Yeah you gotta fit Grichuk in there somewhere in this scenario

Colson was probably hoping to see Munoz considering how the ABs against Castillo went

Keep the ball off the ground. So like...don't swng at his changeup below the zone you dummy!

Castillo about to fake an injury

If Miguel had to leave the game you're looking at Derek Hill playing 2nd base or something goofy like that

Bunt with Colson here, right?

Jacob Gonzalez...welcome to the show

Son of a b****

Okay but...it's 1-0 and you have two power hitting lefties coming up lol

Do they not have any more lefties in the pen??

The offense-suppressing effect of T-Mobile Park is unfortunately real

Well, if you hold them here you have the right guys coming up in T9

Time to turn and burn on one Sam

Edgar, please. They are going to throw high fastballs until you do something with them. At least hit the ones that miss down the middle.

If they had called him out Venable would have to go nuclear. Slide beat the ball by plenty but he was nearly out because Naylor blocked him. My reading of the rule is he just can't do that unless the throw was bad and pulled him in the way

Hard to tell but it looks like he may be safe anyway?

Surely illegal to block the bag like that, right?

Pitch 1 missed up, pitch 2 missed low (both of them barely, to be fair, but it's rough when the ump is expanding the zone both ways)

They seriously need to sit down and talk to the guys about leverage and the situations when it most makes sense to use a challenge. 2 outs, 0-0 count, non-RISP, 7th inning, platoon advantage...you just cannot be wrong on a challenge there because you stand to gain so little.

Saving those challenges at the plate so Edgar can piss them away in situations like this

This is surely going to be a hellacious jinx but Davis has vastly exceeded my expectations. What a revelation

Brutal umpiring in the Meidroth AB

Kelenic with another barreled out lol

65mph bat speed on the homer, sheesh. Stick the bat out and get rewarded!

Problem with two pitch repertoire is once the at bat gets long, the batter has seen it a lot and has a 50-50 shot at guessing what it's gonna be
