This RISP thing is really uncanny...

It's be a long time since I've seen a team so un-clutch. They aren't even making productive outs.

Hey, they are just getting all of their ineptitude out of the way now so that they can be completely the opposite in September and October.

If Cainer gives up a score tying hit to a .212 hitter I'm going to swallow my phuking tongue....

 

[SFGRTB]

Could be the last batter for Cainer.

Gonor may be hitting well, but he has to look Espinoza back. He didn't even glance. His D is what is going to cost him this job, ultimately.

 

[calsnowskier]

C'mon blue, he leaned into that one

That is called, league wide, MAYBE once per season. Why even have it on the books if it is never called?

It was a tough play because of the speed of Turner, but yeah just a quick glance is all he needed. Who knows, maybe he would've blown the throw though without his concentration.

He's probably gone regardless, with EA and Duffy back next week.

I saw it called in a Blue Jays game a couple weeks ago, so it's probably exhausted until next year.

There's a lot of rules in the book that fall under this umbrella.

 

[calsnowskier]

When was the last time you saw an active bully in the fifth for a guy contending for a complete game? And no one is surprised to see the activity...

 

[tzill]

you really have to wonder if Boch is going to send Cainer back out there in the sixth. He's at 93 pitches with the 3-4-5 hitters due up.

The tongue survives another inning.

Nope, Bum up to pinch hit.

5.0 no-hit innings for Cain lol

He has no range and no quickness, but at least he has a noodle-arm.

Yup. The interference/obstruction rule on the basepaths was NEVER called at home. They had to create a whole new rule just to enforce what was already there.

Bum!!!

 

[SFGRTB]

BUM!

I'd wager $50 this has never happened before in the history of the game. Pinch hitting for a pitcher throwing a no-no through five with another SP.

 

[tzill]

BUM!

Piece of evidence #4529 why Bochy is so, so much smarter than we are.

And then a pitcher pinch running for said pitcher

0-9
