Great job by Minter of battling back despite the umpiring.

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Not sure if Minter is a multiple inning reliever. Hope he gets out of this

To be fair, he had at least 1 K called a BB

Can VIZ close it out against the bottom of the order?

 

[chop2chip]

We have done a good job dodging West’s haymakers all night. Gotta feeling he’s going to go all out in the top of the 9th, so hopefully we can add one more run.

Joe West has been one of the worst umps for like 30 years now.

It’s cool...he’s a cowboy and everybody for some reason loves him.

He’s an awful fckn umpire....like JIm Joyce...everybody thought Joyce was great because he apologized and cried like a little h0e after he fcked Gallarraga out of his perfect game..

 

[nsacpi]

there's no need to fear, Minty Hippos here

 

[Enscheff]

17.8k attendance.

 

[CyYoung31]

Wow. Great inning offense.

 

[thethe]

Looks like we want to end this game

Monday night bro..school still in...stadium no loner easily accessible from 75 N

 

[CyYoung31]

I’m glad I didn’t blink that inning.

 

[USMA76]

I guess the Braves just felt like forfeiting the bottom of the eighth inning. Three pitches three outs.

It’s also like 40 degrees in mid-April. **** that.

I don't know what the number's say about Jim Joyce, but player's have consistently rated him as one of the best umpires in the game. West has often been rated as one of the worst.

17.8k attendance.

That's about the same number as Pittsburgh and Tampa bay combined. Other totals around the league not in yet

 

[CJ9]

Every pitch from Viz makes me hold my breath.

 

[chop2chip]

Viz is a great closer for a team with no aspirations.

If you are actually invested in the outcome, this guy will boil your stomach night-to-night

 

[sturg33]

Attendance around baseball is in a bit of a crisis mode... they're pacing for about 6.5M less fans than last year.

Obviously, weather is a factor... but I don't think it explains it all

 

[chop2chip]

17.8k attendance.

You couldn't pay money to go watch a game in that weather. Those fans huddled in blankets look miserable.
