EL GARY!

He Gary today that is for sure. 

[BruisedCrew]

I think that’s why when I was a kid we used to say “The faster they come in the faster they go,out”,

Sanchez just laid his bat on that ball and watched it go.

Chapman night be a candidate for a DFA soon. 

[Brian]

Where's Devin Williams when you need him. 

[Nola Beery]

Just when I was ready to throw the radio (i.e., my phone) out the back door.   YAY.  Let's hang on. Oh wait. leadoff double. Bughghghghgh!

 

[SeaBass]

I don't get the smile from Chapman after giving up that dinger. Dude, blowing a game ain't funny. Pirates fans can't feel too great about that.

[BruisedCrew]

Now we’ll see how the relievers bounce back about 18 hours after their high stress innings last night. 

[Bulldogboy]

Payamps is not the closer today but was yesterday? Hmm.

If they have proved anything so far this year, it's that there is no "closer".

[yourout]

Walking someone to get to Reynolds is a really bad idea.

[Brian]

My heart skipped a beat on that last out.

Or... Everyone is a closer. Oprah style bullpen

The Brewers are pretty clearly in “closer by Committee” mode right now. It’s going to depend in part on situations and in part on who is available.

Just saw that Scary Gary oppo blast. My goodness. What a swing of the stick. Not a lotta men could hit that pitch to that location 😅

Yup. Gotta think it's Megill today?

I've got the Pirates feed on MLB.TV - Sanchez was his catcher when together for NYY. He had never faced him as a hitter. Still doesn't really explain the smile, but they do know each other, apparently.

[Brian]

No outs 2 men on. We need a run or two.

Ask and you shall receive.

Dunn said I'm hacking here.

Why Jason Lane Why

[adambr2]

Not a great send, but with 2 outs I get it. If that flyout was the first out of the inning I think he would have held him. Ortiz just did not get it deep enough.

I confess that I was hoping they'd send him. Alas. Didn't work.

You're basically choosing whether there's a better shot of a slightly offline throw or missed tag, or the next guy coming through with 2 out. It's pretty much a wash for me.

Because Weimer was on deck.

[yourout]

Game should be over... That was a strike

[adambr2]

Game should be over right now. That's not a ball.
