Nice swinging bunt Jimmy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) Sale's ERA under 1.50 now. Pitch count in the mid-80's. Hate this decision coming up for Ventura...if he "sails" through the 8th, I hope to god Ventura leaves him in and doesn't bring Robertson into the game. Sale's the best pitcher in the world right now, and we really need this game, about as much as any game this season so far. Robin should be grilled if he takes Sale out under those circumstances. Even if he's at 100+ pitches.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:50 PM) Please get an insurance run. He's pitching a great game Seriously. It's not like we're facing the best pitching staff in the game or anything.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:45 PM) I think Abreu did way worse than Sanchez. Atleast Sanchez made contact. Abreu went up there and swatted at two terrible pitches. Someone tell him you can take pitches...

We suck.

It's like our hitters are trying to hit very differently since we got a guy on third. Whatever they're doing isn't working. Weak contact and no contact is not what you want...

Wow. We went from probably scoring in the inning to almost no shot. Abreu has no damn plan up there. It's pathetic.

If we strand him we might as well pack it up for the night. Middle of the order and can't get the run in from third with nobody out? You don't deserve to win.

A lot of these OFer sleep on Eaton's power. Hicks did it in NY. Springer did last night and Marisnick did tonight.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 19, 2016 -> 08:35 PM) Good job with pitch count these past few innings for Sale With the way Chris is pitching, he's only exerting maximum effort on a few pitches per AB. So even if he was higher in pitch count, I'd trust him to throw 110-120 pitches.

Gotta work the count on McHugh so we can get to their bullpen.

Hard to believe that Sands has had the best at bats against McHugh so far.

Please stop swinging at his 58 foot curveballs. Some of these pitches aren't even close.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 18, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) Almost makes me wish Pitch Trax wasn't there, it's frustrating to see all the blown calls every game, there's too many of them. I think pitch trax is really helping us see that umpires are mostly awful at calling strikes.

Good thing Fister sucks today too.

Offense needs to score some tonight. Latos is awful again.

Outside of a poor April last year, Eaton's played out of his mind. I think it's almost safe to say he's a 5 win player now. Especially in right field.

Latos needs to right the ship here. He's had absolutely nothing his last few starts.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 18, 2016 -> 12:04 AM) 7.09 (a) - It is interference by a batter or runner when: After a third strike he clearly hinders the catcher in his attempt to field the ball. Such batter-runner is out, the ball is dead, and all other runners return to the bases they occupied at the time of the pitch; And just to clarify. In the case of Correa, since he was already out, he can't be called out again. So because he interfered with the throw, the base runner would be called out.

Albers' FIP has doubled in the past week. Unbelievable...

How come other teams replay every f***ing thing imaginable and get every review they ask for and we can't do s***?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2016 -> 11:15 PM) Yep it's definitely masking the bigger issues. Team is just giving up too many two strike, two out runs We need some better pitch calling.

Adam's got some great warning track pop lol Too bad we don't have another catcher. I don't like the Avila Sipp matchup.

God damn this bullpen.

So close to walking them off!
