Flowers has the baseball approach of a hockey player as well
Hahahaha. He'd be better off playing hockey.

I have a feeling that this will be Rodon's breakthrough game tonight. I'm think 7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K.
I feel the same. I'm guessing: 6.2 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 11 K.

I'm game casting, what happened? Game cast says he struck out swinging before he was ejected. What was his argument? Check swing?
He was called out on the check swing, then he threw his bat down in disgust and started screaming at the ump. Showalter had to run out to hold him back.

And the 4 runs he allowed in the first were compliments of Alexei. I don't know what you expect out of a 5th starter, but it apparently is an ERA below 1.00. The guy had not started a game in a couple of weeks and actually did pretty well.
I didn't see the game, I'm just looking at the box score. If those runs were compliments of Alexei, then why are all 5 of his runs earned? Wouldn't he be charged with 5 runs, 4 unearned and 1 earned if Alexei was to blame?

The last 5 innings he has pitched, he has not allowed a hit.
Well, in the 2 innings before that, he allowed 5 runs. What's your point?
He's just not very good. He'll eat innings, sure, but he's not that good.

If Leury Garcia gets called up I riot.
That wouldn't make any sense anyway.
They already have Beckham, Sanchez, and Bonifacio to cover the infield, and Shuck to cover the outfield.
Johnson or Thompson would be much more likely to be called up instead of Leury.
