The Giants won their protest of the rain shortened game yesterday in which the Cubs' ground crew had trouble getting the tarp over the infield. The Cubs were up 2-0, but only 4 1/2 innings were in the books. Technically, that can be considered a complete game with rain, but due to the tarp troubles the MLB claimed "malfunction of a mechanical field device under the control of the home club" aided the Cubs and the game should have been suspended instead of called. Therefore, the Giants-Cubs will resume in the bottom of the 5th on Thursday. It's the first protest upheld in nearly 30 years. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24670234/after-first-upheld-protest-since-1986-giants-to-finish-game-with-cubs -
So this Fiers guy ain't too bad.

Wow, so Aroldis Chapman came in with a 9-5 lead over the Rockies and promptly walked FOUR batters in a row before he was pulled. Hoover came in, got two outs, but gave up a 3-run homer to Drew Stubbs for a walkoff victory. So that'll drop the Reds down a bit more. And that was only the first game of a doubleheader. Ouch. Edit: Second game of the DH did not go much better for the Reds. They had a 5-2 lead going into the bottom of the 7th, but gave up three runs in that inning to tie it, and five more in the 8th to put it out of reach. Reds lose 10-5. Edit: On another NL Central note, both Washington and Pittsburgh blew saves. Rafael Soriano gave up three in the top of the ninth to give Pitt the lead, then Melancon gave up one in the bottom to put the game into extras. Axford pitched a fairly clean 8th (one walk, turned into a DP) and would have gotten the win had it not been for the blown save. The Nats end up winning in the bottom of the 11th on a sac fly. Only downside in the Central was St. Louis winning. The Padres scored two in the ninth, but weren't able to tie/go ahead with runners at second and third and two outs. Cards barely hang on 7-6.

And they were correct. BA just said "manager decision".
-
Ruh roh, Ramirez out of the game. Hopefully nothing serious.
-
I think opponents are just going to let some guy that's never started pitch in the playoffs. That's the ticket!
-
Victory! Let's get a sweep tomorrow, boys! Ahh, but I'm still angry. I shouldn't be angry. The Brewers just beat Clayton Kershaw! He'd won 11(?) in a row. OK, calming down a bit.
-
I.... am... angry.
-
Yeah, doesn't appear so. I really, really hope that's not the case. He's pitched extremely well, and hasn't really had any strenuous innings.
-
I hope they put him out there for the 9th. Have someone ready if needed (a lefty and K-Rod). If he gets in trouble, take him out. Otherwise, give him a shot at finishing. He's only at 96 pitches.
-
BRAUN!!! I didn't think he got all of that, but good enough! The Brewers needed that, and I'm sure Ryan did, too.
-
Bah, Luc's done that a couple times in the past week. Had a guy at second with no outs and rolled over one to the left side. Disappointing considering how good of a hitter he is, but I suppose that stuff happens when you have a guy like Kershaw pitching.
-
Not gonna be a perfect game! OK, get him in... somehow.
-
Whew. Kershaw didn't look too sharp in his last start, but he seems on it tonight. Gallardo's gonna have to match him pitch for pitch and hopefully shutout the Dodgers. It seems like it's gonna be hard to string together hits against Kershaw, so hopefully someone knocks one out and Gallardo shuts them down. Or we're somehow able to get to their bullpen.
-
The Brewers' pitchers do not seem to be overly great at holding on runners. Most of the time, Lucroy doesn't have much of a chance.
-
No 20 minutes of terror tonight! That was an easy 1-2-3. Let's get to Kershaw tomorrow and win this series!
-
Insurance runs would be super cool. Go for it, Scooter! Edit: Literally as I hit submit, the ball hit his bat and dropped in LF. Sweet! Can't go wrong with insurance runs.
-
Gomez! HUGE play. Too bad the wild pitch put the runner at third, but that was an enormous catch.
-
I think he's done pretty well. I haven't had the volume on the whole game, but from what I've listened to, he seems pretty comfortable there. Better than Davey Nelson, though I think my shoe would be better than him. And my shoe hasn't talked in, like, 12 years.
-
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT YES YES YES NO PUNCTUATION HUGE HIT LYLE YESSS!
-
Aaand, that's why I would have liked Herrera hit first. He seems to at least be putting the ball in play lately, and he's tough to double up.
-
Honestly, would have preferred they switched that up. Herrera now, then Rickie... but we'll see how it plays out.
-
Rickie is in. I will be repeating, "Don't strike out" for the next few minutes. Need to take the lead here. I don't like our chances if they get out of this.
-
YESSSSSS! Tie game! Need to grab the lead this inning. Let's steal a game here since Kershaw's on the mound tomorrow.
-
Clutch hit achieved! More! MORE!
