who expected THAT?!?!

Beltran did his best Joe Mauer impression?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Who is our answer to Betances?

 

[USAFChief]

I bet If Betances was with the Twins org, he'd still be a starter, struggling along with great stuff but poor results.  

[FattCrapps]

Mauer homerun.

 

Calling it.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Early in the season, Mauer was hitting dingers in these situations.

 

That's a call!

 

EDIT: no it wasnt

Who is our answer to Betances?

 

To be fair, not many teams have an answer to Betances.

[FattCrapps]

Almost..

[DiscGolfer]

Hopefully it's still tied when Sano comes up next inning

[DaveW]

Not all of us go, high drama, when anther pro team scores a run on us.

You thought Fien was going to escape that bases loaded jam with one out that inning? Edited August 18, 2015 by DaveW

[Jham]

Is May available?

[DaveW]

To be fair, not many teams have an answer to Betances.

Yeah, he is filthy.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I bet If Betances was with the Twins org, he'd still be a starter, struggling along with great stuff but poor results.

 

Or with his walk rate, still in the minors working "on things"

[Gibby]

I think Rosario's back-alley stare is going to bring it home.

Only Chapman is better, I think. (I don't know.)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Let's try not to squabble like Yankee fans.

What kind of fans should we squabble like...

 

Wait, no. I get it. No squabbling at all.

 

Ya know, why didn't i think of that myself!

 

Shut 'em down this here half inning!

[Jham]

Rosario hot dogs pop-ups as bad as Arcia does.  Oh, except he catches them.

[Riverbrian]

 

Is it wrong I'm terrified of an 0-2 count?

 

No you shouldn't be... but... you should be terrified of running out of water in Tucson and having to move to Mississippi. 

[DaveW]

Is May available?

Normally I would agree, but he earned his shot with his handling of the 7th. Pop ups to ARod and McCann alone. Impressive. Edited August 18, 2015 by DaveW

Nice job Casey.

 

On the running game, circumstances yielded the results. Dozier was thrown out on a pitchout. Hunter was retired on a missed swing on a hit and run and Nuñez was out because the shortstop was able to simultaneously make a catch and tag of a short hop. Dozier, Nuñez and Rosario all had gotten great jumps on steal attempts.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I feel a 7 dimensional chess win tonight......

[DaveW]

Solid inning!

[Gibby]

 

 

You thought Fien was going to escape that bases loaded jam with one out that inning?

 

Yeah, I wanted to see ferocious Fien, and I did.

[DiscGolfer]

When did we get this Fien guy?

[mikeee]

casey fiend makes short work of them.

[mickeymental]

ok, that time it was expected.

[SwainZag]

I love hard throwing-emotional-yelling Fien

[DaveW]

Yeah, I wanted to see ferocious Fien, and I did.

haha. It worked! Though to be fair you shouldn't be walking rooks on 4 pitches to face Guys like McCAnn and Beltran with the bases loaded.

[USAFChief]

Nice job Fien.  I like the agressivness, and I like the 95-96.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

 

Well knock me over with a feather.

 

If I only had a feather

 

 

Along with a Camera (Cell Phone) and the time to post it on you tube.

This game will end in 9 innings. I hope we get 3-7 runs here.
