[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gibson gets out of a jam that was not quite of his own making (2 weak hits and a walk) and strikes out Perez on the 1 ball, 4 strike pitch!

 

(Sorry but I think Cederstrom should have given Gibson a couple of those pitches

[Craig Arko]

Kyle channels some Sweet Music.

[stringer bell]

Zuke's OPS back over .600.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A bunt, but a sacrifice, rather than for a shifty hit.

 

Well laid, Escobar.

[stringer bell]

Ahh Shut Up Bert.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

DAN SAN!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Santana replaces Suzuki on third.

 

Life is good.

[spinowner]

A triple to left center is a fun thing to watch

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ahh Shut Up Bert.

I have no idea what he said, but I concur

[David HK]

I like the bunts, but I also like stand-up triples on occasion...

[stringer bell]

All because of the sacrifice. I am sure DickBert think so.

[spinowner]

The Royals know what Dozier does with high inside fastballs.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I have no idea what he said, but I concur

praising Esco's sac bunt, when if Esco had gotten on base, they would've scored two runs on DanSans triple

[jimmer]

So was the professed productive out by Escobar still productive or completely worthless and unnecessary?

 

Sorry, this was already covered.

Yes.

Intentionally giving up outs is seldom a good strategy.

[USAFChief]

Dozier's had some ugly ABs the last couple games.

exactly.

Could Zuke have scored from first on a triple?

As a small counterpoint, that outfield playing at normal depth might cut that ball off. Maybe. They're pretty fast too.

[spinowner]

OK, let's get Sano to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Could Zuke have scored from first on a triple?

that one? Yup, but Zukes hit a double, so he would've been trying to score from second

[JB_Iowa]

Wasn't Kendall one of the FSN girls?

I thought they got rid of them.

[stringer bell]

Predicting Sano's first hit in the sixth inning.

maybe, more likely it would've been more close than stand up and wait for the relay

[mickeymental]

bunt?

The girls had to find work.

[Craig Arko]

Okay, Plouffe bunting chases Young.

[JB_Iowa]

I guess with that bullpen, you can pull the starter early.
