^ sort of like that 3rd strike on Mercer.

 

[thedddd]

Seriously why would anyone ever pitch a fastball to Alvarez.

f' that how about that 3rd strike on Alvarez.

Complete joke, apparently if you throw a curveball within half a foot of the outside corner it's an automatic strike. Shitty umpiring again.

 

[thedddd]

^ yep it is pathetic.

 

[element1286]

Would have liked to see Clint say something there, can't let that stuff go.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah I wish he would have at least that might have sparked the hitters somewhat next inning.

its too bad that Bucs will get dominated by two ace's in a row in the wc game

It's a shitty format, no reason why this can't be a three game series; Game 1 Monday, Game 2 Tuesday, Game 3 Wednesday. Division series starts the same time.

 

[thedddd]

^ for that matter go down to 160 game season.

 

[element1286]

Yeah, that too.

I was talking about this year and last year when SF shut them down. Buc's don't have a "shut down" pitcher

 

[thedddd]

it doesn't help in the play in game they haven't scored in 15 innings, since the 7th inning of 2013.

 

[element1286]

Cole is a shut down pitcher, he had the 7th best ERA is majors this year, Arrieta and Bumgarner have been historically good the past two years.

 

[element1286]

Welp, that was their chance. Marte up there looking to pull again, and predictably grounds into a double play. Look the opposite way.

 

[thedddd]

well that was it. Trying to hit the HR, anything except a ground ball up the middle would have scored one.

 

[element1286]

Good for Tony Watson.

 

[psaboy]

Cole, I will argue, is not a shut down pitcher. If he was, he would have done so tonight.

 

[element1286]

Who is a shutdown pitcher then? Arrieta, Bumgarner, who else?

 

[thedddd]

FInally got Fowler out!
