This one is gonna haunt them. Oh well, move on to the next one.
What kind of offering do I leave out for the Baseball Gods tonight to ensure Maximum Fried tomorrow?
At least it won’t be a day game tomorrow
Bottom of the order feed the top. The top just decided to not show up. And the pitching was…not great. Really need to buckle down tomorrow
Fuck it really is one of those things, Max is concussed and Wright still out with arm fatigue, pitch either and this one is a wrap. Just glad we’re getting the kinks out so to speak and unless some of these pitchers shape up they’re not coming on the 40 man roster in October, hell a rusty Soroka probably takes their spot in 30 days. On to the game tomorrow, boys aren’t finished yet.
We won’t the first two which gave us the flexibility to allow Jake to throw a stinker. If we take 3 out of 4 by winning tomorrow that’s a huge W. We still have another series with them so let’s try to stay under 4 GB
Ok let’s win tomorrow.
Max on the bump tomorrow LFG
Love seeing like… 10 comments between here and game thread calling out Olson for playing poorly against Scherzer and 1 lonely Riley comment for being terrible all fucking month lol.
next time he hits a HR tho I’m gonna see those MVP comments.
Riley got that contract and his bat vanished right after.
Who the hell is even pitching tomorrow
At the end of the day, I need to get over wanting a division streak (not giving up) but it’s not the end of the world if we just get a WC
I know I sound so annoying so apologies. I’m several drinks in
Fried starting tomorrow! YES!
If we start Kyle wright over Odorizzi, or if we use McCugh instead of stephens in the 9th then I feel like we win this game
Only move I’ve seen AA make at any trade deadline that I didn’t like was Odorizzi and that’s only become more true. I’m sorry but this dude has no business starting another game ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE METS WHEN FUCKING SHERZER IS STARTING
Wow, our 1-5 battlers in the lineup had 0 hits tonight, that’s really why we lost.
That was a frustratingly winnable game
SNIT JUST CONFIRMED TOMORROW IS MAX DAY
I need Game 6 Max tomorrow like I need air
It can’t be understated how much that Acuña CS killed us. Yes the throw was perfect but why even bother? You have a guy on the mound who’s struggling and you just bail him out, allowing the Mets to give Diaz a clean inning in the 8th. There is no way they would have went to Diaz in the 7th if Dansby reached, so we would have likely forced Ottavino out of the game and forced them to use another arm (and none of them really scare me other than Diaz). And on top of that McCann is known for being a good defensive catcher, that’s why he’s in the lineup despite being hot garbage at the plate. Very frustrating.
3 out of 4 would be a huge win.
Oops Max goes tmr, sorry doomers I know you were burning the midnight oil with terrible takes on how the season is over with deGrom pitching
Everyone that constantly criticizes snit seeing exactly what happens when he gets tossed lol
Vaughn is legit
Snitker spouting some straight up dumb as fuck takes about Odorizzi right now.
Saying he showed some promise, made an adjustment, and definitely showed some long term benefit potential. Fucking hell man.
I need Max to pull a game 6 World Series performance out tomorrow
Yankees fans are losing their minds right now. 🤣 They doom better than any fanbase I’ve ever seen.
Any word on who pitches tomorrow?
