Bringing the infield in in a 7-1 game is hilarious

Chris Woodward is just all kinds of weird. The same guys who got pissed at Tatis swinging 3-0 in a 8 run game.

Remember when Woodward got his panties in a bunch when Tatis swung 3-0 with a 6 run lead? 
They will throw at Eaton for bunting there

@fathom - Where you at brother?  You are missing some base-running magic?!

That was really good baserunning by Nick

TLR cant pull Kopech now. Not now  with this lead, the boys want him to get his win.

That's the exact reason to pull him.  The big picture is more important.

If Steiver is coming in I’ll take the run. Actually helps a lot 

I think there's a way better shot of scoring there by just swinging the bat. If it wasn't for Madrigal's base running there, we don't even score. That wasn't a good bunt.

4D chess from TLR, practicing critical playoff execution in an early spring laugher.

How bout that SMART baserunning by Madrigal there.

Nick has that ability. One of my favorite posters said Madrigal is the stupidest baserunner he had ever seen. I really hope that crow is a pretty big one if and when it's officially on the plate.

Just wait until something bad happens, he‘ll show up

Coincidence that Fathom hasn't been posting in this game thread and it's a blow out?

I like putting that in the scouting report.  This is the kind of game we can fuck around a bit if we want.  Texas is probably going to pitch a position player the way this is going.

Yoan is the only professional athlete I’ve ever seen that looks like he’s in pain every time he does anything remotely athletic. Makes 0 sense

wouldn't even hate getting lamb into the game later.

 

there's also a non-zero chance we get to face a position player pitching today as well

I would consider PR for Moncada and moving Leury to 3B.  No reason to risk anybody's legs right now.

Madrigal telling all the haters to shove it. Me included.

I see and raise you Anthony Fucking Davis. Chicago's own.

A little early, continue to pile on and sub the regulars out in the 6th or so

Yeah, he's taking my spot quickly as the gamethread jinxer.

If he can play a quality fundamental game he will be a good enough starting player.  He's had a good couple games in a row.  

Yet, if he has a couple bad games in a row you're all over him. Hmmm....

Texas should just concede, LL style.

Why bring Kopech out with a 7 run lead? Stiever, Ruiz and Foster should be able to get through the game while still getting the key guys rest

But they aren’t worried about his health here, just his command and stretching him out. If they can get further down that road with low risk of a loss, awesome
