An 8 pitch, 1-2-3 inning is about as good as we could have asked for.

Hey, did they ever find Otis Nixon?

Hey, did they ever find Otis Nixon?

They did. Haven't read exactly what the deal was, just that he was found safe.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Hey, did they ever find Otis Nixon?

Yeah they found him. Think he had to spend a night in jail when they did. He was arrested a few months ago. Dude has some drug issues.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Why is Bonifacio starting over Peterson?

Peterson kills the Marlins.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Bunting isn't one of Colon's specialties I see...

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

cot damn!! We can't even lay down a bunt?

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Our guys can't put the ball in play unless it's a DP.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Another double play.

At least we only had a runner at first who probably shouldn't have been there anyways.

 

[Chewbaccer]

But I will say, I know the result was a double play, but that is a good sign. Inciarte made solid contact. He hasn't done that much this season. Elevate that line drive a bit next time, son.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I feel like a lot less checked swings are being rung up by the base umpires than they used to. Seems like used to, it was a strike nearly every time they were asked.

You're a "glass half full" kind of guy, aren't you?

Gotta have moral victories until we get some actual victories.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And a 3 run bomb means ball game.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

Aight, that's enough of this shit for me tonight. Going to watch the Godfather on AMC.

 

[Chewbaccer]

You're a "glass half full" kind of guy, aren't you?

But, despite the slow start, I still feel pretty good about this season.

On the bright side, a new episode of Forged in Fire comes on in about 20 mins.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Well, we won't be shutout. Markakis with a solo shot.

 

[bamabear82]

Markakis with a dinger. Solo of course.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Bases loaded, nobody out. Let's please get at least 2 runs here.
