    Can you weigh in on what it is like sitting in Gallagher Square? Is it worth watching a game from there? I will have a chance to go to Petco in a couple of weeks, and that section has the only tickets under $200 on StubHub! Crazy how expensive they are.

    I’m in So Cal and San Diego the next two weeks for work. Tickets for all three teams are so expensive. I think I may need to bite the bullet and go to a game in SD. Haven’t been to that park yet. I could actually work a game in all three so cal parks during my time there. Would probably be north of $500 just for tickets, though.

    Spectacular catch
  4. Underachiever
    Bleeping infield hits.
  5. Underachiever
    Croenenwerth had no chance. Amazing stuff.
  6. Underachiever
    I’m fine with 9.

    Funny listening to Rock mentioning Marichal. What a windup that guy had. Same with Tiant. I imagine that Corbin would have a little trouble with all the moving parts in those windups.
  8. Underachiever
    Hell yes! Runs are nice, but stopping an in game thread from becoming another Grisham pissfest is even better.

    I think that is in the handbook for nicknames. One syllable in the name? Add a second. Two syllables? Cut it to one. Ergo, Rickie Weeks would be called Rick or Weeksie. Never heard Cor Hartie, though.

    Understatement. Taylor's HR was a bomb. Dead Center at Petco? It sounded so good I played it over a few times. Did not know he had that in him.

    We were told a cramp in his calf.

    Is it possible that a guy picks up a couple hundred RPM without a foreign substance? Bauer is perhaps the most visible because of his past statements, and a previous poster mentioned Gerrit Cole, but you have to look at Devin Williams and wonder if he is using something. I don't think his minor league performance could have predicted last year's success. His pitches do weird things, and he went from striking out 10-12 per 9 in the minors to striking out 17.7 per 9 in 2020. When Burnes went to the pitching lab, did he come out of it with an increased spin rate? It certainly seems that cracking down on the use of substances and getting a more "normal" spin rate would do more for increasing offense in MLB than any mound changes could ever hope to do. I'm not being naive, but maybe it's just that pitching is ahead of hitting. With emphasis on power arms, limiting pitch counts, and going deep into the bullpen every night, pitching has evolved to a place that is defeating hitting.

    Good question. Hope that those heavy hitters frustratingly flail away at Suter's junk for a couple innings I guess? Just piggyback Woodruff and Burnes in a series opener against a team like this so you can win at least one game (yes, I’m joking). Since you will use a reliever virtually 100% of the games, just use an opener every night, then see if Woody/Burnes/Peralta can go seven to get you to Hader. Done.

    That third strike for Hiura was Weeksian.
  15. Underachiever
    Hernan Perez on the mound for the Nats tonight.
  16. Underachiever
    Musgrove had a four inning start against the Pirates last week. There will be no consecutive no-nos.
  17. Underachiever
    C'mon Brandon, can't go ten pitches on a batter and then walk them. Edit: Looks like we agree.
  18. Underachiever
    Listen, young man. Let me tell you about Pete Vuckovich and Rollie Fingers.
  19. Underachiever
    That's twice now that they have had a pitcher bat, then lifted him anyway. Suter the other day. Weird.
  20. Underachiever
    Obligatory Coach Cooper reference.
  21. Underachiever
    It's Corbin's world.
  22. Underachiever
    When can I start worrying about the long layoff for Burnes this inning? Or should I be more worried that he may have to run the bases?
  23. Underachiever
    Miller: 21 pitches, zero outs.
  24. Underachiever
    If they make it to Burnes' spot, they would have scored at least a run. Do you pull him? Edit: I guess it's not a guarantee they would have scored.
  25. Underachiever
    50 pitches through 4? Yes, please.
