Good guys, 4-2

LWJ back tomorrow.

 

[LHG]

@msgkings322 has already guaranteed a win tonight.

It will be interesting to see how LWJ fits on the roster. I would guess Yermin is sent back down.

Don't you put that evil on me! I said my record attending games is solid like .600 or so

But I feel good about tonight with Rodon. Will he be the Sunday pitcher vs the White Sox his old team?

Edit: just looked, it will be Disco. I wonder if that was by design to not have him face them.

Good chance of winning . . . predicting a win. Its the same. Should we expect a perfect game from Rodon or just a no-hitter?

I'm thinking a 27 pitch perfect game.

Don't be late, you may miss the whole thing!

Not a single immaculate inning? The bum.

 

[msgkings322]

Not a single immaculate inning? The bum.

Too many pitches to get 3 outs.

 

[LHG]

Rodon threw more than one pitch to the first batter. This game is over.

I'm out.

Mercedes with his first hit as a Giant

 

[tzill]

I phuking LOVE Rodon...

 

[tzill]

Yaz we can!

4-0 good guys

 

[tzill]

Aaaannnnnd...here comes the bullpen
I'm turning this off before I get angry.

Will check in later.

PHUK YOU BREBBIA

 

[Stokes1931]

Hey Kap! Your "relief" pitcher just walked two guys, and the last four pitches weren't close. So you choose to leave him in?!?

And you're STILL leaving him in to face a lefty?!?

Hope we hang on to our once four run lead, now down to one run.

Hey Kap! Now he's walked the bases loaded. NOW can you take him out?!? (26 pitches, only 12 strikes)

 

[Stokes1931]

Finally! The 3rd out in the 8th!

Let's get another run or three.

Or least preserve the lead in the 9th.

Good to have you back Stokes. How have you been?

 

[LHG]

Weird way to end the game. Didn't see the play. Was the Tigers' manager correct on the challenge?

Nope he was out, the 1Bs toe was almost off the bag but might as well challenge, game is over anyway

 

[msgkings322]

Rodon was dealing until....third time through the order. It's like clockwork.

Cabrera that old guy can still hit. He should have been 3 for 4 but Yaz made a terrific catch to take away a double in the gap. Yaz also showed off his cannon with the outfield assist, dude was out by 10 feet. He's a spectacular fielder (and had a 2 run single)

Fun game even with the bullpen shakiness. Doval is legit, felt pretty good when he came in bases loaded 2 outs in the 8th

I disagree that it was a terrific catch.

He took an Eugenio Velez route on the play. He leapt because he was out of position.
