Yeah, we'll see who comes out for the 9th. Off day tomorrow plus a solid start from Gibson should help this bullpen a lot headed into Boston.

He's alright, voice is kind of whiny. But I'm pretty sure all of these guys, including Bruce, fall under the broad singer/songwriter umbrella.

I thought that was fair.

These poor Japanese fans. Wanted to see Ohtani, ended up with Fujinami.

Zach Bryan > pretty much everyone in the genre at the moment.

This is helping with our run differential/pythag or whatever.

i'd let Krehbiel and Fuji close this thing out.

Tack them on! That was a PISS MISSILE

Sounds like Kevin Brown trying to be clever. That's something he'd write.

Cionel is dialed in.

I like that someone thinks that Hyde is playing with fire here. This is fun!

Hey guys, @Roy Firestoneis THRILLED because Gibson got through 6!

Get ready to be thrilled, Roy! One more out!

I'd be pissed.

If Gibson could get through 7 that would be huge.

The swinging bunt!

Bases loaded, don't botch it.

I can't believe I just witnessed a Mateo walk.

Need more runs. Not trusting this depleted bullpen.

I really don’t care as much about the lineup tonight compared to worrying about how Gibson does.

These guys need to do their jobs. And that's what being a baseball relief pitcher is...I'm sure they'd all like to come into a clean inning. But they also know they might inherit a tough situation. These guys don't get to pick and choose what leverage situations they get to enter into and Hyde has to work with what he's got in regards to availability. Lopez is a veteran. He's been in high leverage situations before, he'll be in high leverage situations again...it's not his first rodeo. This board is weird. One second they want to throw youngsters to the wolves and then the next minute people want to baby veterans who might be too fragile for a high leverage situation because they might be too fragile for a high leverage situation.

I'm for the robot umpires, but I saw an article earlier this week (I think it was on the Athletic) that said that it's not just as easy as everyone wants it to be..they can't just have robot umpires all of a sudden. I'll try to find it and post the key points here as I didn't get to read all of it. MM's big prediction: something happens in this postseason with a blown call on a strike 3 looking or something in a key moment that has a significant impact on the outcome of a series and MLB is forced to wrestle with this issue because the outcry is too large to ignore. Maybe it's just me but the umpiring over the past 2 years or so really has gone downhill...or maybe I'm just paying a little closer attention to it. But it seems at least like once a series there's someone behind home plate that's completely awful.

****ing Colorado Rockies. 8/9 296 rarity score

@baltfancloser’s mentality eh?

Shut up Kevin Brown. AND DOWN GOES CABBAGE FUJINAMI SLICES HIM TO BITS what a cornball.
