so long as he gets three outs, and no guys crossing home plate
I’ll take whatever he does

How'd you like to be Ned Yost?
You’ve got Ted Simmons (your likely replacement) in the dugout with you and in a tie game, you have the choice of Turnblow or Gagne on his 6th straight day.

I've noticed that
Fox radars are typically off. I’ve definitely caught pitchers throwing 61mph fastballs for an inning or two before they realize they need to fix it.
On with the (good) youth movement!
agreed.
it seems like the guys running the thing don’t even notice it’s way off.
i would trust gameday and the stadium before going to FOX’s gun. don’t know about KSDK.

Whew
What a crazy game, and a great win! I’m very glad we didn’t have to face Braun or Fielder in that 9th.

Too bad the Cubs can’t seem to lose anymore. It’s still that we aren’t in first with how well we’ve been playing

...It's silly
And my lack of proofreading strikes again.

play a hard nine
this game was the embodiment of that phrase

even in the blowout against the giants
it was nice to see them taking hacks and trying to score runs

Thanks Izzy!!
I appreciate the utter lack of drama. Great win boys!

I have a man crush on Brian Barton
Oh Daric.
With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch
You and me both
reminds me of Brock. Blazing speed, unfairly categorized as a bad fielder, good contact hitter.

Web Gem
Duncan’s catch was the number four webgem tonight
And who said he had trouble in the outfield…..
Really?
It looked like he misplayed that ball a bit at the wall.

pretty good catch for a first baseman
really showed off his range….
(sorry, too many franklins in the 8th)
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
Just cause
he ended up on his butt doesn’t mean he didn’t have a plan when he attacked that fly ball.
I heard it on the radio and it sounded a lot better than it looked.
He ran to the wall
and then had to reach back over his shoulder to catch it.
He did better than I could ever do but I wouldn’t exactly call it a ‘Web Gem’.

From where I was sitting
it looked like he misplayed the ball. I’m glad he was there and managed to catch it (I don’t know if Braun would have made that play) but with the roof closed I don’t think there would be any wind messing with its trajectory. Still, an ugly catch is better than Ludwick’s “whoops” in right.
In all though, an enjoyable game to watch. Had the red VEB shirt there to represent.

Could have very well
lost it in the lights like Ludwick.
Still. I wouldn’t have called it a Web Gem. It was a misplayed ball. A great catch at the last minute. There are plenty of OFers who would not have caught it after they misplaced it. But it is still a misplayed ball.
ESPN called it
thier number four webgem not me. I thought the result was nice, but it must have been a slow night for that catch to make the list.
