SFM is dead. Long live SFM.

[Mainge]

I was gonna but I napped instead

[Erick]

This is not going well.

[Fritz]

We losing.

[Erick]

Hechavarria is a terrible baserunner.

[Bobbob1313]

Projected distance of 470 on that Stanton home run. If that was 470, Stanton's home runs are averaging 456. Third-longest home run in majors is 453 this season. He might not be human.

2nd homer for Big Gian. What a beast
--------------------
Marmol warming up. Game over

[Nick]

Dobbs is a shitty person.

[Mainge]

Dobbs, man.

[BigGameFish]

F'n Dobbs... Pinch hitters shouldn't ever swing at first pitch

[Mainge]

Why?

[Erick]

Dobbs is such a professional hitter.
In comes Marmol to lose it.

[Bobbob1313]

Marmol's probably gonna throw a scoreless inning and strike out everyone

[BigGameFish]

Because they've been sitting on the bench all game. At least watch one pitch from the box to get yourself set and comfortable.

Anyway, 12 LOB tonight.

Now here's Marmol. Frustration looming.
--------------------
First pitch to the back stop! Here we go!
--------------------
His delivery is so out of control. There's no way he ever has a good, consistent season in MLB.
--------------------
Wow. Nice pitch. On his wind up he looks like he's holding the ball like his hand is a cup. His hand is below it and the ball it facing the sky. I don't know how he developed that or how he gets his hand around to the plate

[Mainge]

I don't really agree. I get that they haven't been playing but one pitch isn't going to get him totally ready and it might be the best pitch they get in the at-bat. Blindly taking is just as bad as free swinging.
