Send him. Why not. It took near perfect execution to get him. Aggression on the basepaths is good.

yeah, I put it at 30% chance he scores, which is much higher then Robinson getting a hit in that situation.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Hate the stash.

Escobar wasn't even halfway when gregorius caught the relay..

[S.]

Ben Revere could've thrown out Escobar on that play.

From my TV it looked like McCann could have enjoyed a nice home cooked meal and have time to throw him out..

[Aggies7]

Well, at least that gave the Yankees broadcast a chance to show a jeter relay in the 2000 World Series.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Pelfrey is throwing a really nice game.

Pelfrey is throwing a really nice game.

And he's cut down on his hand licking by at least 50% from last season

[DiscGolfer]

who knows when we'll get a chance for another run, don't really like sending him there but not necessarily against it either.

I'm ok with aggressive base running but Gregorius could have ran him down for Christ's sake!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Rosario catches that.

Leaving Jake Peavey as the clear league leader in licked balls............................................wait, that doesn't sound right.

were you holding back the vomit while typing that?  

[Riverbrian]

BTW... Great opener Sample

 

Very clever

[twinsnorth49]

 

Rosario catches that.

Delmon Young catches that, 360 degree spin included.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

were you holding back the vomit while typing that?  

Only due to the offense's support of Mike.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Delmon Young catches that, 360 degree spin included, and still has enough time to rip off his jersey and show the crowd his "JEW YORK" t-shirt.

There you go.

[Jham]

Just saw the autism awareness PSA, and they named their autistic son "Raymond" and I thought they were calling him "Rainman" and I was thinking, "That's not very nice, making fun of their own son..."  Oh well.  It was my bad.

Must be an old cartoon, I think it's up to 51 now?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Shane Robinson with the walk because of course.

[twinsnorth49]

See Gene, we would have got it to Hicks!!!.........................yes, everything happens in a vacuum.

[Platoon]

Long time contemplation is not a luxury a third base coach enjoys!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Aaron Hicks showing bunt.

 

Brock becomes a Brewers fan in 3... 2... 1...

[glunn]

Robinson draws a walk.  Maybe he is not totally worthless?

[Aggies7]

This bird fella is absolutely killing us.

[S.]

 

Aaron Hicks showing bunt.

You could always watch both, for double the suffering.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, whew. Double play.

 

I was scared CC might have to throw more than five pitches this inning.

[twinsnorth49]

Naturally

[DaveW]

He's not worthless, he just shouldn't be starting 35% of your 30 games.
