Except this isn't by choice

[Scraps 13813]

At this point I would have already traded for Trevor Rosenthal and Brandon Workman 

[UTPhil2006 3932]

Seriously when is @Mez2 gonna close?

Pressly and Sneed are trash as is Dusty for continuing to use them in high leverage situations.

lol who else do we have that is better than Pressly?  Sneed sucks ass and will be in Corpus soon.  Hell, I would have preferred them to have included on the roster Conine, Dubin, or Torres over Sneed.

He's really earning that second year.

This still mystifies me.  Crane brought him under the dumbass impression that it would somehow soften the blowback we would get for the cheating scandal, which clearly hasn't happened.  What's the point in bringing him back another year?  He sucks.  I want to give Click the benefit of the doubt and assume he wasn't behind that decision which is at the same time concerning that Crane is making these types of decisions over the head of his new GM.

Sneed is an innings eater when the game is out of reach at best.  He needs to be gone.

[WBT 21009]

All this angst over Sneed when the ghost runner was the only one he allowed to score

[kevwun 16452]

It is a cumulative sucking with him.  He's pitched 6.2 innings and given up 11 hits and 5 walks.  In his last 3 appearances, he's either allowed someone to score or given up an earned run (it could be more, that's all I found with a quick google).

Yeah, he sucks.  He just wasn't the biggest culprit last night.  The bats only scoring in 4 out of 12 extra innings is getting old.

YIkes. That is just hard to comprehend how bad that is.

Springer is back but 6-9 is scarribad.

 

 

 

[huge 3831]

SF at +180 seemed like good value.

(Sucks)

[clapclapclap 9000]

Can't score a single run off a guy that threw 55 pitches in less than 2 innings.

[Gourmand 7778]

So far it's about what we expected...

Which one of you snuck into MMP today?

[UTexasFight 9835]

If tucker doesn’t get a hit next time through, 5 guys in tonight’s lineup will be below the Mendoza line... and that doesn’t include the 2017 MVP

[WBT 21009]

Looked safe.  If Straw can't steal bases, what exactly is it that you would say he does here?

[clapclapclap 9000]

LOL, has no one yet told Dusty that NY replay never rules in our favor?

Also, cover your nose, ump.

[Gourmand 7778]

Straw getting thrown out trying to steal second after getting a hit is so this year.

He's trying to be the shitty half tool player on the roster who sticks around to live rent free in our heads.

Todd Kalas just said we'll see if Reddick is on the move in this full count while Reddick was the batter

[WBT 21009]

He moved down to 1st when he walked.  

That was funny seeing the catcher take off for 3rd after receiving the pitch, with no one covering because of the shift.

[elfenix 34802]

Bregman!

It’s a sign of normalcy, I’ll allow it.

[WBT 21009]

 Hot damn, a run!

He also said that Dusty Baker was visiting the mound to talk to the Giants pitcher (before correcting himself)

Correa robbed Machete of a grand slam.

LOL at the makeup strike right after the griping.

Lulz at Greinke yelling out the signs

[Gourmand 7778]

So Scott Kazmir is trying to make a MLB comeback and has signed on to pitch in the Sugar Land Skeeters league.

O/u number of weeks until Click signs him?

[tx 3 putt 78810]

sign him after 3 starts, we need bullpen arms

[WBT 21009]

aggy didn't aggy it up

[FondrenRoad 4378]

8-7 Giants in 11 innings. 

[Gourmand 7778]

Y'all remember when Jason Lane reinvented himself as a pitcher for the Skeeters and wound up making it back to the bigs briefly in his 30s as a relief pitcher?

TIL that he is now the first base coach for the Brewers. Much respect for that man.

Ah, I spoke too soon.  You have to give Dusty an assist though.
