Then hit Russell 7th and Heyward 8th, we have something to bring the pain in every spot.
Happ and Zobrist as supersubs, we're really set.

We deserve to lose this game. How the **** do you not having someone covering first on a pitcher who is doing a sac bunt?

Your defense is very reminiscent of Milwaukee.

Yeah I dont disagree, but I still am not sold on him playing everyday in left. Those first 5 should be playing nearly every day at their positions.

Dumb, dumb move Colorado.
Rizzo never cares about getting hit, and he's ****** off.

I have a lot of respect for Rizzo. If i got hit that much Id be setting up as far outside of the box as I could get.

He has showed a little more emotion this season. I don't know what changed

That "visitNebraska" ad is just one more bush league thing about Colorado today.

Likely would get replaced for a defensive sub late in most games.

No elbow armor on Rizzo either.

Remember that monster of an arm guard that Bonds hung out over the plate? Pitchers really had to hate that.

 

[CycloneErik]

Almora couldn't slow down on that one.
I hate Colorado.

 

[chuckd4735]

At this rate, Almora may retire from baseball in 15 minutes.

Yep. There’s only one good thing about Colorado and it ain’t their baseball team.

 

[Cyched]

Out

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Lol

 

[CycloneErik]

Excellent finish.

 

[FerShizzle]

Weirdest game I have watched in a long while.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Congrats on taking the series. See you guys back in the windy city in a week or so. For some reason this year we tend to play better on road than at home this year.

What do you see the lineup to look like at Cleveland against RHP Tomlin? Schwarber at DH? What order does Maddon trot them out there?

This could be interesting as both pitchers have struggled but neither has ever given up a hit to any hitter on the opposing squad according to mlb.com with only 3 ABs so hitters really haven't even seen these pitchers.

Almora CF
Baez 2B
KB (if healthy) 3B
Rizzo 1B
Contreras C
Schwarber DH
Happ LF
Heyward RF
Russell SS

is my first guess. Unless Joe wants to get another lefty in there with LaStella
