Well, another walk ... runners on 1 and 2, 2 outs ... and we have ... Fryer ...

 

Thanx for the detail.

Well, another walk ... runners on 1 and 2, 2 outs ... and we have ... Fryer ...

and he gets it done!!! 2-run double!  Woohoo!!

[zchrz]

Back up catcher!!!!!!

[Squirrel]

Oh, and since Gameday is showing 2-1 ... it is now 5-1 Twins.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice. The Orioles bullpen is not awesome this afternoon.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

out of Frying pan and into the FRYER

[SwainZag]

That's what happens when you hang sliders folks!

It has been established on another thread - he reads the game threads.  I think he and Chief also have a special connection - so he really sensed the critique..

 

This is quite the lengthy game thread for a day game.  I feel guilty I have not spent enough time checking it out and that being a productive employee is starting to get in the way of more important things.

I have to call BS on that. No way does Paul Molitor allow smartphones in the dugout. No. Way.

 

Besides, Joe Mauer is a great athlete with professional coaching. What the heck does he need to read our gab for? My little league tips?

[Squirrel]

Okay, DanSan ... your turn to get it going ... GET IT!

[clank2000]

Fryer is more popular than Jesus

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Hopefully the site won't glitch and accidentally vote for the competition....

 

 

 

This is unrelated but, why was Sano stealing?

 

Because the kids need new shoes!

[Squirrel]

oh well ...

 

And at the end of 7 ... 5-1 Twins. CBU.

[jimbo92107]

Nice quick hands from Eric Fryer. This is the benefit of playing every day in AAA. He's got his eye, unlike Chris Herrmann, who lost it from not playing enough.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

We had a chance to lock up Fryer for 4/40 two innings ago...

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Fryer!!!

 

His price just went up to 4/49.  That extra million is because he doesn't use batting gloves, Dougie Baseball-style.

BTW, the site where you vote does allow you to repeat your vote fairly easily. You just have to keep typing in those five digit numbers.

 

61873...06729... ten more to go...

I had my pet monkey vote for me.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Seems like Santana forgot that this kind of performance at the plate is what got him sent down last time. Hopefully he can forget today too and get another chance to turn it around....

[jimbo92107]

I just noticed something about DanSan. He's pulling his face up from the hitting zone, like he's looking to see where his home run will go.

 

Come on Danny, that's a kid's mistake. Stay in there!

That sounds like a perfectly cromulent explanation for Herrmann's suckiness.

And the bullpen is here to rain on the parade

[wxman91]

Os get one back on a Machado dinger.

[Squirrel]

And Fien gives one back to the O's ...

 

And someone in the stands yells 'Where's Boyer!'

[wxman91]

Back to back for the Os.  5-3

[James]

 

And Fien gives one back to the O's ...

 

And someone in the stands yells 'Where's Boyer!'

I can't believe that anyone is yelling that.

[Ultima Ratio]

Give the pen a lead, no worries.

[Danchat]

...and then the Orioles get back to back HRs.

 

Too bad Fryer already hit in our insurance runs!

[clank2000]

I think Gary Wayne is available. Somebody wanna give him a ring?

[Squirrel]

Well, ****. 5-3.

[Mike Sixel]

One hell a of a bullpen

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

And Fien gives one back to the O's ...

 

And someone in the stands yells 'Where's Boyer!'

 

Do you think maybe Perkins gives Fien a cut every time he gets a save, therefore Fien knew he had to give up 1-3 runs?
