Thought it was a 6PM start, god damnit.
Time for runs.

his defense gives him the floor of a 4th outfielder, hitting for contact is what will be the difference between starting and riding the bench (especially since he doesn't walk)

Hammel should bat next inning. He has had some good at bats today.. compared to some..

No would be a good time for Bryant and Rizzo to remember who they are

>>68509946
Not even in recent memory. They're good, but nowhere near Ramirez/Papi territory.

I wouldnt rule that out yet. Still young
>>68509120

Ramirez/Papi wasn't even the best lineup Ramirez was ever in. That'd be late 90's Indians with Thome.

no one on this website as ever dropped their spaghetti as that guy
Feels pretty bad, man.
But I think our bullpen overall is slightly less shit so it should be okay.

umpball is gonna cost us this game >:C

>>68510236
ahahah I know, I just like sports, thought I'd give baseball a go
>>68510227
If it was any other player it would be a strike out. See last batter out arguing strikes. Same pitch same location. Strike 3. Bitch boy harper has the tiniest strike zone.
What was that dive the guy on first base did?
How many innings does this one go?
>>68510302
The pitcher threw over, he had to dive to get back to the base in time. If the first baseman catches the ball and tags him before he touches the bag, he's out.
Pitchers do that to prevent baserunners from getting too much of a head start on getting to the next base.

I dont get the Alberto Barbosa meme, half of my country (including me) is called João (John if translated)
> heyward
I've never seen si many ground outs
>>68510549
Unlike most varieties of sportsball waitball has no set time limits and there are all sorts of ways players and managers can extend time consumed. Games have gone for more than 20 innings. At least it's not British waitball where matches can last for days.

He fucked us over and caused us to go into extras.
Then he's inconsistent as fuck with his plate

THIS ISN'T FUNNY
I WANT OFF THE RIDE
swear to fucking god epstein better make that deal for chapman and miller
>>68511780
same
>>68511789
It's called save your money. Really not that hard. Most Americans have to. Pensions are bullshit. Get paid to do nothing. Nice one lib.
>>68511712
>>68511712
but it is a strike. and If the ump didn't give Harper a walk on 6 strikes in the 9th, this game would've never gone to extra innings.
Should have been Warren from the start. Why would Joe let Cahill start the 12th?
>playoff atmosphere except most fans stick around during the playoffs
JD with the bantz
>don't use Warren as the effective closer to start the inning
>only put him in AFTER Cahill invariably shit things up
seriously, between this kind of shit and his frequent 7th inning memeing I think Joe WANTS to lose games sometimes.
>>68511816
pensions aren't nuts when it's in a contract with your employer. it's when the congress passes a law that just says "hey all these people get money now" that the market breaks down and weird shit happens.
>>68511851
I couldn't agree more
>>68511876
Even those fail sometimes.
>>68511816
Listen you stupid piece of GOP shit. Federal and State workers took a lot of cuts in pay in exchange for better benefits in times when you assholes cried poor, why, because you stupid shits keep running the economy into the ground. Then when the bill comes due you run away and leave a mess for some democrat to clean up. Which we always do. And still it's not enough for you cheap, dishonest, crooked, greedy, ignorant bastards and so another GOP candidate will ride into office on a wave of lies because morons like you eat that shit up!
>>68511932
of course they fail sometimes, my point was just that they aren't always a bad idea
game is probably over if that's fair
>>68511932
not federal ones - the federal govt can just print more money whenever it wants
>Illinois cannot print its own money, unfortunately
>>68511943
Lol easy killer.
All I said was pensions are bullshit. It's a waste of tax dollars. Benefits are alot different then pensions
>>68511943
>>68511876
"Hey give these people money, so they vote for me." is a real issue.
>>68511932
That's because lawmakers can just pass bills that say "I know we owe you but go fuck yourselves. Have fun working for the chinks we sold your country to."
WERTHQUAKE ONCE AGAIN
OH MY FUCK YES
>>68512001
Breathe helium.
>>68512011
when I said "with your employer" I meant private employer, ie not some gov. where they can trade pensions for votes.
