Game Thread: 8/6 Champs @ Chubbs

[calsnowskier]

Both managers treating it like a playoff game, and rightly so. Maybe will be the same all series.

No question these games (the 7 against the Cubs) appear to be the most important games of the season.

1st and 2nd no outs (before that one), they gotta score at least 1 this inning

Terrible AB by Shark there. Awful.

I nominate the remaining Dodger games

Nice stop

Those are big, but we are in a closer battle with the Cubbies.

I would feel so much more confidant with Panik on deck than I do with Aoki.

And more so if Aoki were at bat there instead of Pagan.

 

[msgkings322]

2 outs, up to Aoki

 

[tzill]

Antoher terrible AB by Oxy. Just a crap fest now.

Golden opp to get back into it wasted.

 

[calsnowskier]

Aoki 6-31 since coming back

 

[calsnowskier]

Might as well keep Blanco in the game, right? Better lineup position and better defense.

 

[calsnowskier]

Clem just took the words out of my mouth...

Classic Aoki AB.

Gotta give credit to Maddon there, he went with the SABR move and it paid off.

 

[SFGRTB]

That was on Blanco and Pagan. Needed some small ball there.

 

[calsnowskier]

Frustrating.

If only this team could do something with RISP.

I always thought his manager skills were wasted in the AL.

This.

Two bad, worthless ABs.

I am willing to forgive Blancos, since PHing is hard, and Blanco has been quite good this year.

Pagan... ???

Most runs in MLB with 2-outs. Didn't happen there, but just sayin'

2 of the 3 best managers in the game were in the ALE last year. Maddon and Showwalter are the guys I would want if Noggin were to retire.

We all see it, they see it too. Pagan has to be dealt with somehow, wouldn't you think?
