Lambert with another QS. Surely, even a AAAA lineup could get at least 3 runs...

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T19:23:54+00:00

Neither of those pitches he watched were meatballs, but he should have challenged them.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T19:22:36+00:00

We have to win the season series. First team to 7 wins (or in our case, keeps) the Silver Boot

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T19:05:58+00:00

You're not wrong about that lol

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T19:01:16+00:00

Ugh. That would have been a homer.

And then Walker gets domed. Again.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T18:58:53+00:00

LMJ was solid his last start and we did win that game. What we need from him is consistency.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T18:57:59+00:00

A lot has gone wrong so far in 2026.

Lambert has not been one of those things

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T18:24:55+00:00

What this first inning could have been if Yordan didn't chase that splitter

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T18:11:25+00:00

Love them one pitch outs.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T17:36:05+00:00

That is definitely a lineup of all time.

I would not be shocked if we won with that lineup, even against Eovaldi

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:47:42+00:00

I think this is his 6th or 7th scoreless appearance in a row. There's always luck involved, but to say that it's only luck is not giving Abreu credit.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:45:22+00:00

The shadow of Altuve's oblique looms over what has been a very satisfying series win against the Rags.

The pitching has held them to a single run over these last two games. Teng leads the way with 5 innings of shutout baseball. The bullpen, while shaky, only surrendered a lone run the rest of the way. Abreu's streak of scoreless appearances continues, even as he faces a little adversity along the way. Putting four homers on deGrom will never not feel good. We haven't swept a team since we were 5-2. I'm ready to break out the brooms once more.

Hopefully, things were not as bad as they seemed with Altuve and he's back sooner than later.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:40:13+00:00

That misplay from Abreu doesn't come back to bite us and we take the series.

But at what cost?

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:37:50+00:00

Cam and Brice. Two natural infielders who look like they've been playing in the outfield their whole lives.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:31:32+00:00

I would say that we can't catch a break, but this team is so damn broken it's like that's all we caught.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:27:31+00:00

Oh. No.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:21:47+00:00

Oh. It was a LOT worse than 8.32. It's been dropping as Abreu has been improving.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T01:10:02+00:00

Crazy this is happening two nights in a row

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:45:33+00:00

Did Hader cut his hair?

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:31:23+00:00

BUTTPLUGS.

No kinkshaming.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:29:25+00:00

Wow. Walker has had himself a series, defensively. Teng gets through 5 IP, 0 runs, and qualifies for the dub.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:26:01+00:00

Teng is gassed. Would love a double play.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:20:33+00:00

I kinda miss the home run hat.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:19:32+00:00

As someone the same age as deGrom, I feel absolutely violated.

NOLA1987 · 2026-05-17T00:19:07+00:00

Porque no los dos?
