Michael Massey…

Alright. Quit fucking around!
That’s Witt’s fault. It hit him in the glove, so to speak.
Rare bobby error
I want Massey shot out of a cannon immediately
Good move. Get the L/L. Gorman is shit against his people. I’m prepared to eat my words.
Breh…
Disasterous inning my goodness. Hold them Lynch
I love how Q acts like it’s basically a requirement to sit your starter after the 6th
### Pitching Substitution
Pitching Change: Daniel Lynch IV replaces John Schreiber.
Noah always gets fucked.
We still got the lead, we’ll take it
Excellent job by Mr. Lynch IV. Now this is going to be a nailbiter.
Thank you Lynch. Now we need to score some more runs.
Did they give justification as to why they pulled Cameron? Dude was lights out
Yeesh! Another tight game. Get some insurance please!!
Good job Lynchiv! I just remembered I forgot to implement his userflair.
That could’ve been a whole lot worse…
Danny Quatro ❤️
I’ll take that Cags dong this inning please.
Could really use some insurance runs here
Q is a fuckin moron 60% of the time. The other 40% of the time, he’s just stupid as hell.
It didn’t take Schrieber long to light a match to Cameron’s quality start.
HOLY AUDIO EXPLOSION
Vinnie is working so hard to prove his doubters from early in the season wrong these past few series. I love it!!
Vinnie’s been on fire lately. Love to see it. I knew he wasn’t going to struggle all year.
That will bring cags up unless salvy hits into a double play. Home run time.
Stay hot Vinnie 🤌🤌🤌
might think about Rave to run for Vinnie here, then move Jac to 1st on defense?
Caglianone time
Maybe try swinging stuff within 2 feet of the plate next time Salvy. Good god.
Did Salvy see a strike that at bat?
Cags Bomb, please 🙏 baseball gods
### Pitching Substitution
Pitching Change: John King replaces Riley O’Brien.
The Caglianone bomb will come in due time
It’s okay. Not everyone has explosive starts to the majors like Noah Cameron and Ryan O’Hearn.
