Bradley?  Bradley?   EFEN BRADLEY???????  i'M SICK ALREADY.   I just pray that our team goes out and gives Sale more than a run or two.  We need this game badly.

Maybe Holt too?  Why the two righties (Pearce and Skillet Glove Nunez) in there against a righty?

TRUE, but at the end of the NIGHT, they all get ICE CREAM !!! iono iono rofl rofl rofl

Devers needs to get his act together.  Below Mendoza line for 2 months.
Nunez has also been MIA all season....

Also - small sample size - but Mookie's been hitting .214 and his K-rate is higher than normal in the 4-3 record we have since the ASG. I think he's pressing too hard and swinging at some lousy pitches, in spite of the 1 (and 1 taken away) HR.

Nice 1st inning for Sale with 3 K's.

[markj]

Sale with 5 K's on 30 pitches. Pretty amazing.

[Bill-806]

Lets not go another night of almost ZERO offense ??? thumb_d iono iono iono

[longgame]

Rough inning for Sale but he got out of it.  Still, he won’t be able to go past 6 with the pitches he’s throwing so they better wake up the dead bats.

[Schloicka]

Top guys in our order have sucked lately. Nothing from them last night and more of the same tonight. Hard to score much if they are taking games off.

[Schloicka]

Sale might be done after 6. 100 pitches. Not very economical with his pitches but that happens when your a strike out pitcher.

[Schloicka]

Brasier coming in for the 7th.

MY GOSH, ya just can't HIDE DEVERS & NUNEZ in the same infield !!!  D D , we can't go to the post season with GLOVES like that …… HECK,  NUNEZ makes DICK STUART look "ALL WORLD" !!!! iono iono rofl rofl rofl

[markj]

Another dead bat night. JBJ was the goat last night and the hero tonight, but this one run lead is tenuous at best.
