Hey JTB, how great is he?

So great that his teammates call him Gatsby.

 

[jmcc5400]

Pivetta is soooo great.

Hitters are .146/.241/.272 against him as a reliever, not including today's .000/.100/.000.

 

[Max Power]

Chang has walked 42 times across 600+ MLB PAs. Damn.

That's 7%. MLB average is 8.5%. Were you expecting pitchers to walk him less since he doesn't do much damage when they throw it down the middle?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

MASHataka Yoshida

 

[JOBU]

Break this shit open

 

[Bergs]

Duvall is about to crush one.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Ok, now more runs, b/c they could come in handy

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

So great that his teammates call him Gatsby.

Damn!

Hitters are .146/.241/.272 against him as a reliever, not including today's .000/.100/.000.

Damn!!

Masa kind of rules btw.

 

[Bergs]

This ump is fucking dogshit.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The thing is, he does absolutely NOTHING else offensively. Its amazing how bad he is as a hitter.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Another clutch RBI for the resurgent ADAM DUVALL!

 

[JOBU]

Small ball

 

[jteders1]

I’ve missed a bunch of games this year due to personal stuff and work travel, so I haven’t been able to experience all of our announcer combos, but. Monaco and Youk are really comfortable together. This is our best announcing crew. I could live with this for 162. Put DOB out to pasture.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Casas with another nifty AB

Also, I love Masa

 

[Bergs]

Speed kills!

 

[jmcc5400]

Such a pleasure watching Casas control the zone.

 

[Bergs]

Tristan seems like he's starting to put it all together. Very exciting.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Casas with another nifty AB

He really pulls the lineup together.

 

[jmcc5400]

Anyone tried Youk's beer?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Nice piece of hitting by Arroyo

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Slick piece of hitting by Pedigree.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nice piece of hitting by Arroyo

Whoa!

 

[JOBU]

Probably the right play to hold the runner. Not sure if it’s just me but it seems like the base running has been more conservative to start the second half

 

[barclay]

This ump is fucking dogshit.

Well he IS known as Emil "wide zone" Jimenez. Which is fine, I guess, as long as you are an athletic supporter.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

If it keeps on raining, levees going to break.

 

[JOBU]

Slick piece of hitting by Pedigree.

He’s got papers.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

They done busted it open!

 

[JOBU]

Yeah that will do

 

[derekson]

Wongers!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I also love me some Connor Wong. Have yourself a night kid.

 

[patinorange]

Oh man, if Wong can hit. Watch out.

 

[soxhop411]

Wonger!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

 

[strek1]

Connor have a night

 

[jmcc5400]

Wong! Unsung how he's been catching virtually every day.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If that’s Wong, I don’t want to be right.

 

[Ale Xander]

If it keeps on raining, levees going to break.

Oh well

 

[jmcc5400]

That works!

 

[strek1]

Productive outs are good!

 

[budcrew08]

Wong then Chang! Groundout gets an RBI.

 

[Bergs]

Anyone tried Youk's beer?

I have not, but the hazy IPA is named "Jew-jitsu", which is all kinds of fantastic.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Productive outs are good!

Screw that. Productive outs are ok. They are second best. Better than the alternative. Not shitty. But not good.

 

[moonshotmanny]

I was falling asleep but now I’m awake!

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Blackburn pounded in the top of 6
All these sunken A's can't learn to play
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to give up 3
Blackburn, fly
Blackburn, fly

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

If you told me that Sam Moll pitched on the 2002 A's, the 2009 A's, the 2015 A's or the 2023 A's I would believe you.

 

[Max Power]

 

[derekson]

Didn't Gagné throw a Vulcan change?

 

[strek1]

Screw that. Productive outs are ok. They are second best. Better than the alternative. Not shitty. But not good.

Compared to K's with RISP , productive outs are GREAT!

 

[JOBU]

Didn't Gagné throw a Vulcan change?

I’ve blocked everything about this person out of my memory.

 

[Bergs]

Best pitch name ever was Papelbon's "slutter."
