I can tell you I'm hating this game
Andrew C
8:21
Purgatory. Its even worse with a rooting interest
Chone
8:21
This is one of the more strange games I've ever seen. What's even happening?
Charlie
8:21
all this needs is a rain delay
Jeff Sullivan
8:22
aw go to hell :(
I'd probably just extend this chat right into my usual Friday chat

So, given everything thats happened so far, wade davis will walk in the go ahead run in the 9th?
Jeff Sullivan
8:22
so the winning run then
unless things get EXTREMELY weird
8:23
Kris Bryant with the clutch run-scoring fielder's choice

The Nats had two rain delays this year where it didn't rain. It could happen!
Jeff Sullivan

Baker seemingly challenging the slide at second
8:24
Why not
Garrett
8:24
That slide looks dirty actually
Mike
8:24
Wow that slide
Jeff Sullivan
8:24
I doubt they call this back
Lunar verLander
8:24
I guess we haven't see THIS yet
Mike
8:24
Oh man, an overturn for a slide into 2nd would be amazing rn
Jeff Sullivan
8:25
Challenge doesn't work. 9-6 Cubs
Matt
8:26
Kris Bryant showing why he somehow had 7 BSR two years in a row with like 10 steals
Eddie Murray's Fro
8:26
Leg whip game
Zachary
8:26
this game needs a benches clearing incident at some point
Jeff Sullivan
8:26
Maybe a benches-clearing mutual forfeit
Guest
8:27
This game has more the feel of a crappy preseason game than elimination game
Jeff Sullivan
8:27
Elimination games need a jazzed-up crowd. Crowd still shellshocked by the top of the fifth
Goober
8:28
Can a bat break to reveal cork? That's what I want to see.
Matt
8:28
Now that I think about it does Bryant have the speed to get 20 plus steals or is he just great at advancing well and all out sprints
Jeff Sullivan
8:28
I think he just has really good instincts. If Daniel Murphy could steal 25 or whatever bases that one year, Bryant could do it

making these guys play 2 in 24 hours in different cities not going to produce the highest quality baseball
Gina

Can managers smoke cigarettes or drink in the dugout? Seems like dusty could use a strong drink.
Jeff Sullivan
8:29
Maddon was already seen chugging dirty creek water
Lunar verLander
8:30
let's see: umpire ejecting a fan, that weird "bobble an outfield hit 200+ feet over the outfield wall" rule, and a RHP picking off a runner from 3rd...anything else in the annals of "super crazy shit" that we haven't see yet?
BB
8:30
A bee delay
The Old Buccaneer

These games remind me sometimes living in the eastern time zone sucks. And this is an east coast game.
Jeff Sullivan
8:31
The west coast is great except for the earthquake that will eventually kill us

watching bryant all year long he is highly praised for how good of a baserunner he is. not speed, but routes on the bases, where he speeds up and slows down, how his foot hits the bag on turns, etc
pat burrell
8:31
smoked heaters down the steps from the phillies dugout all the time
Motown Oden
8:31
Leyland smoked in the tunnel
