Good lord 

Nicky -3000 DRS 

Nick has to put that ball in his pocket

My name is Jim and I despise being called Jimmy.  It’s bothering me to even hear it and see it typed.  I may have a problem.  ?

Well if they are they must secretly hate Tony cause we're at -12 runs from bad calls this year.

Nick was probably the 3rd most person at fault there

How is that an error by nick? He was running on full speed to that ball and throwing while running away from the base. 

Throw wasn't great but he would have been safe anyway had nick not tried that very difficult throw.

Say what you want about Ricky, but he always had his guys back

I'll take LaRussa's track record over Ricky's gang banging skills.

 

Ball.Destroyed.

Beyond stupid to pitch to him there

Sorry about that Jimbo

We let Jose Ramirez beat us again for the 500th time. The rest of the lineup is garbage, just put him on

Just walk the guy Jesus.

Should be a infield single with an error on the throw to get the runner to 2nd.

Let Ramirez beat you, and he will. Way to go Tony,

Why?

Another meatball

Uh, at least these hits haven’t been hard I guess

Idiot

And of course it leads to more damage...giveth, and taketh away.

The plus here is that we might get Clase to close the game, he only throws 100-101.

Runner got to 2nd.

Boy that’s hard to believe 

Now I'm starting to see how Lambert was bad in Charlotte.

No reason to pitch to Ramirez, heck, even if you have to force the runner to second...

Can’t let Ramirez keep beating you. 

Lambert not fooling anyone 2 time through it seems.
