Holy shit, we’re facing pudge’s progeny. It seems like only yesterday he was an aging FA sign for a desperate owner who continued to feign relevance.

White cannot lay off those high pitches. That might have worked in AAA, but I don't think it's going to fly up here.

I don't know who the fuck Quinn Wolcott is, but he doesn't have a clue where the outside corner is so far.

As a former hard liner who swore I’d never convert to the DH dark side, bring on the DH now please. If I’m gonna stay up way past my bedtime, I’d rather watch Gattis hit, not a damn pitcher.

Has anyone in here actually been to AT & T Park? It looks like the water level from the bay just over the fence in right is WAY higher than field level. Is it? Never noticed this before but a pregame angle, and one just a second ago, certainly gave it that appearance.

I've been. I done think the field is below the water line but then again I didn't look for that in particular.

I have but didn’t contemplate this issue. It’s a beautiful park, but the chill is real, even in August. My fleece vest was woefully inadequate.

I hope Fisher was paying attention when Bregman and Yuli had their at bats in the 9th. Those are what major league at bats look like.

Every single pitch to Crawford was away. If you know that's how you're going to pitch a hitter maybe put someone within 20 yards or so of where he's likely to hit it.

They ended up with walks so people scanning the agate won't know, but those were seriously high quality at bats.

Julia asked Charlie Morton how it felt surpassing his career high in strikeouts in a season. Charlie didn't seem to realize it. "Oh, really? Sweet. Sweet."
