GARCIA WITH A 2 RUN HOMER!

Robel Garcia has been a pleasant surprise.
How was he playing in the italian league last year and how is it that only the cusb found him.

He may go all LaStella. Or maybe not. In any event, he wasn't living up to his potential.

Mills is hanging in there even though he's allowed base runners in every inning.
Maybe 1 or 2 more inning out of him

BULLSHIT
RIZZO GETTING UMPBALLED

Pussy

>Dietrich goes out of his way to ram into Rizzo while Rizzo is on the base path
>Rizzo is out
How is this allowed!?

Shut yer yap.

Can't review this shit?

If he was going to be called out regardless, Rizzo should have just trucked Dietrich and at least make the Reds earn that out.

Attached: file065325.jpg (1280x720, 122K)

>im sorry you lightly brushed the fielder and that hurt his feelings so you're out

At least he's giving that 1st base ump some static.

Outside of the first inning Mills did a decent job.
Now the question is does Maddon send him out for the 6th to ration the pen, or pull him now.

Granted if Almora or Maldonado get on when it's Mills turn, the answer is obvious.

FUCK YOU THEO FUCK YOU...TRADE RIZZO FOR PITCHING

Mills should have just thrown at Dietrich's head, see if that would get him to move.

Based rizzophrenic on cue.

come back time

comeback time

imagine being such a shit hitter that getting hit is statistically more valuable than trying to hit the ball.
Seriously imagine it, you've spent your entire life perfecting your ability to hit the baseball only for your manager to pull you into his office and tell you that getting hit is worth more.Imagine going home and telling your wife this, imagine the shame in her eyes. Every night you come home and she asks you "was it a good day getting hit dear?" and you know shes fucking the neighbor.
imagine being Dietrich.

Is it come back time?

i smell comeback time

COMEBACK TIME

BRYANT WITH A SOLO SHOT HOMER TO TIE THE GAME!

America knows without a doubt which party is for racists today and Wrigley bans people who are racists.

It almost makes up for their war on beer snakes.
Almost.

people on social media are bantering about the guy who got the ball instead of the kids while ignoring this walk off win.

Attached: b4b.png (1280x720, 644K)

It is bad optics, but if you've ever been to the bleachers at Wrigley, the kids in the front row are always screaming for balls and outfielders, relivers or even security will toss them balls, multiple ones even throughout the game.

It's like a 9 in 10 chance they already have game ball.
