Game Thread: 8.26 Strangers @ Hollturd

That had to be one of the worst calls in replay history. You don't even need 20/20 vision to tell that ball hit the bat and not the Ranger (poor Hundley, though).

Had no bearing and it only cost the Giants 1 pitch, but that was clear on replay that it hit the barrel of the bat. It wasn’t even close.

Glad to have seen Holland get the next guy on that first pitch. If Profar got one out, I'd been even more upset.

Nah. Improved draft position.

A pbf would be real nice right about here....

Noggin has a learning disability. Holland has thrown six beautiful innings. Why send him out for the 7th? WHY!?! He's a five and dive guy. He gave you an extra inning today. Let the bully take a clean inning. But no, we gotta let Holland give up hits to the first two guys he faces in the 7th.

To quote you above, improved draft position

Okay. We'll take that free out.

I keep forgetting that any of this matters, except for draft position.

4 hits today. Another offensive juggernaut.

Is New York going to rule that Mazara hit a grand slam?

 

[calsnowskier]

He missed on his jersey name. He should have done Digg Dugg...

I much prefer a top 10 pick, but wins, in baseball, are still valuable. You don’t ever want to fall into the mindset that wins don’t matter. That can be cancerous in a MLB clubhouse.

Gearin coming in with the clean frame. This is where he SHOULD be used, and Noggin never used him this way.

 

[calsnowskier]

He is a human-rain-delay, though...

I didn't realize how long it takes him to throw a pitch.

Has Melancon replaced Smith as closer?

 

[msgkings322]

Has Melancon replaced Smith as closer?

Yes, which was always the plan

 

[calsnowskier]

Has Melancon replaced Smith as closer?

God I hope not.

I have a bad feeling about this AB
