2018-09-08: Giants (Stratton) at Brewers (Gonzalez) 6:10 PM CDT [Brewers win, 4-3]

[82brewcrew82]

It's like, "What is an out?", these days? I don't get how they could overturn that.

 

Anyway, nice start for Gio.

I don't know. It looked pretty clear to me that the call was correctly overturned.

Tigers hold the line after Boyd exits, 3-1 going to the bottom of the 8th. Cards will have the top of the order up in the 9th (Carpenter-Martinez-O'Neill)

Yeah I guess I'm not really sure what people are seeing to think that was an out. Anyway, good job Corey getting the last out here and great Brewer debut for Gio.

[sarcasm]Why do I bother looking?[/sarcasm]

[PinaMadness]

Saw the “perfect game” indicator on the Royals/Twins game and assumed it was Berrios. Nope, Jorge Lopez!

 

Great, that's another tab I'll leave open now.

Oh, so that is Jorge Lopez with the Perfect game through 6 innings.

Mike Fiers all over again.

This is what I do when the wife is out of town.

Just joking with you. I do appreciate it though.

Glad Knebel looks better since his demotion

[adambr2]

Getting good Corey Knebel back for the rest of the season would be incredibly beneficial.

[82brewcrew82]

Is it me or does it seem like guys are taking more border line pitchers. I have no idea why you would complain after taking a pitch that close with two strikes.

[jjgott]

How was Gio’s pace? During his time with the Nats he was always criticized for working really slowly and would throw a lot of pitches.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Knebel looks like a different pitcher since he came back up.

Seemed "normal" to me.

[Greenleaf1]

"Watch Manny's glove, he barely moves it" as Pina drags that pitch back from way off the corner.

 

There's a good six inch buffer around the zone tonight.

[MrTPlush]

Jorge Lopez and his two K’s are just 6 outs from the perfect game.

[jason21nl]

Absolutely unhittable

[Greenleaf1]

Game 2 is underway in Washington. Rodriguez retires the side in the top of the 1st.

 

Hope the Nats' offense can stay hot. I haven't really looked at his peripherals, does Hamels' success with the Cubs seem legit?

[82brewcrew82]

Agreed. I just hope they resist the urge to "name him the closer". I hate that concept.

[DuWayne Steurer]

If I ever see David gruber on the street, im gonna push him down because of these annoying commercials.

Same here. There's absolutely no need to force him back into that role. There's crucial outs in every inning to be gotten. I have no problem seeing Hader in the 6th and 7th either.

You scallion, you.

You'll have a lawsuit on your hands, mister.

If Knebel is back, you have your shut down pen in the late innings. I wish they would use Jeffress more liberally as well. This could be a dynamic pen if used in that manner.

[adambr2]

Did Arcia pull up with something there? Sure didn't look like he was busting it down the line too hard.

[MrTPlush]

If Knebel is back he increases our World Series odds dramatically. Soria, Hader, Jeffress, and Knebel? With all the off days if that pen is on all cylinders in October you could ride them a loooooong way.
