That catch by Cutch made coming down here worth it, the rest is gravy.

Taillon with 4 straight perfect innings after a rocky start

Postby **willeyeam** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 4:33 pm

Pretty clear Rivero didn't have it but hard to pull that guy too. Ugh

Walk off HR Rodriguez

Postby **shafnutz05** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 5:42 pm

S-Rod is back.

The Timehop app has indicated to me that Sean Rod hit a walk off winner for the home team exactly one year ago today. Lady Irony doesn't take the summer off.

Picked a hell of a game to go to. First time back since 2005.

Postby **willeyeam** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 6:22 pm

Cubs blew it too. Back to 4.5 back

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 6:33 pm

I left after 9 kids couldn't do it any longer fun day at the ballpark

Postby **Robot B9** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 9:29 pm

As if any of these makes a difference.

Welp, made a difference today, so that's good. Channeling The Moose for some late season rally magic. 4.5 is still in it, at least for fleeting hope's sake.

I still don't like Sean Rodriguez.

I'm also terrified their solution to 3b for 2018 will be SeanRod/Freese.

It will take a lot more than a walk off home run to un-hate ShtRod

Your fears are logical

Postby **willeyeam** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:42 am

That's definitely going to happen. I wish JHay would get a little more time at 3B but that seems unlikely now

Postby **skullman80** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:48 am

People at the game legit gave him a standing O when he came in late in the game yesterday. It baffled me.

sean rodriguez? are you ****ing kidding me?

Postby **beerman** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:56 am

So Freese/Rodriguez occupy 3b and one bench spot. Backup catcher, Frazier, Osuna and ? Looks like another year without a real SS backup.

They'll really need to beef up the back end of the rotation and bullpen to compete.
