Kennedy threw 29 pitches in the 1st and now we're through 3 and Darvish has thrown more pitches. WTF?

My goodness.....We're having a huge storm in Gun Barrel City, and it's coming right outta the east.

Rains your way nearly everyday it seems

Talk about a tailor made double play

Scoring big for Darvish again it appears

Tell ya what. I've not needed the lake fed sprinkler system yet.

It's frigging mid July, and I know I don't need said system for another 5-7 days easy. ha

That's amazing. But ya know, this seems to be a recurring story in ML pitching forever. Certain pitchers get runs, and others don't.....Pretty weird stat.....And it's not like since 2003 is much different than 1964.....It's just one of those anomalies of life.

Careful, your talking about Eph's favorite player.

That's the truth!

We really do depend on the HR way too damn much

 

[Bmurph]

Napoli HR's and Lucroy singles and that is it for Kennedy

Yup

This always being right - insert Nap's HR here - must be an incredible burden to tote.

Crazy anomoly

Absolutely; and I love it. That's what makes the great game, at least in part, the great game.

I mean seriously. Shit happens in baseball constantly, which totally defies outlier/unexplainable/law of averages or physics.

Someday, I'm gonna go to the Happy Hunting Ground feeling blessed. ha ha ha

That sun is looking like a mfer there

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

i would've been OK pulling Darvish after the single.

 

[donaldson79]

It's been a challenge the entire game.

Mazara with an unbelievable fuck up out there
