Well fuck. This isn't good. 

Who gets the ball tomorrow now? Fucking Heaney? Can Dunning go?

its fairly consistent but AZ it appears is getting a slight benefit at the plate.

Nothing slight about it. Obvious as it was in game 2. One pitch can change the complexion of an at bat.

oh I know.  but you can really only go by what is called on a particular pitch.

[gofuckyourself 9096]

Ok Gray. We just need 3 or 4 rock solid from you.

[Vic Mackey 48034]

Please be good Gray. Really need this

If we get 2 shutout he's done his job.  I'm guessing he doesn't go more than 2.

[SpiralOut 1965]

Gray's history against the Dbacks is, uh, not good.  Hopefully he breaks that trend tonight.

If we can just get Max to Sborz I like our chances. 

Nice job

Why would we look for Christmas, Smoltz?

[gofuckyourself 9096]

Nasty.

[Surly Bevo 25783]

That's a good confidence builder

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

I want Jon Gray to turn into 2015-2016 Andrew Miller. Throw your nasty shit for two innings my guy. 

[Redneck Mutha 8230]

Pick your goddamn hat up, you putz.

[gofuckyourself 9096]

Great job Gray.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

1-2-3. Jonny Gray baby!

[gofuckyourself 9096]

Let's add a bunch.

[ztejas 44288]

Well. That probably went better than it would have with Max.

Just wish we didn't have to burn him. 

[Surly Bevo 25783]

Easy game

[Redneck Mutha 8230]

I like innings like that.

[Vic Mackey 48034]

Big 1,2,3! Now let's get some more runs

[SpiralOut 1965]

Nice inning, Gray!  One or two more of those would be mighty nice.

[dcar00 14998]

good gray is good.

Bochy has zero wiggle room with this staff.  It's incredible really.

[AbeFroman 3133]

Let's go fucking hit

[Pato del Muerto 53604]

Ok cool. If the 5th goes that well, I’d let him have the 6th too and then go to the back end 3.

Wow ump

[gofuckyourself 9096]

Wow. That was a missed strike.

We'll take it.

[Fudbelty 2810]

We can’t bitch about the strike zone anymore.

[Surly Bevo 25783]

WOW

[dcar00 14998]

well that was....interesting.

[SpiralOut 1965]

This ump is gonna be hated by everyone by the end of the night. 🤣

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

This guys zone is so drunk that no one knows what a strike is.

Watch me do it. I will acknowledge that is horrendous and continue my bitching

[Pato del Muerto 53604]

Hey we got one. And the announcers are stunned. 

[BehoId, The Underminer! 11669]

No robot umps! No robot umps!

[dcar00 14998]

slider is no mans land for jung

[Fudbelty 2810]

He can be bad as long as he’s consistently bad for both

[ztejas 44288]

Relevant Onion per that last graphic.

Can we not find competent umps for the World Series?

[Surly Bevo 25783]

What is Fox's fascination with the caricatures instead of pictures? 

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Jung will be a much better hitter if he ever lays off that shit.

They literally picked a bunch of guys nowhere near the top of the umpiring heap for accuracy.

I'm surprised they didn't really just shove it in everyone's face and trot Angel Hernandez out there.

[ztejas 44288]

56 Ks in a single postseason probably a fairly safe franchise record. 

[dcar00 14998]

lets go marcus.  set the table.

Taveras is shit

Yep when I saw the rankings and most all of them were in the 60s-90s it was a WTF moment.

[dcar00 14998]

fuck. unlucky.

[Firemans4Horn 18535]

Semien needs to make more of these meatball pitches he’s faced tonight. 

[Redneck Mutha 8230]

Good wood on it, just right at em.  Let's go Gray.

[Surly Bevo 25783]

Good wood there.
