 minutes to start this game is beyond me.
Getting our asses kicked sucks but when Joe does stuff like put Miggy and 1st, Willy at 3rd, and Schwarbs back behind the plate that makes it kinda fun at least.
Lester starts the 2 out rally. Javy gets a hit. Schwarbs caps it off. Him and Javy get going look out. Now a triple from KB. Cycle watch. He's got the two hardest parts out of the way.
I'm still shocked he didn't completely fuck us in a playoff game last year. Was actually really good in the postseason.
I LOL'ed when Schwarber hit that. Our office wannabe baseball expert was calling for him to be benched earlier today.
I think we've lead the majors in players getting thrown out in home multiple seasons since he's been here. Don't quote me on that but I remember reading something similar once, and it sure seems like it watching the games. My problem isn't the close ones, my issue is with the ones where the runner is thrown out by 5-10 feet. That shouldn't happen.
Good to see Javy heating up. Schwarber knocking one out was nice, too. Sure would be welcome to see a starter go 2 innings scoreless.
The starting rotation was nothing short of amazing last season. They pitched a ton of innings. curious how much of the early struggle is the team telling them to cruise and how much of it is guys a little fatigued
Common good thing. I have a guy locally who is somehow plugged in to overstock stuff including real deal Majestic Cubs jerseys. He already got me a standard home Bryant and has a gold WS Rizzo ordered for me. He charges $50. If anyone is interested pm me, I'll see if I can work with him. I make no promises but I figured I may as well offer.
Make that two. His defense has been atrocious tonight. Also, fuck these well struck deep fly balls. Give me warm weather damnit.
Our luck is shit tonight. Arrieta's got his best stuff all year and a lot of little things have went the Phillies' way.
He went yard last night but yeah he's scuffling. A couple days off probably wouldn't hurt. Maybe sit him against lefties for a bit.
Duensing has looked like he could end up being a decent middle reliever after that awful second appearance.
