I just got in from a flight and saw this game tied in the 14th inning. I was hoping some people would be around.

I hope the Pirates win.

Didn't there used to be Braves fans who hung out in Chatter?

We go into the 16th!

Cristhian Martinez of the Braves is having a gangsta pitching performance tonight. 5 shutout inngins, 6k, 1 hit, no walks. And he's going on inning number 6.

Uh oh, it's EDSP ... that should be the end of this!

5. Textbook Editor Posted: July 27, 2011 at 04:49 AM (#3886239)

Go Pirates!

6. plink Posted: July 27, 2011 at 04:50 AM (#3886240)

Martinez looked quite good.

In what planet are you walking anybody to get to McCutchen in the 17th inning?

8. The John Wetland Memorial Death (CoB) Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:05 AM (#3886248)

Damn, Scotty Proctor with the quality once-every-four-years at bat.

9. Dale Sams Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:07 AM (#3886251)

Carl Crawford would have struck out 3 times in Proctor's AB...man the Pirates guys are a snoozefest, I gotta go with Atlanta.

I miss when WGN and TBS were the only places to find baseball

10. Dale Sams Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:09 AM (#3886252)

Pirates going ahead this inning, then Rick Camp will tie it with a HR.

18th inning!

12. The John Wetland Memorial Death (CoB) Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:20 AM (#3886260)

Hmmm, they should stop hitting the ball at Freddie Freemen ...

13. Dale Sams Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:23 AM (#3886261)

dawwwwww

14. The John Wetland Memorial Death (CoB) Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:26 AM (#3886265)

Freemen? Freeman? Freamon? Fremen?

Does he know the weirding way?

15. plink Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:31 AM (#3886268)

Braves announcers totally fooled by Gonzalez's liner.

19th inning!

This has been something of a McCutchen/Martinez pitcher's duel.

17. Transmission Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:39 AM (#3886271)

I decided to catch the end of this game on mlb.tv. That was in the eighth inning. There have been hunger strikes shorter than this game.

18. plink Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:51 AM (#3886275)

Wait, what?

19. plink Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:52 AM (#3886276)

That was a pretty terrible call.

20. Dock Ellis on Acid

########. Umpire just wanted to go home.

21. flournoy Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:53 AM (#3886278)

That was the coolest and dumbest game ever. Lugo was out by about ninety feet. I'm going to bed.

22. The John Wetland Memorial Death (CoB) Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:53 AM (#3886279)

Well, that's a time-to-get-out-of-here call.

Staggering.

23. Dale Sams Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:54 AM (#3886280)

On *one* angle it looked like the swipe missed him twice...other ones he's out.

24. Transmission Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:55 AM (#3886281)

I stayed up for THAT?

25. The John Wetland Memorial Death (CoB) Posted: July 27, 2011 at 05:57 AM (#3886284)

It's certainly possible that the tag was missed there, it was definitely a swipe tag that didn't make a whole lot of contact.

But, given the situation and the fact that the ball beat the runner by 10 feet, you'd have to be 150% certain the catcher missed the tag to call the runner safe and I just didn't see any angle that showed anything resembling that.

26. Orange & Blue Velvet Posted: July 27, 2011 at 06:03 AM (#3886289)

One of the worst calls i've ever seen. Even if he missed the tag (barely), he's getting called out 99.99% of the time.

If I was a Pirates fan, i'd be apoplectic.

27. Mike A Posted: July 27, 2011 at 06:20 AM (#3886293)

Sorry, Pirates fans. 'Twas an epic game that deserved a better ending.

I'll take the win, I guess.
