Boom!
My boy got one of his foul balls signed by about 75%of the team and he got Kevin Parada to sign his foul ball that he got!
He’s pumped!
GBO!!

This all day! I do miss Weigel's milk down here.

If Beck had shouted the epithet rather than using a hand signal to say the same thing, no one would have said anything about it. If you are any kind of lip reader you can see the players (and Tony) using the F word frequently.

Nice!

He shouldn't have been looking at second base. There was one out, and with a five run lead the second out at first secures the win all but 99%. The play was to first all the way.

Wrong. The DP was in effect. Actually, bc the runner on 2nd had to hesitate bc of the line drive, play should have went to third and it would have kept the force at all 3 bags.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Nice!

I’ll post pics tomorrow, on our way home and I have to get up in 4 hours!
GBO!!

Something HAD to been said by the RF earlier in the game for Beck to react like that. Same as Wright St last year, when Gilbert hit his Granny, our players passed right by him screaming at Wright St dugout.

Someone said one of them was mouthing off all night. Don't know if it was RF.

Arky currently losing?

they lost

I agree the DP was possible. That is not his point. His point is about the stats given the lead size.

Got rattled and was second guessing himself. If you’ve played baseball before you know where he’s coming from. Gotta have a short memory

Late to the party but Ortega not being at second to turn the double didn't help.

 

[bpalmer28]

Already got some of our own fans crying about it

This the attitude that makes me hate being associated with you guys.

Beg to disagree, respectfully. The two runners advancing from 2nd to third and 1st to 2nd represented meaningless runs. You get the second out and all but end the game right there. Even a three run homer isn't going to beat you then, or even a Granny. No way they can score 5 or six runs on our bullpen when we already have two outs.

 

[VAVol85]

Missed most of the game working. Sounds like some struggles on offense and defense. Take always?

My takeaways:
We had a rough night defensively
Hit into too many double plays
Never figured out GT starting pitcher who had a great night
But we hung around until GT finally gave us an opportunity in the 9th and then we absolutely punished them

Correct.

I get what you are saying, but you turn a DP and game is Actually OVER.

When I typed it, I knew I would get this response bc I even thought it hahahaha.

Yeah, It was just layin there.

 

[BreatheUT]

Once again the player of the game was the middle reliever.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If we suspend a player in the post-season for simply flipping the bird, I have lost all faith in this world. How freaking soft that would be. Grow some thicker skin if that hurts your feelings. Ain’t no crying in baseball.

Agreed. You either punish in game after it happens or it's non-punishable IMO.

In football it's 15 yards, in basketball it's likely a technical, in baseball you warn.

But once he hesitated, play was at 3rd.

What? Please explain

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

What? Please explain

Shorter throw and the runner had to hesitate also bc of the line drive.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

I get what you are saying, but you turn a DP and game is Actually OVER.

I hear ya, but you're not gonna get a DP with such a fast runner at the plate and the ball not hit sharply. Gotta know who's running. The batter was so fast just that little hesitation cost Lawson his chance to get him.

He agreed with my post about taking either out. DP is inherently more risky than a single out. That was simply the point he wanted to make. Acknowledge and move on because it is a valid point. Lawson had some options however none of them worked out.

I agree hence me saying he should've went to 3rd. Shorter throw and that runner had to hesitate also.
