Great prop bet on the Ringer MLB podcast:

Which will be longer - the average game time this year, or “Avengers: Endgame”?

Last years average was 3:04. Endgame is reportedly 3:02.

So is this Cole character. He's made a couple of guys look stupid.

Bot 2:
Diaz and Garcia go down swinging
Robertson goes down looking on a 3-2 that looked outside

Folks, Cole’s got some seriously good shit tonight.

Such a good hitter, perfect for this lineup, I might get to Alou levels of love for this guy.

Who does Choi look like batting? Same stance as someone else but I can't put my finger on it.

Did his best to get Pham to chase but lost the battle. He hung the one to Choi.

Diaz error set the inning up. 2 games, 2 errors.

That's why you need a 6'5" 1Bman.

Yep.

The 2 run hit was crappy contact on a horribly located 2 strike breaking ball.

Diaz is a SS. I hope last night was an aberration. We helped CFM out a lot on curves out of the zone. Should have been a 2-1 nail-biter, but Cole also has to pitch through errors. That said, bloop hitters were the killer.

Exactly. Cole has to bear down after the error. And hitters need some hits in key situations. Bergman left three guys on. Diaz left three guys on. Neither has a hit yet this season. Those will come, but they make a difference in close games. As JV said so eloquently Thursday...gotta hit the reset button quickly. Go get em tonight.
