God dammit Southhard a bullpen job is there for the taking for you. Fucking bear down and finish this shit out

kind of like that. Keep it up 

There ya go. Keep it up, kid. With Witt out, we really need to steal a couple innings here and there. Sthele already does that. Harrison is a great set up guy. Nixon is Nixon.  Add Southhard to that mix and our pen is golden come conference play

The flip was in foul territory on a normal day, but the wind carried it toward the pitcher

I mean... it's incredibly unsportsmanlike. It's also fucking hilarious because that ball was insta gone into the wind and came right after the pitcher checked to first twice in a row.

He definitely owes Silas a beer. Overall - I'm kind of with Fletch. Everyone hates us already. Might as well embrace it.

Yeah Ivan is definitely getting beaned at some point tomorrow. If take game the first game and get out to a 5ish run lead in game two, he’s getting drilled. He’s gonna be getting some chin music all damn day too. Worth it

Seriously. You go to second there every time with less than 2 outs

Didn’t see the play but if it was that close then just take the easy out. If the number 1 team in the nation can’t get 1 out with a four run lead then we shouldn’t be ranked as such. The last thing you want is guys on first and second and ball hit in the corner/gap cutting the lead in half or placing guys on third and second with a base hit cutting the lead to 1 with less than 2 outs. In the end it doesn’t matter, Daly made the play, and honestly he’s one of the few guys you trust to take that gamble. 
 

edit: again I didn’t see it so if he had the guy by a couple of steps the he made the right decision

Ball was hit well, so it wasn’t that close at second.

Hell, that may be all Ivan sees for awhile if he keeps taking every other ab 450 ft.

It wasn't a gamble at all. It was an easy out at 2nd.

Honestly I think the play he made is “the easier out”. Momentum was headed that way and it was a shorter throw. Iirc I was a tad bit checked out at that point obviously. Whatever. Got the out. Daly will know what to do when shits on the line

Not going to argue over a fucking out, nice play by Daly to field it.

that and when you get that ball where your momentum is actually turning you toward second and your throwing hand, its actually a bit of an easier play.  he made the right play.  these guys have played enough baseball they generally know if the runner is going to beat them to second.

Sweet. Pitch around Melendez and actually have to challenge Kennedy, Faltine, Hodo, Stehly and Silas. Sounds good to me. 
 

Speaking of which, time to go  Stehly in the 4hole, Faltine 5th and Silas 6th. 7-9 gets tricky if Messinger keeps sucking shit through a straw, but as of right now, think I’d put Daly 7th, Messinger 8 and Campbell 9th. I like having Campbell in the 9 hole. Keep the pressure off him and just keep letting him get comfortable. Guy has some pretty nice potential IMO. Good to see him have a solid day today. Keep it up, dude.

No listen mother fucker I got all god damn day. You started it. Let’s fucking finish it. List the pros and cons to your bull shit. Do your homework 

ha nah dude I agree. Doesn’t really matter and when shits actually on the line, Daly and Faltine will make the smart play. They’ve proven they’ve got some serious situational awareness

Where is Peyton Powell?  He has one AB 

I’ve been asking this for over a year now. Dudes got pop. We need a left handed bat with some pop. Why is the left handed guy with some pop not even sniffing the field?

Maybe it’s just me but I’d almost rather have Stehly in the 3 spot. I think Ivan is at a level right now where it’s almost impossible to protect him, only reason I’d have Stehly 3rd. Everything else I agree with, we are far enough in the season that it’s beyond a guy just getting “hot”. 
 

If Daly can start hitting we are going to be pretty damn hard to stop, already are that’s what is scary

Yeah it’s tough. Him in the 3 spot does get him a couple extra at bats over time. But Hodo and Kennedy are damn near perfect lead off and 2 hole guys. Especially for the Disch. So yeah having the guy that’s apparently going to get .940 this year batting 3rd who are both fast as fuck….and Stehly can run a bit too. So those 3 setting it up for apparently college version of Pujols seems ideal. Then Faltine, Silas and whatever 7-9 shakes out to be. Fun times

Maybe the same reason Southard has barely pitched any the last few years. Pierce's doghouse?

Because you touch yourself at night.
