Painter throwing up all over himself against a garbage team. No command at all.

Fortunate to just be down 3-0 after that 28 pitch abortion. Wild pitch against a .162 hitter to let a run in

a well executed bunt can be a thing of beauty

Holy hell. Another 9th inning, 2 out miracle.

Franzke is head and shoulders better than McCarthy Not a fan of McCarthy at all

Still not impressed with Painter as an MLB quality pitcher - how can you throw a pitch 55 feet and expect it to be called a strike. He should be in the minors licking his ego and staying there - it was the first inning so pitch, not throw the ball and expect great things.
He settled down but puts the team in a hole, hopefully to come back and win.

That's a unique stat line. 8.1 innings pitched and 4 wins. I know it's all a matter of timing when the offense scores runs but it's still a great IP/W ratio.

I turned it off at the start of the top of the ninth. Went to bed cursing them for losing to the worst team in the AL. SMH.

It was a shame Sanchez couldn’t get the win because of idiotic baserunning! I did think, however, that Turner was safe at third and Harper scored.

Winning turns stupid baserunning into nothing more than a line in the box score. Mattingly, Turner, and Harper publicly say they love the aggression. I doubt they'd have loved it if they lost. Turner stealing second was a good call. It put speed at second with nobody out and a base hit would likely have scored him. Maybe, just maybe, I could have understood trying to steal third while Harper was at bat since he's a guy who can easily hit a ball deep enough for a sac fly. But Harper had already walked and Arraez was at bat when Turner tried to steal third. To what end?? Arraez is more likely to hit a single than a sac fly. Also, I think Harper trying to steal home was an attempt to make up for Turner's gaffe. But Bohm was at bat and he's been good this year with runners in scoring position. Maybe Harper didn't trust Bohm with an 0-2 count. And the Marsh blunder?? Geez, in Little League they tell you if the ball is hit to your right in that situation, stay put at second.

It's a good thing they were playing one of the worst teams in the majors.
