I’d rather my team give up a string of bombs than get dinked and dunked like we’re doing to SF, so frustrating.

Vaunting!
Julks continues the onslaught.
Soft serve can be satisfying.
Make that 2nd and 3rd for Jake
Sometimes, getting in the kitchen of hitters doesn’t work out as planned.
Especially after something salty (Stripling)
I enjoyed that inning.

What’s not to like…
Strikes, Montero.
Devils standing on the Rangers throats 3-0 in the 3rd period.
That didn’t look like it was gonna get out, more like a towering pop up
Was not a terrible pitch.
But at 3-1 he was in the cat bird’s seat.
Whatever the heck that means.
Turns out it’s catbird.
The catbird seat" is an idiomatic phrase used to describe an enviable position, often in terms of having the upper hand or greater advantage in any type of dealing among parties. It derives from the secluded perch on which the gray catbird makes mocking calls.
You know, this ump has been nearly 100% in agreement with the K zone box: anything that has barely touched the box has been called a strike, and anything even remotely off has been called a ball.
