2025 MLB Season

[MuggsyB]

He's jumped out the way of pitches his whole life. Yes a mistake but I get it.

No excuses. 

[The Sultan]

No excuses.

Dude just STFU. Last thing this team needs is you bandwagoning.

[The Sultan]

Gotta understand the situation there as a batter though.

"Yeah it was a mistake..."

[MuggsyB]

Dude just STFU. Last thing this team needs is you bandwagoning.

Absolutely no excuses.  It was an auto take one on the leg with a soft curve ball.  You're not looking at this rationally. 

[cheebs09]

Yeah, it's a bummer, but definitely his natural reaction. I doubt his gameplan was to go up there and get hit.

Hopefully they can get into their bullpen earlier tomorrow. There's runs to be had. Need Freddy to bring it tomorrow.

100% correct.

Yes.  And btw the Dodgers should have never pulled Snell. 

[GB Warrior]

Brewers blew a golden opportunity. Now they're on their back foot against a team that will smell blood.

[MU82]

Wow.  Seattle winning 2 on the road is looking good.

Yeah, baby! HRs and bullpen ... that's how you win in October.

[SoCalEagle]

Go Dodgers!!!!

[BM1090]

Would have been great if he took it. But have you ever been in the batters box when it comes at you? Especially if you're looking for something away and then you suddenly see one at you? It's human instinct.

Sucks but it is what it is. Gotta get to the dodgers bullpen quicker tomorrow

[MU82]

Rizzo woulda taken one for the team.

Not being facetious. He really would have. Then again, he practically stood in the strike zone.

I was thinking Fernando Vina.

[GB Warrior]

Brice needs to retire the Jesus Won tshirt. Jesus got pelted for the team

It's similar to defensive players in football who grab the interception instead of batting the pass down on 4th down. It's a Pavlovian instinct they've learned their entire careers.

Correct.  Joe Beer Guts acting like they'd have stood in there when they would have been on the ground is an interesting hot TAEK.

That was the ultimate tip the cap ballgame.  Snell was dealing.  Dodgers left 11 guys on base.  They should have won 10-1.  That's ball.

the funny thing about muggsy is it still would've sailed over his head.

Yup. If they win tonight, I think they are still in a good spot. They left Milwaukee 1-1 in 2018 and still got to 7.

I'm not sure if they could have done more to work the counts on Snell. He was pounding the zone. Hopefully the end gave them some confidence that once they get to the bullpen, the hitters are in a good spot.

We will never be free until people stop attacking our diminutive citizens.  People totally run roughshot over our sizeable dwarf population and it's not right.  I'm 5'4, but true little people are much shorter.  It's extremely disappointing that we don't hear a word about extreme prejudice towards the super diminutive.  There are no repercussions whatsoever for short shaming.  Haven't you noticed that?  Totally inexcusable and one day revenge will take place.

Agreed. Sure there were a couple bad swings here and there, but this wasn't the Blake Snell that struggled to get through the order twice in 90 pitches. That changeup in particular was a weapon and he was painting.

Maybe you should speak out against prejudice going on across the country at the moment against people that look "illegal".  The prejudice that is running roughshod with no legal justification other than skin color and lacks any oversight or due process.

At least short people (unless brown, of course) aren't subjected to Kavanaugh Stops

[Uncle Rico]

He threw the changeup almost exclusively against the right handlers.  Vaughn was the only one that stayed back on them and pounded those into the ground.  Snell was simply masterful.  Some days you're Team Europe, some days you're Team USA

you guys have it easier than us vertically advantaged Americans. You don't have to duck when walking through doorways or on sidewalks when walking under overhanging branches. You have more legroom on planes and aren't limited when buying your car due to lack of legroom on the driver's side. You have no idea the struggles we face on a daily basis.

To be fair, Muggsy does have to ask the flight attendant for a boost to get into his seat, but otherwise, spot on.

[Biggie Clausen]

Like BA said on the broadcast, Turang's dodging that inside pitch was fight or flight.  I'm sure he wishes he could get that moment back.  And credit to Treinen for immediately following it up with a great, veteran pitch.  He had one to waste on a 2-2 count, and he got Turang to expand.

Also, oddly enough, I feel like we don't get that good outing from Priester without the turd he threw in game 3 vs the Cubs.  Glad he got that out of his system when he did, though I didn't feel that way at the time.
