Watching on YouTubeTV tonight and not having to deal with FanDuel. I constantly have to leave the game and then enter it again because of buffering and then the sound and game don't match up. I'm glad I get to watch without dealing with that tonight. 

 

Due to reasons that defy any logical explanation, I'm counting on y'all to tell me all about this game.😉

27 PA with the bases loaded and has a walk, 3 singles, a double and a HR.with 16 RBI. So, a BA of ..192. If he had hit 1.000 he might have driven in 40 or so more runs. Presumably some of those runners he left on base were driven in by a subsequent hitter. 

So, no, it isn’t remotely close to possible.

So he's a good hitter who should continue to play every day. Cool

I know it's not politically correct to say but is it possible that guys getting yanked in and out of the lineup every other day has guys a bit off hitting wise? I just feel like guys who were swinging it well have fallen off since. Oh by the way red hot Montesario has 4ab in past 9 games. 

I think this is definitely a possibility.  Had the exact conversation with a buddy of mine, and he had the same theory.

[BruisedCrew]

Can anybody name 2 guys in tonight’s starting lineup who have been hitting well since the first inning last Wednesday.?

[kevinisaname]

Ugh. Robbed.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Is there a humidor thing going on in Texas? My goodness. These balls are smoked.

[TURBO]

I've been having an issue with this website recently, and only this website.

Lots of "exit page or wait" prompts as it's trying to get caught up with my manuvering.

Pretty frustrating as it probably has to do with the excessive ads on the page.

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, again. The ground rule double saves a run for now.

[Bulldogboy]

Jeez.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Well if it weren't for bad luck, we'd have none. Two smoked balls for outs, including a home run robbery, and a ground-rule double that costs us a run.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I've said this before and I'll say it again: 

A GRD should score the runner from first with 2 outs. It really doesn't make sense that it doesn't. 

[kevinisaname]

Finally, a break!

[greenlawler]

about time

 

[kevinisaname]

Wild Bill with a huge two-RBI single!

[BarremlensTSSC]

Definitely not too proud to take a run that way.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

HUGE hit. 

Philly is getting a little closer than I would like. Got to hold them off another week or so. 

[AKCheesehead]

It seems like it's so rare that you get bitten by the 2 out ground rule double and then actually score. 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Love Yelich running and Contreras taking on the first pitch. That's a free base, and it cashes.

[BarremlensTSSC]

The dam broke.  Maybe?  Hope so.

Call me crazy, but I'd honestly rather have the two. Takes playing the Cubs before the NLCS off the table.

The Mets are useless.

I get the rule with < 2 outs as you can't assume Johnny Estrada is coming home. With 2 outs, that runner should not be stopped at 3rd.

Hey, old friend Hoby coming in. Glad the Brewers didn't totally wreck his arm with that massive workload.

[Bulldogboy]

Hoby? Wow
