Thanks for bringing in a RHP for Barger in a batter

Because Schneider (or the geeks upstairs) isn't very good at his (their) job(s)

Would have been lefty lefty matchup on Loperfido if they didn’t



Joey has a 800 OPS against lefties this year. I'm okay with that.

That's the nature of being a part-time player, sure. Without a time machine, we can't change that.

It's still higher than France's OPS against Lefties.

Wow, got lucky, especially after Vlad swung at a pitch like 3 feet outside on a 3-1 count.

Maton pitches around Vlad to get to Barger and it pays off for now

Hopefully Kirk can get it elevated. Just don’t hit it on the ground.

Best catcher in the game.
