[SwainZag]

Great job from O'Rourke.  Let's keep the zeros coming Fien

[Mike Sixel]

I settled for ice cream and chief is right, you don't want the details. I too am behooved to admit I like this version of Hicks.

[Mike Sixel]

Who do this May you speak of? There used to be a Trevor May, but I assumed they traded him a few weeks ago?

[Halsey Hall]

Poof's a little scatter armed today, but Sano did score the tieing run.

[Squirrel]

Does May pitch the 8th then?

[Riverbrian]

Well... It hasn't been the best ball game... but we got ourselves a ball game. 

[Halsey Hall]

Duensing the 8th, May the 9th, and 10th.

[Riverbrian]

 

Duensing the 8th, May the 9th, and 10th.

 

May 9th is my Wife's Birthday and May 10th is my Dads

 

Duensing 8th is nobody's

[Platoon]

Hicks is a cautionary tale for those giving up on Santan, Vargas, Arcia, etc

[Mike Sixel]

May the 8th is my anniversary.......apropos of nothing really.

I agree... You never know when the light switch is found

I am not sure about that. Mostly guys don't work out. What most of us want is Santana in the minors, not given up on.

A belated happy anniversary! Or maybe an early one.

[Platoon]

I really like the Bucs corner IF defense!

Those really are the Birthdays and how they stack up for me. Lots of shopping pressure in early May

[Squirrel]

Yeah, but how much stumbling around in the dark and toes being stubbed and broken on unseen furniture should one endure?

Particularly Santana, IMO.

[Platoon]

Luckily we did not think like that about Dozier, and Plouffe, and Hunter. Or else Rochester would be undefeated!

[David HK]

Well, it was shaky, but Pelf actually got the job done, and without that bonehead Plouffe play, may have still had a lead.  But he is so scary the way teams the 2nd, and god willing 3rd time through start hitting missles off him.  Get him out!  Get him out! goes the cry, but then, we have to turn things over to the PB.....

I'm not ready to give up on Santana yet, he's having a bad sophomore slump but with some more development he can be serviceable.  We still need a proven SS though.

Or... 

 

Duensing Pitched on Back to Back Days in May... You Say.

Hicks was always a 5 tool type guy, that helps a lot, the margin for error is so much smaller. The other 3 are more one tool guys which means they really need to mash (Vargas and Arcia) to make it, and it's why they were never as highly regarded. Santana needs to improve his D to where it can be, if he does that he will be fine, but that is a tall order as well.

I bet it's pretty apropos to Mrs Mikeww.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

To be fair

 

I've been allowed a lot of that.

I think I'm the only one screaming 'GET. HIM. OUT!' on here.

[Squirrel]

Yeah well, me, too. But it really sucks because there is absolutely little you can do for a broken toe.

[Mike Sixel]

She is a saint. Willing to pack up and move out west this fall.

[DaveW]

Call me old fashioned, but when a pitcher doesn't get out of the 6th I can't credit him as "getting it done"

[Riverbrian]

My wife yells that at me... A lot. 

[Platoon]

One night I came home, stone sober BTW, and in the dark, got undressed, and rolled into bed. Unfortunately my wife had rearranged the bedroom furniture, and all I hit was the floor. She was still laughing at 4 am.
