    Should of let Greinke hit. He has hit three hrs this year. He could at least deliver a sacrifice.

    Greinke bats aroudn .240 with a few HR's. He's not your usual pitcher.

    That hurt extra since we sacrificed an out.

    I think they’re talking about the Chirinos hit. Or at least I was. Not sure if he could or not.

    Reddick should have run home from second on the hit into right field. Totally worth the risk.

    I can’t believe I want to beat this team worse than St. Louis and Atlanta combined

    Right? Ball was smoked right at Eaton, who wasn't playing deep and has a good arm.
    Greinke, who is still a freaking pitcher hitting, no matter how good he is for a pitcher, does his job and moves the runner to 2B
    Springer blisters a ball on 1 hop right to the SS

    Them's the breaks, but they played that series exactly like they should have.

    Keeping Reddick at 3rd was the conventional wisdom call. We might have to ditch conventional wisdom..

    It was a hard hit liner to right. Even a shitty throw gets him

    Did you want to bunt with 2 outs?

    That's the kind of sacrifice I was expecting, honestly. I would've trusted him to deliver a long-enough fly ball as much as anyone else on the team.

    He's a big boy and is going to have to adjust.
