ParticipantI’m still not a fan of goldy hitting second. I would probably have Carlson in front of molina. But it probably dont matter.
August 28, 2021 at 6:48 pm #171017My boy Sosa keeps doing it. Nice start.
August 28, 2021 at 6:57 pm #171020And again. Great night Sosa.
August 28, 2021 at 6:59 pm #171021And again, I ask the question, why does Schildt continually bench Sosa for DeOut? Is is so obvious at this point which one deserves to be playing!
August 28, 2021 at 7:12 pm #171023Woke up from an unscheduled nap and we’re up 7-0. Wife out of town again so din-din is a can of sardines and a can of peaches. I did get some more grape Nehi and Klondike bars.
August 28, 2021 at 7:17 pm #171024Wonder which happens less often — hitting for the cycle or hitting 2 triples in a game?
August 28, 2021 at 7:28 pm #171025bccran
ParticipantTechnical question. Does an intentional walk go towards your OBP and OPS?
August 28, 2021 at 7:35 pm #171026I have never seen a player whack three triples in a game, let alone in his first 3 at bats in a game. Good luck Mr. Sosa….. let’s get it.
Good question Cranny. I would say yes to that question.
August 28, 2021 at 7:38 pm #171027Ouch…..Sosa lines out to left. Still 7-0 Birds
August 28, 2021 at 7:42 pm #171028Good question too, Euro. That’s a toughie. I’d say two triples occurs more often in a game by a particular player. I think we may have to engage Skippy and his crack staff over at the esteemed Elias Sports Bureau with a few of our questions.
Simple but extremely healthy din-din. You’re going to live to be 103, Bling.
August 28, 2021 at 7:44 pm #171029Bling, you and Radar from MASH distant cousins or something, he liked the grape Nehi as well, though only if it was cold…

ParticipantWell had to put up a shelf for gf, missed the outburst. We need some games like this. With waino pitching we probably didn’t need it but thats ok. Sosa should replace Dejong rest of season in my opinion. At least a rotation. Plus I wouldn’t mind him moving up the lineup.
August 28, 2021 at 8:13 pm #171033What the heck was Edman doing on the Bader throw that hit the bag. Bader gets the error I guess, but that’s on Edman.
August 28, 2021 at 8:14 pm #171034bccran
ParticipantBader did not have to dive for that ball. What a drama king.
August 28, 2021 at 8:14 pm #1710351982 willie
ParticipantThey give an error to bader for throwing the ball where he should. Edman should have gotten that error. That scorer needs to go.
August 28, 2021 at 8:17 pm #1710361982 willie
ParticipantYea bader shouldn’t have to dive for a ball the other guys wouldn’t even have gotten within five feet of. Hilarious!
August 28, 2021 at 8:27 pm #171039bccran
ParticipantIt was a very catchable ball, willie. That he could have caught at his shins.
Bader just walked on a high pitch that was almost over his head. Does that count toward his OBP and OPS, willie?
August 28, 2021 at 8:40 pm #1710411982 willie
ParticipantThat’s your opinion bccran, funny I didn’t hear the announcers critiquing him like that. Maybe he wanted to make sure he caught it. Unlike some who always jump on somebody to be negative, I’ll be positive. Plus I went back and slow mode it, nah it’s very probably it would have went off his mitt if he tried it. Fans should stick up for their players when they hustle. If you don’t, I don’t consider you a true fan, I don’t care if that person has been watching a hundred years. Maybe it’s time for them to watch the cubs or some other loser organization.
August 28, 2021 at 8:43 pm #171042I have been saying since June that Sosa needs to play more. And I have been calling for him to hit in the second slot, and move Goldy down to 3 or 4.
This might be the turning point where we see Sosa more than DeJong. Of course he will need to keep hitting, but he has done well whenever given a chance.
Will Paul D become the next MCarp, who was the next Allen Craig? Seems we always have a guy who had been good and lost it. DeJong was never really outstanding on offense other than his rookie year though.
August 28, 2021 at 8:47 pm #1710431982 willie
ParticipantBicyclemike you are spot on. Would love to see him in the second position. I’m just not sure shildt is smart enough to make that move, he hasn’t done it yet
August 28, 2021 at 8:52 pm #171045Wainwright starting to lose some effectiveness in the 7th. Pirates with 2 on and 1 out. Up to 87 pitches.
August 28, 2021 at 8:54 pm #171046Dejong Bader and Carp should be playing elewhere next year.
August 28, 2021 at 8:56 pm #171047The ball Bader messed up last night was a rookie mistake. He needs Edmonds giving him a lesson or 3. You can’t catch every ball.
