[BornToRun]

NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL!

 

[TFisNEXT]

NL fans absolutely love this shit too.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Pitchers hitting is yay!!

 

[strek1]

Silent movies so far.

 

[jtn46]

At least the Mets are getting Bumgarner to throw pitches now. This might be a soccer score for awhile, Mets will probably go to the pen first given Syndergaard's pitch count.

 

[rembrat]

What do the fans chant for a Thor K?

 

[TFisNEXT]

Thank God we got to watch the pitcher flail at a curveball to end the inning. That wouldn't have been possible without the NL giving us the privilege to observe such mastery of game theory.

Bumgarner's isn't that much lower.

Mike krukow says hit a home run, pitch a shutout and you can't lose.

No homer this time.

 

[rembrat]

Madison really thinks he's a hitter up there. How cute.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Ump to Bumgarner: Don't look at me.

 

[BornToRun]

Ump to Bumgarner: Don't look at me.

This got a real chuckle out of me.

He's a fucking genius

Seig Heil!

 

[Ale Xander]

Shoot.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He's a fucking genius

When he said it to Bum, Bum said "oh yeah?"

 

[BornToRun]

That's two great jumps he's gotten tonight.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

When he said it to Bum, Bum said "oh yeah?"

And we know he's a fucking genius

 

[rembrat]

That's two great jumps he's gotten tonight.

And he's barely made it both times.

 

[jon abbey]

Madison really thinks he's a hitter up there. How cute.

He has 12 HRs in 229 ABs over the last three seasons, that seems pretty legit to me.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cespedes goes to the same hairdresser as Reyes.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

wow. He just completely sawed off Belt inside.

 

[rembrat]

Edit: suppose to quote jon

So he can get a hold of a fastball. So what. He looks like horseshit swinging at breaking stuff.

 

[Ale Xander]

The GRANDYMAN CAN

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Wow!

 

[BornToRun]

Wow!

 

[Bergs]

What a fucking catch.

 

[strek1]

Great catch! Long long run for that.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Hell of a catch

 

[Gdiguy]

Well, that was a thing. (eek)

 

[ypioca]

That was awesome.

 

[redsox3g2]

This is a hell of a pair of wildcard games

 

[loshjott]

Baseball.

 

[jon abbey]

So he can get a hold of a fastball. So what. He looks like horseshit swinging at breaking stuff.

No one is saying he should be an everyday DH, but those power numbers are impressive, especially since two of them are off Kershaw, one off Greinke, one off DeGrom...

There is no such thing as a good hitting pitcher. Good by pitcher standards is below average shortstop territory.

Based on exit velo and location, the expected batting average on that Belt blast was .971—Granderson was the .029 https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?

 

[rembrat]

Bum is a fucking idiot.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Bum is a fucking idiot.

Winters is a bigger one. That was a strike.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Winters is a bigger one. That was a strike.

Exactly.

 

[rembrat]

Winters is a bigger one. That was a strike.

Posey should try catching them in the zone then.

Shohei Otani is looking to change that, check out his hitting numbers from this year (he is a Darvish-level pitcher also):

[SoFloSoxFan]

Granderson hurt himself? Back maybe?

 

[rembrat]

He's gassing. Knock him the fuck out right here.

 

[BornToRun]

That should've been gone.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Posey should try catching them in the zone then.

That wasn't on Posey. Winters blows.

 

[Ale Xander]

WELL, Aaron, WELL.

 

[Al Zarilla]

He's gassing. Knock him the fuck out right here.

He's not your average pitcher when it comes to getting gassed.

 

[rembrat]

Cespedes blows in the postseason right? Come on dude.

 

[ifmanis5]

Watching these two Aces reminds me what David Price is not.

 

[loshjott]

That wasn't on Posey. Winters blows.

He was pissy after Bum challenged him when batting.

Cubs fortunate they'll only see either of these pitchers once.
