Alright. Full honesty. I waited to even start the intro until the bottom of the ninth. The early game yesterday and knowing MadBum would be pitching kept me from trying to forecast beforehand. But I’m glad I waited! This game turned out to be one of the most solid (if weird) games of the year.

First Inning

Top

Varsho started the game by working a 7-pitch walk. Carroll struck out swinging, but Varsho stole second (12) trade offs. McCarthy didn’t get the memo of a long, drawn out at bat, popping out to right on pitch number two; it was too shallow for Varsho to advance on Betts’ arm. Walker worked a wonderful at bat (May isn’t looking super good tonight). It ended with a broken bat bloop single to left juuuuuuust out of Turner’s reach which SCORED VARSHO! Rivera also missed the memo about working a good at bat, grounding out on the first pitch.

Not only did the Snakes score a run in the first, they la dodgers mlb jersey palm taco blue 59fifty cap made May throw 22 pitches (truly important since he’s on a strict pitch count in his return from TJS).

Bottom

Betts flew out to center to start the bottom of the first. Beardless Turner flew out to left (Carroll didn’t get a good read on the ball off the bat from the look of it, but that speed made up for it). Freeman finished the inning off with a ground out to second.

1-0 ARIZONA

Second Inning

Top

Alcantara saw 6 pitches and punched one the other way against the shift for a single. However, Kelly struck out on a nasty curve. Thomas shattered his bat in a good mimic of Walker, but the ball was on the ground. Right at shortstop. Alcantara thrown out at second, Thomas safe at first. Perdomo grounded out to May on the first pitch. Not great, but it was also a fairly impressive play by May.

Conclusion

This game was surprisingly good! We played an all around excellent game. The offense was a tad light, but the guys made up for it in the margins, stealing bases, taking the extra opportunity wherever they could find it. And it paid off! MadBum looked like should have been in KC wearing orange and black again. Carroll keeps adding to his infant legacy. Varsho and McCarthy are always fun to watch. And even Carson Kelly was fun to watch on the bases (although much la dodgers mlb jersey icon blue 59fifty fitted cap more because of the drastic difference in his speed compared to the other guys).

The dream of a .500 or better season is technically still alive!

Fangraphs

Earth: Madison Bumgarner (21.7% WPA) – the unmovable mountain tonight

Wind: Corbin Carroll (7% WPA) – blowing in the wind and around the bases

Fire: Daulton Varsho (4.5% WPA) – it’s a toss up for me whether Varsho or Rojas is more the fire of this team, but tonight it’s an easy answer; Rojas warmed the bench, Varsho didn’t

Water: Christian Walker (18.3% WPA) – the flood oAnthony Rizzo f hits just keeps coming for America’s Next First Baseman
