Gibson is not long for this game. He isnt fooling anyone with his slop today

He definitely doesn't have the command from his last few starts

[ArtVanDelay]

Jon Singleton

[Jagwar]

We might need to get a Norfolk pitcher on the plane

[Roy Firestone]

get the third out Gibson

[ArtVanDelay]

A 1st place baseball team has Jon Singleton hitting 3rd in 2023.

Pirates are a half game up on them.

Defensive positioning question:

I notice that with nobody on base and a ball hit to the wall in left, Mountacstle follows the runner all the way to second while the second baseman filters off the base into deep SS area.  Is this common?  I was always taught that the 1B follows the runner but aligns himself with whoever fields the ball in LF and stops short about halfway between 1B and 2B as a safety backup for a throw to 2B.

I thought the first baseman was covering 2B in case the runner strayed too far off the bag towards 3B

It’s just the only chance Mountcastle has to run the bases lately.

Ha. That might be it. 

[Gurgi]

Santander must really miss Mullins because I dont think he as gotten a hit since Mullins got hurt.

[Gurgi]

Hays cant be stopped you can only hope to contain him

[Mooreisbetter27]

Come on Hicks! Come through again!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Argh! Hicks gave it a ride! Dang near had extra bases. 

[Gurgi]

The young Barkley looks awful.  Uncanny Valley looking at that abomination.   It doesnt even look alive.
