The bottom of the order has hurt Contreras today, so why let him go out there and face their fast and good contact hitters? Our bullpen is well rested, this should be a Cotts inning.

paulie gives us the lead next inning.

 

 

rally paulie

paulie gives us the lead next inning.

I have a feeling Everett's going to lean into one.

Got to keep them off the score board here, it's going to be hard to score off escobar again.

 

EDIT: Also, Jose needs to be done, didn't have much today but still kept us in the game. GO TO THE PEN OZ

well done crede.

2 bad swings by guch / dye.

 

paulie for the lead .

I have a feeling Everett's going to lean into one.

 

yeah I just hope he makes good contact doing it this time

Will someone please tell our hitters that Escobar has a splitter?

 

I wish it was as easy as just knowing. ESPECIALLY with that bulls*** strike zone that inning.

i think im gonna loose a few years off my life watching this game

THIS.IS.DUMB.

AAAHHHHGGGGRRRRRR

 

i cant believe contreras is still out there!

I wish it was as easy as just knowing. ESPECIALLY with that bulls*** strike zone that inning.

 

Yeah, but Iguchi had to know the splitter was coming. I think 99 pct of the viewing audience knew what pitch was coming.

bad pitch to swing at Gooch, why is Duque warming  when we have Cotts and Politte?

Because if we can get 2-3 scoreless out of El Duque, that gives us our best pitchers available should the game go to Extra Innings. And if El Duque gets in trouble...we have backup for him in the form of Cotts and Politte.

 

Which would you prefer, El Duque getting into trouble in the 8th with Cotts and Politte both available, or El Duque getting into trouble in the 12th with Cotts and Politte already used up?

Leaving in Jose will bite us

If the leadoff man gets on, we need to get in Cotts.

Bustin out the old music. I love it.

Rivera has hit two rockets off of Contreras so far.

LOL FOX Is Playing Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers

Let's get Politte and Cotts warmed up.

You don't play for extra innings, you play for the 7th, 8th and 9th.

did they play the old chicago fight song this year before the turn back the clock weekend vs LA ?

NO NO NO NO NO...not Count!!

Is our Bp inactive or what? It's ok to use them Oz, there not that bad

2-0, not a good start. Get Rivera count.

Contreras is behind every damn batter.

This strikezone is gonna be bulls*** this inning. Get ready for it.
