I can feel the grand slam. Can you feel the grand slam?

We officially have somebody up in the bullpen 2/3 through the first inning.

And then he goes out and 1-2-3's the Pirates like chumps. Walker didn't even swing at the first two pitches because he didn't expect anything but balls.

I guess somebody woke Hammel up.

Castro continues his streak of not being able to catch poo poo at second, I see.

Let's face it, when you're two down in the bottom of the 9th, Javy is not the guy you want to have to lean on. I like him a lot, and it's great when he blasts one out, but with his record it was a perfect setup to a wild strikeout and we all knew it.

He may not be the dinger machine we expected, but Baez is certainly building hims3lf as an incredible defensive third baseman.

I mean hey if they want to keep hitting to Baez, fine by me. He can keep on getting chumps out one by one forever.

What the gently caress was even that inning? Caminero could have thrown the ball backwards and Addy would have swung at it. :sigh:

Now we just need to hold it together for 3 outs. Fingers crossed.

also the entire bullpen has been sketchy as gently caress lately

Yeah any game where we don't have to lean on the pen is a good game. Also Lester never really looked too bad this game, barring the 7th where he got into a bit of a jam. He got out of it though and looks perfectly fine in the 8th, so keeping him in to close seemed like the right call.

The Cubs/Pirates WC game is going to be such a loving coin flip :smith:

That's what Arrieta is for, even if he can change the odds of that flip from 50/50 to 60/40, it makes all the difference.

He's been mashing in the past month and it's the position where he can do the least damage.

His bat has certainly improved, but not enough to justify how many second base throws he's hosed up, imo. He's a good DH, though.
