Seems like a problem we've had for years now....Or is that just me

It's a problem Roy has complained about for years  And Frobby has always assured us that in fact we are league average at getting runners in.

1-0 curveball drops in for a strike.

[Chavez Ravine]

More still good.

I see a 9:45 starting time listed on a sports betting site.   Those folks stay on top of that kind of info because they need to know exactly when to take the game off the board when it starts... don't want to see a quick bloop and a blast and still have bettors able to plunk down some money on the team that has taken the lead.

True. With those two teams game will get over around 1:30 AM at the earliest.

Most of his pitches were in the low 80s that inning lol... beautiful stuff. Keep it going Helly!

[Yossarian]

It's crazy how fast these innings go and how you give up fewer runs when a pitcher doesn't walk 6 guys  per game

[Natty]

Helly made it thru 5 innings 0 runs. 63 pitches. 

[Natty]

His curve looks unhittable and he is really mixing up pitches good. 

[Aristotelian]

If we can pull off this game, we would be 2.5 out of the 2nd WC. That doesn't seem so bad.

Was going to watch "Suits" at 9, but I'll stick around to see how Jeremy finishes out

I can't recall a hard hit out by the Royals. Gentry ran down a ball down the LF line that was hit fairly well, but almost everything has been routine.

[MDK02]

Wow are you kidding me?? That's atrocious!

[eddie83]

Brutal call there, clearly ball 4. Gentry had a quality at bat.

Haven't watched that show in a few years, last time I was watching regularly was just when Mike left the firm and went off on his own.

Some gorgeous women on that show.

Extend Hellickson now!!!! Seriously...I wonder what he will be asking.
