That was a great job by Englert after the walk. Left it all out there probably.

[Jim Cowan]

Got away with it.  Ridiculous.

Holy big giant muy grande juevos

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Tigerbomb13]

Never in doubt there

Reminds me of Billy Chapel's perfect game.   Had nothin left but got it done. 

[gehringer_2]

boys need to score a few and put this out of reach. 

yeah ...that'll be happening...

[Jim Cowan]

This has the feel of a game that the players will win in spite of the manager's efforts.

[chasfh]

Looks like Lange is coming in for a third straight game. Probably not ideal, but Englert couldn’t get a quick out and start the ninth. Could really use some cushion runs here.

Run scoring machine!!

I get what Hinch was trying to do here. He had to get Cisnero and Englert into the game. Neither of them had pitched for six days. They have to get into a game at some point. Sure, it would be nice if we could wait until we’re blowing the other team the **** out before we have to burn those guys, but you don’t always get that perfect scenario, and you can’t have them never pitching in another close game ever again.

Got the bloop just need the blast

[Jim Cowan]

The lineup management for the whole game has been too cute.

[chasfh]

I’m now wondering whether they might have Vest start the ninth until he gives up a runner, then it has to be Lange.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe Vest is warming up in case we get runs.

Haase with a four-time rookie strikeout there. 

[Jim Cowan]

What did Haase just swing at?

[gehringer_2]

good AB by Torkelson - a hit would have been gooder though.

[Tigermojo]

Just have to get out their best hitters. Hang on everyone.

[Motor City Sonics]

Nootbaar sounds like something you'd pickup at Westborn Market.

A snack in Stockholm 

[gehringer_2]

Haase a little too anxious in the last couple of AB.

Ump doesn't give Lange the 1st perfect pitch.

[Jim Cowan]

I fear Goldschmidt

[Tigermojo]

Weeeeeeeee

[Dtrain72]

That first Lange pitch was a strike.  Robot umps.

[Tigermojo]
