Game 139 Thread: Sept 3 @ Pirates, 3.40p

If this game is like yesterday's, it's gonna be torture.

Ohtani (1-1, 4.18) vs. Ashcraft (4-2, 2.58).

Our dispriting loss to the Pirates yesterday may have been allayed by the Padres' loss to the Orioles, allowing us to keep our lead of 2.5 games in the NL West (with 24 games to play). But we're now two full games behind the Phillies, who took the day off yesterday in the middle of their series with the Brewers (weird!), so we're still staring at having to play in the first round of the playoffs.

It would be great if Ohtani could right the ship here. After all, we've got Paul Skenes tomorrow.

Freeland is batting .195 with a .615 OPS.

How can we have a $400M payroll and still trot these clowns out there

Steve Sax said...

Emmet Sheehan gives up another solo HR so it's 2-0 Pirates. And we're not done with the second inning.

Steve Sax said...

Rushing replaces Slappy, who got hurt from a foul ball. Fucking A.

Steve Sax said...

Rushing with a PH single

Steve Sax said...

Freeman walks.

Steve Sax said...

Alex Call check swings the ball right in front of the plate, leaving the bases loaded. Again.

Steve Sax said...

This team’s offense SUCKS

Two on, none out in the fifth. Rushing lines out, and then Freeman GIDPs.
