Bartolo gets a nice easy 1-2-3 first.

Loney got called out on strikes on a pitch a foot out of the strike zone. Umps suck. I'm sick of them. The idiot who couldn't find the strike zone in game one if you spotted him "strike" and "zon" gets game 2 off because it's a doubleheader... poor baby worked so hard! So MLB has to fly a minor league umpire in for game 2. Pathetic. Fire them all.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 26 2016 07:52 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

A De Aza double!

Chad Ochoseis Jul 26 2016 08:02 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

And Cabrera's off the schneid!!!

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:03 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

It's almost like something that needs to be investigated. But I'll take it. It'll help lift the cloud.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:11 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Was Keef not in the booth for the first game but here for the second?

Bastardo useful? De Aza performing? Bart getting a bunt down? Cabrera driving in a runner in scoring position? How can these be anything other than good omens?

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:25 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

LAGARES WAS SO SAFE!! Can nobody make that call anymore?!

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:25 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Sheesh, I saw that with my nekkid eye.

Asdrubal Cabrera, run-producing machine. Alejandro De Aza, run-scoring juggernaut.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:36 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Smoker wearing 49. Such a lefties' number.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:50 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

d'Arnaud can hit this guy.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:51 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

So close. Why Flores didn't tag, I dunno.

Fman99 Jul 26 2016 08:54 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Two outs and six innings in. Send Colon up to hit. Someone get the defrib for TC.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:54 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

I'm probably batting for Colón here.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:55 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Yeah, I look to Reyes.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 08:56 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

I mean, what are you buying? One inning? Is Bart that many potential runs better than Hansel Robles over one inning compared to the potential runs you give up with that at-bat?

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 09:04 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Although he did his part there on the mound.

Fman99 Jul 26 2016 09:05 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

On the other hand, Barty did really just mow them down in the 7th, so, I don't know. Reserve judgement for how the next 2 innings go.

Poor David. In the park to watch his team stolen base lead get taken from him.

Thanks for the "solid rant" comment. I'll third this. I had a conversation with bro #1 today and it was almost a mirror of what Keith said. That we had replay back in the day, to look at after the play, and almost always the umps had it right. Why now do they almost always get it wrong? Bro1 thinks its a conspiracy. Which is odd because I'm the conspiracy guy in this family. I am sick of it as well. And it's not just that they suck. I won't scream conspiracy but it does look like they are trying awfully hard to really suck.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 09:19 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

And tha' t'was the last inning for Bartolo.

Yep. Reed. Agent 008

Edgy MD Jul 26 2016 09:23 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

I don't know if Reed's a student of Bartolo or what. I can't see what he's got working for him ... but it works for him.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2016 09:26 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Just another ridiculously solid and efficient inning from Reed.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2016 09:30 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

One in the 7th, one more in the 8th, then three in the 9th and the Cleveland Injuns steal one from the Nats. BAM!! Not sure the Indians have beaten Washington this bad since Little Big Horn

First off, in the top of the 9th the Nats loaded the bases with one out but neither Harper nor Murphy could get the extra insurance runs in. Then came Papelbon already coming off a blown save in his last outing: Walk - RBI Double - Sac Bunt w/Error by Zimmerman ties the game - Int Walk - Bunt Single ** Out goes Papelbon, in comes Ollie Perez: Line Out - Game Winning Single

I gotta admit, I felt like I was tempting fate a bit by cackling over the Nats blown save whilst Holiday was up there representing the tying run.

Mixed afternoon. Lose half a game (and our lead on the second Wild Card spot) to the Ichiro-powered Marlins, but pull stave off the Cards (who are just as much a threat) and gain a halfie on the Nats.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2016 10:55 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Yes, we really could have and should have swept, but we're just not dynamic enough. Don't know how much play this got on TV but there was a breeze coming in form left that killed everything in the air. You really needed a low line drive like Jerkoff's HR to yank it out. dArnaud to my eyes just destroyed the ball to right field once but it just didn't have the legs tonight. On another night it's a breathtaking HR. The between innings car race remains the stupidest thing in baseball and I saw it twice. The interns running the race can't even keep the vehicle-costumes level so the cars all look like they're tipping over the front wheels. Lagares is a terrific CFer again, ranks atop the Eyewitness Defense ratings. Cespedes looks awful otoh. So did the Cardinals outfielders, other than Phwam's nailing Grandyman. Kept waiting for him to turn back to 1st. It required a good throw but that's what he got. I suppose also a case of the ball looking like it would travel further than it did and he had a moment to set it up. Grichuk overrunning the ball was the real key offensive moment of game 2. 1st double header I attended since that awful sweep by Arizona in 2003 during the home-game losing streak that cost Valentine his job. Saw the CPF's own Gwreck getting off the 7 at Court Square but he didn't see me. And for the 2nd time in a week the entire season depends on Logan Verrett.

TransMonk Jul 26 2016 10:56 PM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Not having a losing streak since the All-Star break is cool an all, but eventually this team is going to need to win a few in a row.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 06:29 AM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

Anybody watching the replay, watch out for a skinny young bearded guy with a blue shirt behind the plate in the ninth. Lemme know if he appears any time sooner. He was rockin' it.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2016 06:59 AM Re: IGT Game 99 STL@NYM 7/26, 8ish,

btw, the bats were a whopping 2 for 14 w/RiSP in this game, it just didn't seem so bad because a) they won the game anyway and b) Asdrubal broke his streak But 2 for 14 still reallllly reallllly suxxxx, especially when tacked onto the 0 for 5 in the first game -- and that doesn't even include the Sac Fly which technically is also an out w/RiSP just isn't scored that way because it gets the run in. The only other hit? Lagares's replay-reversed single which didn't even drive in a run. So add it all up and it was 20 trips to the plate yesterday with a runner on 2nd, or on 3rd, or in some cases both, and all they managed was two hits, one of which never left the infield. And yet somehow they made it all seem like it was progress, which maybe it was considering where they've been coming from.
