  1. Tying run on base. Come on Julio.
  2. I was just thinking 1 more out Turnbull...nope.
  3. Well good for you, I wouldn't have slept with him either.
  4. Oh and by the way, there wasn't any sting to get over from 1968 🙂
  5. I know. That's really the last straw, don't you think?
  6. You got an A because you knew that Kansas City was in Missouri!
  7. That's a change that has happened gradually over the last 4 or 5 decades I think. Guys like Camilo Pascual and Bert Blyleven used to make a living throwing curveballs, they must have been getting called strikes. Then the slider came along, late 60's maybe, and it was easier for umpires to call. Maybe over time they lost the ability to call the curveball, and pitchers stopped throwing it.
  8. Absolutely true. You hope for a swing and miss, knowing that you won't get a called strike.
  9. 100%. A ball can pass through a 3 dimensional strike zone and still hit the catcher in the shoes.
  10. The lineup management for the whole game has been too cute.
  11. This has the feel of a game that the players will win in spite of the manager's efforts.
  12. Got away with it. Ridiculous.
  13. And then a couple of ground ball singles
  14. Cisnero at least takes your mind off Schoop for a minute
  15. Can't pinch hit for Schoop of course because Baddoo is "the last man on the bench", a self-inflicted wound.
