btownqb Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I guess I don't understand Suarez getting that AB there for Freeman. 1 out in the 7th... runners on 1st and 2nd with a lefty pitching and lefty Freeman, who's playing 3rd AB..... I fully understand Suarez struggles, but it's 9-4 and he might run into one and give ya a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Sure enough as I'm saying that... Schrock *spelling... doubles. Drive in 2. Suarez PH for the next batter haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 He pops out. That's the right move though. Unfortunately ES pops out. 9-6 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Another brutal loss to the Sawks. Domingo German was breezing along with a no-hitter thru 7 innings and the Yanks with a 4-0 lead. Bottom of the 8th, lead-off hitter reaches on a double, breaking up the no-hitter. Boone takes out German and the relief pitchers gave up 5 runs and the Sawks won 5-4! There was a time when the Yanks had one of the best bull pens in the league, sadly, not any more. Boone better get a handle on it real quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 We set out in the sun deck right under the smoke stacks and had two home runs come close to us. Also a couple of more deep balls that hit the wall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are they going to play him since they already have an all star 2B. Today we were only 3 rows up from the wall in right center and I couldn't get a good read on the home run by the Cardinals in the 19th. The replay looked like someone reached over the fence and touched the ball. They reviewed it and said it was a home run. So the people who watched the game did the fan touch the ball.

The fan actually caught it in his hat. But, replays appeared to indicate that the ball was already cleared over the fence. It was close, but was probably the right call to leave it a home run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 On the big screen it looked liked he reached over the fence but couldn't tell. Even if it was a double the next batter singled so he would have scored anyways. I think today is the third time the Refs scored 6 or more runs and still lost.

You can throw the Yankees bullpen in there as well. They're great at blowing big leads for your team..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you only allow your starters to go 5 or 6 innings then you will wear your bullpen out. You either have to prepare your starters to be able to pitch more than a 100 pitches in the game or teach them to have better command. When a lot of starters reach 100 pitches by the 5th inning you will have trouble having a good bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel there is more to it than just "blaming" it on the starters. -I think hitters take way more pitches than they used to. -Specialty relief pitching has taken over.

Really good move by the Padres once again. Get one of the games better players on a team friendly deal until end of next year. 1984 has permanently made me dislike the Padres but really like the moves they've made.

ATX_sig Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Went to the Padres/Nats game in San diego on the 5th. I am glad to see them doing good snce they lost the Chargers. That place rocks when they are good. Nats beat them but had great seats behind home though we landed a table in the bar just a few rows up behind our seats. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
