A win would be huge

[G-Snarls]

Don't love the pitching matchup tho

[max silver]

A win would be huge

 

Not giving up a 7 spot in the first inning would be a good start.

[Orgfiller]

This is a favourable matchup for us if anything. Bassitt is better than Urquidy, his first few starts of 2023 notwithstanding.

[Stottlemyres_Bloody_Chin]

Wish Varsho was not hitting cleanup

[justafan]

Can someone remind me why we have Belt?

[John_Havok]

To hold up our pants?

[justafan]

To hold up our pants?

 

Pretty much!

Kiermaier has the opposite effect on the ladies.

[John_Havok]

Kiermaier has the opposite effect on the ladies.

 

And many men.

[JFD]

At least our better catcher is behind the plate for this one

[Jonn]

Winning would be wonderful. But I would love to watch a game that isn't over after the 1st inning lol.

[Carlos Danger]

And many men.

 

Anyone notice the Pat Tabler announcement was right after the KK signing... Maybe Pat knew if he stayed with the Team he might cross the line...

[G-Snarls]

[DigitalRock]

We need good Bassit tonight

[DigitalRock]

Vlad is frustrated

[DigitalRock]

Out

[Stangstag]

Ahh man, I feel like every time Bo tries for a steal he gets nailed by a perfect throw.

[jaysthebest]

How many times did Bichette got caught for stealing?

[Grant77]

Is there a different view they showed on the field? There was no way to tell from those s***** views.

[Stangstag]

Vlad is frustrated

 

Since the first home game he’s been yelling every at bat almost

[JaysAllMighty]

I'm not a fan of Bichette walking off the field before the decision

[Orgfiller]

Kirk is already putting on a clinic at the bottom of the zone.

[Stangstag]

That was a sick play

[DigitalRock]

This ump is horrid

[Stangstag]

I'm not a fan of Bichette walking off the field before the decision

 

Doesn’t really matter, not gonna change the umps mind or anything lol

[JaysAllMighty]

Doesn’t really matter, not gonna change the umps mind or anything lol

 

the original call was safe, he has no business leaving the bag until they declare him out

[Jonn]

We survived the first inning. Hopefully a good sign
