Game Thread: 7-31 Scrabble @ Philth (Trade Deadline Game)

[Stokes1931]

That was a fun inning!

Now for a SDI, please.

 

[Stokes1931]

One more inning, Scrabs.

Then Melancon, Dyson, and Smith.

Say what?

My guess is Moronta, Watson and Smith.

This.


Bochy has orders from the top to not let the bully lose the game today.


No

Matter

Ask and ye shall receive.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Wish that were true in all things all the time.

Maddux retired after the 2008 season. Things may have changed a little since then. Even in his era, he was pretty unique.

Only the last 8yrs of his 22 did they count pitches. 13/inn vs Bum at 15


22yrs! wow

 

[Stokes1931]

Scrabble at 90 pitches. Does he begin the 7th or not?

 

[Stokes1931]

Ah, it is Watson for the 7th

Watson, Moronta, Smith

L, R, L

 

[Stokes1931]

Leadoff walks. No bueno!

 

[calsnowskier]

Ruh roh...

He pitched a gem, in a hitters park. Can the depleted pen bring it home?

I am full of confidence and ambivalence (among other things I am full of, so I have been told).

 

[Stokes1931]

Whew.

Giving up only one run with the way that inning started?

 

[Mays-Fan]

We gained on the Phils, Nats, Dbags.

Go A's. Go Cards.

Could be one and a half if the Cards beat the Cubs.

Dbags threw in the towel dealing Greinke.

Looks like 5 teams chasing 2 spots.

19-6 in July. Unbelievable

Last possibility is the Mets. They are playing well now.

Bullpen depth is a concern. We dealt away 4 if you include Black.

Trusting that the FO has identified some replacements.

Pomeranz was barely there. Black sucked and couldn't stay healthy. Dyson will be missed, a bit, and Melancon too.

But they had the depth to do this. A big 7th 8th 9th of Watson Moronta Smith is still top level, and they have Gott and other legit arms as well. Shed all that dead salary with Melancon. And I trust FZ on the Dyson return.

 

[pachyderm]

Holy shit! Buster busts one!


edit: and Panda tooooooooo

He definitely owed us one after that K with the bases loaded.
