Was that error in the first his? In your opinion, not the scorer's.

Lyles' toss was low but any of the 29 other players starting at first base tonight would have made the play easily. Carter's effort was absolutely disgusting. I can't understand how his teammates put up with his sandbagging bullshit.

I am about 20 yards behind him. I told him to take a lap.

His lollygagging bothers me more than his strike outs.

Lyles catches a bit too much plate to Bruce, and it's 9-0 now with only one out in the fourth. I've seen enough of Lyles tonight.

There are few things worse than pitching in a mop up role, particularly if you start having trouble getting people out, because the fielders see you as an obstruction between the end of the game and partying post-game. It can get testy out there.

There's nothing else going on so they're panning the crowd. I believe they've shown everyone in the mezzanine except homer.
