Game Thread: 8/2 Takin a Leake on GenericALTeam

[tzill]

You have already declared this a shitshow, and we have not given up any runs yet. I am sure that at least 70% of those 54 games will have a post by you declaring full diapers.

A base hit does not a shitshow make.

No, but 5 pitches seen against a 10+ ERA pitcher in the first inning is an abject failure. One that a veteran defending championship team shouldn't make.

This just feels like another 10-7 shitshow. Hope I'm wrong.

This goes to Boch. It takes a lot for a vet to lose his job. And I ink that is the proper strategy to employ, especially in the regular season. Everyone knows their role and nobody presses if they get in a slump.

However, come postseason, all bets are off. And come 2016, I think Pagan will either be gone, or the #4 OF. Blanco or a newb will be the starting CFer.

Or maybe a correction to his body ailments will let him improve.

Game declarations after 5 pitches is very Nolenesque.

Even HWSNBN would legitimately shake his head at that.

3 innings...24 pitches.

AWFUL.

Of course. But that was started this line of discussion.

So we are being no hit through 3 innings by a pitcher whose ERA is double the Bomko Line? And 24 pitches see through three innings?

 

[Stokes1931]

Leake is known as a fast worker.

Big Daddy would approve!

Now you're just being Nolanesque.

Wow, if Prince didn't pause there, he could've beaten that out. A run would have scored.

PBF for Leake!

Nicely done.

Let's see some pitches, get some hits, score some runs.

Seaweed with the AB of the day

 

[tzill]

this is amazingly inept hitting today....34 pitches seen through 4 innings.

wow. just, wow.

 

[tzill]

Leake losing it now....

 

[tzill]

how about, I don't know, a fucking HIT????

 

[moxie]

Glad they didn't look at that one too closely... seemed like Belt picked his foot up just a bit afterwards.

 

[tzill]

Ump has only blown one pitch call so far.

 

[Stokes1931]

Cy Young winner and future HOFer Cole Hamels? We can hit the snot out of him.

Relative newbie pitcher with a 10+ ERA? Absolutely clueless

Why isn't Leake doing the Save Water commercials?

(And I thought Stokes was the only guy with cheesy humor on here)
