Yes, I'm just assuming Bell doesn't touch first base first if Antonacci wasn't right in front of him with nowhere to go

Once he's out of the baseline, he's out. But if he would have run to second, they would have just turned a conventional double play

Well by then it was just a desperation play to try to stall for the run to get home before a tag out but it was all over anyway. I think he was unsure whether 1B ever got tagged so he hoped Bell would chase him into the bullpen rather than get the third out

no-win situation there. You don't know if he's going to catch it on the fly but if he does, you have to get back to first. If he doesn't, then you're boned either way

He's clearly swinging for contact

Okay we just need some contact from....Munetaka Murakami

Two strike bunt is insane to me

Interesting decisionmaking to let Banda pitch to Grichuk but not Hill. I wonder if their data says Grichuk can't handle heat.

Ballsy play to go to second by Vargy and it looks like it will pay off bigly

ah, I'm off my game. Yeah he's never gone 3 in a row in his career AFAIK

They get a good break to start the inning

Kinda surprised they're not getting Seranthony loose

I sure hope they had some video that we weren't seeing on CHSN because otherwise I have some serious concerns about the competence over in New York

uh what?

All according to plan

Romo not seeing the sweeper too well

"He fuckin stuck his foot out!" says Ryan

Schriff says Venable is really excited about the bottom 3 in the order. I guess he's a masochist.

Burke has been as good as Ryan through 7 really. Main difference is the ordering of the hits and that one of them was right down the line instead of a few feet closer to the outfielder. Of course we're expecting Ryan to go even longer.

I'm okay taking the risk with Burke here given how unbeatable Ryan has been looking. See if you can give the pen another inning of rest.

Great play by 2B and Ryan. All set up by the horrific strike call on the first pitch that forces Mune to chase that.

Ump really sucks

Ump sucks

Great outing from Burke.

Peters is the perfect 5th outfielder. Unfortunately I think we already have that player and his name is Derek Hill
