NLD 42 - Are those guys still around?

<crickets>

My best series of the year last night Joe. I think it was the BBQ lunch we had earlier in the day. We might have to make that a ritual.

Yeah, you missed three XPs, but you also gave up a safety. A bummer to lose a game 18-5 and turn around and lose one 1-0 in the same series.

Got Kipnis to get on base in front of the sluggers. OB is .301 and is lower versus R .296. Funny thing is 60% of the rolls have been on his card 73-48. Got to hope that turns around.

This is the kind of start I like. First 9 hitters get on - 8 off the pitcher's card.

Wow! Who was pitching?????

So, this is in another league I'm in, but trailing by 2 bottom of the 9th facing Givens, check out this inning to tie it:

Code: Select all

0    A.Eaton 4-5 Fly Out (RF) b-0   F0
1    M.Bourn 4-8 Strike Out b-0   F0
2    J.Donaldson 6-5 Double (CF) b-2   F0
2 2  B.Harper 6-5 Double (CF) 2-H b-2   F0
2 2  M.Betts 6-5 Double (CF) 2-H b-2   F0


Five straight on Givens card, but the last three were 6-5 Which is Tr-1-6, Do 7-20


Stones, thems some weird stats for sure!

J. Garcia was on the mound for the Kangaroos.

Man, you had that 5 column dialed in. Wow

I have a sneaking suspicion that we aren't a .700 ball club, but we're enjoying it while it lasts!

I was travelling for a couple of days and didn't really get to check this out. I've had good success with Garcia in other leagues, but obviously not this day. It's pretty bad when you're bringing in your mop-up guy with nobody out in the 1st! I did manage to rebound to somewhat return the favor to Sonny Gray in game 3 that night:
