Hit 'em where they ain't ...... and even if you hit 'em where they are, they just might fumble it or throw it away.

What an inning.  2 errors, a wild pitch, two seeing eye ground all singles, a walk 

Very well should have been three errors but they didn’t count dropped ball by Andrus on Mancini short fly to shallow center

Yea. My bad I was so excited I hit 7 instead of 6 on my phone.

I've been watching  the Dodgers, Pads and Giants a lot. It really looks like two very good teams and one pretender, but the Giants keep getting it done.

Me as well. How about Milwaukee? Only allowed 2 runs in two games vs the Dodgers. I really like Josh Hader. He's great! I also watch Colorado and Arizona.I actually like AZ because I used to live there and went to a ton of games.

Harvey walked a batter on 4 pitches, and then went 2-0 on the very next batter ...... and he swung at the 2-0 pitch. Thanks.

Relatively quick inning.  Now go out there and make Luzardo labor through another long one.

Shut-down inning!

He wasn't quite that wild. The walk included two pitches that were in the strike zone, though.

I know, the umpire was squeezing him. But it still was a bad idea to swing at a 2-0 pitch when you are down by 6 runs and the previous batter walked on 4 pitches. If the umpire is doing you favors, don't stop him from doing so.

I didn't say otherwise -- just pointing out that Harvey didn't look like a guy who couldn't get the ball over the plate. 

Nonetheless, in that situation, down by six, you've got to take some pitches to try to get on base.

Thing is with this umpire, he’s not calling it both ways. That’s what drives players nuts.

This zone is awful.

This guy is the poster boy for why they need the electronic zone.
