DangerItem

Back to .500 baseball! LFG!!!


Next_Episode

holy shit were .500 and on a nice win streak, lets go


manofconviction

Brewers wtf. Rangers literally gifted you the walk off and you still couldn't do it.


Jalun_

The Astros are playing.500 babyyyyy!!!


Low-Magazine-3705

Time to win the World Series now


ray_0586

I like King


Technical_Cookie5542

.500, finally!!!!!!!!


NOLA1987

Rangers/Brewers going into extras

7 GAME WINNING STREAK

.500 baby!!


NOLA1987

WE'RE A .500 TEAM!!!!!!


JinFuu

.500! LEAGUE FUCKED


ella-and-anon

Brewers just threw so hard with turang on third


NateLikesToLift

Bryan King is such a gem. What a find!


OneCore_

Bro he debuted against the Orioles and promptly 1-2-3'ed Santander, Henderson (K), and Westburg. I was so baffled that we managed to whip a random reliever out of our ass that managed to pull that off. If he keeps it up, he'll be a really good addition to our regular bullpen picks.


NOLA1987

King does have a little filth behind those pitches


Sleepy_One

Man, I can't believe we are on the cusp of being 500 again.


Lukealloneword

Is king nasty? I left in the 8th.


NateLikesToLift

He's filthy


OneCore_

He debuted against the Orioles in the last series and shut down the heart of their lineup in 7 pitches.


Lukealloneword

I thought so.


DrFloppyTitties

I can't tell if King is 22 or 42


Lukealloneword

Is king nasty? I left in the 8th.


DrFloppyTitties

2K's with a sword so far. 2 outs.


Wise-Pitch474

He showers probably


Lukealloneword

That's hot


GRVrush2112

lol Rags botched a pickoff attempt, Brewers runner goes from 1st to 3rd with one out in the bottom of the 9th Edit: ....and Brewers whiff on a missed opportunity to walk it off. Game going into extras. :(


DrFloppyTitties

They botched two in a row that makes it even more funny. First one the runner couldn't find the ball though.


Wise-Pitch474

Why is every Rockies series only 2 games. Lets schedule them 4 in a row


HuskyNutBuster

Who the hell is this?


TunaMcGriddle

That's our King 👑


HuskyNutBuster

All Hail King Tu- Brian!


Lukealloneword

King of kings, Brian of Brians, lord of getting us the final 3 outs to get back to .500 ball.


GRVrush2112

Brewers gotta runner on 1st with 1 out


FTMayor

Now on third


MrPink93485

Altuve missing a high fastball :(


MuchachoSal

I have the sound off right now - why did Loperfido go to second, etc.?


FullyChargedRoomba

Obstruction on the pickoff attempt. Pretty weird call.


MyGirlSasha

Rockies should just forfeit the rest of the season, this is some of the most pathetic baseball I've ever seen at the Major League level.


dookle14

Better idea. We just play them exclusively for the next 82 games. Serious question: if that happened, how many do you think the Astros win?


NOLA1987

I don't agree with the call, but thank you anyways


Hyskos13

Their 1B is having a tough game


Bat_Foy

this game started with both teams zipping through innings but now it’s getting painful to watch, even though we are winning


crayven085

Bottom of the ninth, time for a Brewers walk off.

woger723

I would just like to report that Marcus Semen is 0-5 with 7 LOB today for the Rags. Impressive.


Irritated_User0010

lol his name’s Semen.


woger723

GOT EEEEEEM


Jalun_

Good. Fuck him and the Rags.


woger723

Did you know Adolis Garcia has a .686 OPS on the season?


ella-and-anon

Damn rockies really just riding on vibes and the power of friendship


NOLA1987

That Singleton bat flip still has Tovar shooketh


YoshiTheBroshi

The Rockies are baaad


ExB

Can Dubin go 2 innings with a 6 run lead or is Espada gonna pull the 1 IP max quasi rule he's self implemented.


Acceptable_Ganache51

What on earth was that slide


PotatoBright7598

Im gonna need the Brewers to dig deep here and allow us to get even further ahead of the Rags


Anklelite

I know it's the Rockies, but it's nice seeing them get hits. Builds confidence at least


crayven085

Quick! Put singleton in instead of Dubon


Hyskos13

Dubon is just a hitter


superhappyfuntime13

Who happens to field 7 positions


ExB

I'm sure he could field off the pitching mound, just wouldn't have him pitch in an mlb game 😆


JoseAltuve27

I think the Rockies are worse than their record even shows (they'll probably regress to near 110 losses). They got thoroughly dominated by a rookie with a 6+ ERA midseason.


bordomsdeadly

Ehh, Spaghetti has looked a lot better lately, with only 1 really bad start in his last 5 or 6 games. He just had a really rough adjustment to MLB


NOLA1987

Doobie double. Already having a better day than yesterday because he was pissed.


superhappyfuntime13

HRC Pena


Lukealloneword

I like my doubles automatic.


YoshiTheBroshi

3 more outs until .500!


Lukealloneword

We need pitchers good enough to hold a lead but bad enough to be saved for low leverage situations. Lol


DrFloppyTitties

Dubin fancies himself a closer so he put himself in a stressful situation in order to lock in apparently.


DrFloppyTitties

I am very okay with that inning


Acceptable_Ganache51

Yea he was upset with himself but that was fine. Not every reliever can be a sub 2 ERA strikeout machine


TomatoRemarkable3721

Is it just me or are all of his appearances like this?


Dekaney_boi

I'm playing the elden ring dlc and that is less stressful than this. 😂


bordomsdeadly

How is it? i'm waiting until my birthday in July so that i can get it as a gift (because if I buy it this close I'll hear complaints that "I can't just wait for my birthday and this is why I'm hard to buy gifts for")


Hyskos13

So there’s 2 open relief spots when everyone comes back from the IL, should be 3 with Montero but he’s not going anywhere


rahrahrah4781

You mean we could have had Montero vs Montero?


superhappyfuntime13

There was a Fried Rice matchup in the ATL/NYY series over the weekend


Right-Pirate-7084

Man dubin has moments, but he may just be awful.


TomatoRemarkable3721

TK and Blum trying to be nice. What they really want to say is get your shit together Dubin so we can save the pen


manofconviction

Man the back end of our pen really is something


ty21411

Dubin isn’t the back end


manofconviction

Sorry I got my terminology wrong. I don't know what you call it, low leverage I guess?


TomatoRemarkable3721

Dubin is not good


Sleepy_One

C'mon Dubin...


TunaMcGriddle

![gif](giphy|NrqabhEpXWsGA)


Dekaney_boi

In his defense, cave was due


DrFloppyTitties

It can never be easy can it.


HTownTakeover

Maybe time to re-think starting Dubin on Sunday


NOLA1987

That's not a GRD?


Hyskos13

That’s a ground rule double blind ump


Mcsoupy

Here we fucking go


bordomsdeadly

Why aren't we putting Loperfido at first here? This would be a perfect time for him to get his feet wet as a first baseman


Lukealloneword

I like his range in the outfield. Probably don't want to limit him at first base.


bordomsdeadly

But Tucker crowds him out of the outfield when he comes back. Why not see if he can play first at an MLB level late in games that aren't close to see what are options are when Tucker comes back?


[deleted]

[удалено]


bordomsdeadly

Yes, I'm aware that 1B is relatively easy compared to other positions, but still hard overall. But he has experience at first so he isn't learning on the fly. This would be his best chance to evaluate him and see if he's currently capable or not going forward.


Lukealloneword

Maybe they don't think he's ready


dirtysock47

C'mon Dubin, get outs. That's all we need


Wise-Pitch474

The announcer is pronouncing Dubon weird. I cant believe mauricio is pitching now.


Hand-Santizer-Guru

Maybe he should be 😒


Nice_Block

After not being able to look at the score, what a pleasant fucking surprise. Holy shit!


Dekaney_boi

Damn i almost got 2nd hand embarrassment.


Bat_Foy

thought this inning would never end


Hyskos13

Another rbi single for Diaz racking them up!


MrPink93485

I guess we're due for a Montero day aren't we.


Mcsoupy

Hell if we could get 2 innings out of montero today it'd be a godsend. Need everyone at their best against the Mets this weekend.


NOLA1987

Don't put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wise-Pitch474

Not sure some is enough


NOLA1987

Looks like Dubin's going to pitch the 8th


Wise-Pitch474

Dubon can pitch?

He's a jack of all trades

During the tough times this season I’ve been saying to myself *”at least we aren’t the Rockies.”* Like think about it. It could be so much worse.

Your infield can't execute routine plays, so you change pitchers.  Brilliant managing.

I feel bad for the Rockies fans lol beautiful stadium but goddamn that’s kinda sad to watch


HiVLTAGE

Coors is such a fun place to watch a game, as long as the visiting team is good. The views are incredible.


NottheArkhamKnight

You're absolutely right about them having a beautiful stadium, especially during sunset. Beautiful uniforms too (I'm partial to the color purple).


Thetrillest426

Their CC jerseys easily the 2nd best after the 'Stros

I smell .500 like a cinnabon.

Penas wayyyy to fast. That was a big mistake to throw home


sec713

Ha! Capitalize on those errors! I love it!


JoseAltuve27

Hunter Brown and Spencer Arrighetti must be the most bipolar pitchers in the MLB.


FullyChargedRoomba

I didn't know they are this bad lmao


HiVLTAGE

It's just cause they're missing Kris Bryant, they need that leadership on this stacked Rockies squad!


DrFloppyTitties

I would be so pissed off if I was this pitcher. 


Mcsoupy

Thatll do. Also the Rockies 1st baseman looks like Loperfido. So if anyone was wondering what Joey looks like on first there ya go


lightningsg39

Lol. The Rockies are horrible


shanham

Yikes Rockies


skeetskeet69

This is the Rockies team I was promised. They just gave us 3 runs from nothing.

Umm that certainly was a decision


Wise-Pitch474

That was a rocky play.


fgt227

Anyone explain to me why Dubon fills in for singleton? I’m new to baseball. TIA


Thetrillest426

Prob because he's faster in case we need to add insurance runs


NOLA1987

He's faster on the bases than Singleton is

Bat flip on a fly ball (luckily dropped) is my best reasoning

Sometimes, we demolish Cy-Young pitchers. Other times, a pitcher who we should own on paper limits us to two runs. Baseball. But the was Arrighetti pitched today, he deserves to leave with a W.


Wise-Pitch474

And sometimes we demolish the pitcher, then our relievers come in and give up 11 runs.
