Oppor is toast. Crazy to keep sending him out there for Birmingham at this point. Either send him back to AZ for a spa trip or at least get him to a lower level of competition.

Yikes, that's terrible then. You really can't be wrong in favor of the runner on a play like that.

TBH, I don't know if that really was the call. I only got that from Gordon who has been less than reliable on matters like that. For all I know, Will got bad advice from whatever staff member looks at the replays.

If that stolen base was officiated correctly, you not only get a run back, but you never need to go to Jordan Hicks because you're not losing at that point

Pretty solid series, I think the Sox looked like they are every bit as good if not better than them. Sox probably win this game if that call at 2B wasn't blown.

I wouldn't let these things totally control my thinking, but Quero has >100 points of OPS on Grichuk vs RHP this season

Well Grichuk is not nearly as likely to hit well against a RHP than against a LHP. To me it vindicates the decision not to use him in the previous inning.

Gonna be out but a good challenge

Now we're back to the umps gifting them the game with the bullshit on the SB

Damn it, Randal. You know we have to cut you why are you making this hard lmao

Mune should try blocking the base, I hear you can do that with impunity

Entering today, Colson was 1 for 18 with 12 K and 3 BB in his career at T-Mobile park. The one hit was a homer. I think he's a funky batter's eye victim.

Give me Joe Rock or give me death!

I would have preferred to see Luisangel tbh

I'm surprised to report that although it's still bad, Quero has been substantially more productive against RHP this season

Honestly I don't know why they pitched to Vargas

Every time I look into what they're doing over there, it looks bleak

Just got a touch more interesting.

Colson will be glad to leave this place. Part of the T-Mobile Park effect is a terrible batter's eye and I have a feeling it bothers some guys more than others.

Benchmark for this series was avoiding the sweep so we got there. This one felt winnable though. Team doesn't have the kind of bullpen depth to do too terribly many come from behind wins especially when the starter comes out early.

I've never seen his slider move like that before lmao. Very weird. 6 inches less horizontal break than his norm per Statcast and it didn't work out very well.

Okay now that's game lol

Wish the CHSN broadcasts would manage to tell me who is coming in from the pen before going to commercial

JRod is really good. He's been hitting pitcher's pitches all series.

Not an ideally located pitch from Newcomb but ultimately have to credit the kid for golfing that thing out
