We had no business winning that matchup.

Yeah, we stole that one.

 

[Tapate50]

Keep winning those Cheerios starts boys

 

[The Tariff King]

We over came a Cheerios start.

Hopefully that's the last time we see him throw the ball for us. I think we're off Thursday (Strider throws Wednesday I believe?). So we could skip Cheerios and throw Fried on regular rest next Friday.

This team is so good they win even when Cheerios pitches.

I would rather bump guys back a day for extra rest.

Sorry if this has been posted, but Michael may be figuring it out. Between he, Winans and the expected arrival of Wright in a month or so, Cheerios is surely gone soon. This is Soroka’s last three starts:

16.2 IP
10 H
3 ER (1.62 ERA)
5 BB
25 K

Gotta keep pushing against these lower teams before our encounter with LAD.

We have four at Dodger Stadium where we've sucked in the regular season for the last 10 years. Need to keep pushing for homefield.

I think they're keeping him down to save an extra year on his clock. I could see Winans recalled though.

Easy win

Webb vs. Chirinos...never a doubt.

Fitting our dearly departed friend Rico’s namesake was inducted into the Braves hOf today.

Mookie is going insane in LA. He now leads the NL in fWAR. I know Ronnie’s been crazy unlucky and his metrics are lightyears above everyone else, but he needs to find a way to increase his production even more or he’s going to lose out on MVP.

He's like -800 to win MVP according to some books. He just has to keep doing what hes doing.

The only time I have been truly disappointed after a WS loss was in 1996, but if this crew doesn't win it all it will be a failure. Oh, and Rosario wasn't so sorry tonight was, he?

Coming into tonight lefties were hitting .060 with a .125 wOBA against Rogers so of course Eddie takes him deep.

I think that was the first pitch he left up in the middle of the zone.

When this team goes into their house and bitch slaps them then no dodger is winning MVP

God I hate the dodgers.

Watching Urias' fat ass just mow down this Marlins lineup

Ronnie could lose the fWAR lead by a few points and still win by a large amount in the votes with a 40/60 season while hitting well over .300. I agree though, he needs to increase his power production a bit.
