Game 83 Overflow Thread

Trailing 5-3 and with Grienke at 86 pitches, naturally you bring in beloved former-Brave Horacio Ramirez.

All the teeth-gnashing we did when Moore pointlessly acquired him now seems justified. He hasn't stayed in the minors and he hasn't pitched in mop-up situations solamente either.

HOLY CRAP

Haven’t really paid attention to the game. Tuned in when it was 5-1 in the 6th. I had to put my kid to bed. Finally get back to the game and turn it on just as Olivo goes to an 0-2 count. Am I good luck charm or what??

I’d rather see DDJ in the lineup at center, every fucking day. And it’s not just because of tonight. I’m sick of him. If he can’t play good defense (and that’s his strong point), he shouldn’t be out there.
