Can't beieve we've fought back to 6-5 against this pitcher but kudos

Surprised Clemens is still pitching but maybe that first inning was just a case of nerves

 

[Matt Cotcher]

You'll only miss the first two innings, they said. Nothing ever happens in the first two innings, they said.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Just got home and tuned in and see that this game is already over.

Well, I guess the good news is that we've found out real quickly that Clemens can throw BP but that's about it.

I like him as a first baseman, but this experiment is over.

Did CS get a hold of Slim's iPad?

Matt-

I'm negative when the team needs it and positive when team deserves it. Giving up 7 hits in the first inning and then getting picked off first with the score 6-1 is not a good prescription for getting rave reviews from me. Joey maybe, but not me.

I don't think our team is helped a lot with kacy pitching. I could be wrong but bet I'm not. We've got better pitchers sitting on the bench.

Now, it looks like he's responsible for a couple more runs when we'd fought back.

We'll just have to fight back again but we're making this a whole lot harder than it needs to be.

Having some serious technical difficulties here. 

Stream is really choppy; 1300 stream is in and out, and CBS game tracker is sketchy. 

Just so you know.  I'm working through it, but it's a bit frustrating.

Gametracker is fine....as long as you don't mind being 5 minutes behind live action.

Thanks for the effort. You're doing a great job.
