It was certainly close, but looked like a legit HBP to me.

Take away that 1 superhuman series, Noland must be hitting about .150.

Carter pitched like a Spartan out of the movie 300. Please no more, go to the pen. EB Jr is insane future gold glover.

Holton has been tough as nails, but agree with 187 & Geez...time for Boki or Cunningham or someone else. Corbs, however, tends to go further than we armchair managers would go.

Ginther has clearly earned Corbs' trust. Strong 7th.

This is probably our prototypical recipe for success this year: great pitching; great defense; just enough offense to get by.

I have in the past, on occasion, been critical of Corbs' sticking with pitchers too long. Tonight, however, he has used his bullpen perfectly. His best pitcher just needs 3 more outs.

We’ve had some weak-ass AB’s in key situations tonight.

I hate it being so close going to the 9th. Gives the umps a chance to screw us.

It’s a luxury to have a closer that can go more than 1. Remember Tyler Brown?

Are you kidding me. What did I say? Bring our new arm keep them guessing, 2 HRs on inning #2 of Maldo. He's like Mariano Riviera, 1 inning only.

Why we don't use every arm we can is beyond me. I said it earlier. No reason for anyone to pitch more than an inning with this BP. Be fresh, be nimble
