Curtiss is rested, but I think you stick with Cooper here. Throwing strikes. 6 outs from a big victory.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Or not, Curtiss is in.

 

[utisdabomb12]

They aren't seeing anything off of Curtiss. Way behind everything.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Damn, Curtiss looked good that inning.

 

[Bear19]

Yes he did. I would bring him back for the ninth.

[utisdabomb12]

OK Payton get a hit here, and give us some insurance. Would extend his on base streak too.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Welp, his streak is still good at least. I know it's Payton but I think I like seeing Barrera in this situation with his hot bat.

 

[Bear19]

Streak intact.

Grounder; 3-1; 2 down

Johnson up

0-1 bunt foul

Double to LF; short fly ball, but hustling Johnson gets 2 out of it.

Payton up; needs to reach base safely for his streak.

And Tech Intentionally Walks him. Wow.

And the 3rd pitch gets past the catcher; Johnson takes 3B.

They stick with the BB; Payton's streak in tact.

[utisdabomb12]

Thanks to joeywa and utis for the pbp.
Now bring us home.

Mostly Joey.

 

[Bear19]

Curtiss throwing darts.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Man we don't need walks here. Force them to hit the ball here. 9th inning always has to be interesting.

 

[Bear19]

Dammit I can jinx a four leaf clover.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Why you can't walk people. Double play ball here.
