Game Thread: 7/5 Cards @ Cueto

[LHG]

Cueto's pitch count has been trending better:

1st inning - 28 pitches, 4 runs
2nd inning - 13 pitches, 1 run
3rd inning - 8 pitches, 0 runs
4th inning - 13 pitches, 0 runs

At this rate, he may go 6 innings.

Is that 2 FPOMs from Cutch to start the game? I know how he prefers to lose...

 

[LHG]

Would you rather lose 5-2 or lose in a historic perfect game?

5-2 doesn't sting as much. The offense doesn't look quite as inept.

But history!

 

[LHG]

With Cueto so close to 80 pitches, I'd be a bit surprised to see him come back out to start the 6th.

 

[LHG]

And he doesn't. Hopefully, Blach can shut this team down.

 

[msgkings322]

So obviously that first inning sucked and cost us the game. But after that Cueto showed us he is ready to pitch. He'll be fine.

Does Stratton go down over the weekend, when Samardzija is activated? Or does he move to the bullpen and Blach go down?

I think Stratton, don't convert him to a reliever and mess with his head. Have him pitch every 5th day in the minors.

Other than a couple good innings from Cueto, this game has been awful.

Pence is in! This shutout is over!

 

[msgkings322]

Is it bad that I kinda wanted to see a perfect game? Oh well, moot now.

That was such a 2018 Pence AB, lol

You got Gorked.

He's just pulling one over on them, will catch them sleeping in his next AB.

 

[msgkings322]

Hey the bats awaken! Too late for this game but shit if yer gonna lose the perfecto, go big!

 

[msgkings322]

At least the Diamondbacks have been kind enough to suck as much as we have these last few games.

But those dumb Dodgers.

 

[LHG]

And Holland gives those two runs right back. Poor tzill, he must be dry heaving by now.
