Not liking this

Regression is written all over Rosario, like a tattoo.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Gah, Eddie is prone to some pretty awful plays.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Perkins rearing back and hurling it to the plate...

 

...at 92mph.

 

Not good.

[AlwaysinModeration]

I asked for some late inning heroics, but this is getting ridiculous.

[USAFChief]

 

Gah, Eddie is prone to some pretty awful plays.

Both 'em.

 

Escobar started that rally by not handling a ball in the hole that a big league SS has to handle.

[Jerr]

Sit Perkins after we score THIS inning!!!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

So, no runs scored so that means Perkins was gritty, then, yeah?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice swing, Jones.

Sorry Bert, that's an error. Rosario should know enough not to slap down at a pop fly.  Get your darn glove under it, rookie!

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Both 'em.

True.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So, no runs scored so that means Perkins was gritty, then, yeah?

That indeed is what matters.

 

Another inning, another chance swipe the lead...

[spinowner]

 

Yes, but he is the slowest running position player in the major leagues, me thinks.

Not at the moment. Did you see Hardy hobbling around the bases the last half inning?

[jimbo92107]

I will say that's the best I've seen Perkins pitch since the All-Star break. All hail cortisone!

[Squirrel]

Nice swing, Jones.

Sheesh, that thing could trigger an epileptic seizure.

[GCTF]

 

Both 'em.

 

Escobar started that rally by not handling a ball in the hole that a big league SS has to handle.

And was unable to throw out a guy making his way to first on crutches.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Shane Robinson may have to close this one out. Save!

[Jerr]

 

So, no runs scored so that means Perkins was gritty, then, yeah?

I would prefer "done for the day".

[GCTF]

 

Nice swing, Jones.

Watching this is making me have a seizure.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Escobar with the wheels!

[ScrapTheNickname]

I missed it. How did Escobar get on?

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

 

I would prefer "done for the day".

it can be two things!

 

Doesn't this feel like those games in May that the Twins were basically gifted by poor defense from the opponent? I could really go for another one of those...

[Jerr]

Come on Robinson do it!!!!!!!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

A Tommy Milone sighting... New Closer?

[USAFChief]

 

I missed it. How did Escobar get on?

13 hopper to SS that Machado fanned on, allowing it to roll into short left field.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Yeah, just like that.

[jimbo92107]

Eduardo Escobar isn't a great baseball player, but he always plays hard.

[USAFChief]

 

it can be two things!

 

Doesn't this feel like those games in May that the Twins were basically gifted by poor defense from the opponent? I could really go for another one of those...

As you wish.

[Squirrel]

YES!!!!

 

I do feel sorry for the pitcher, though.

[Jerr]

He He he, not "quite" the do it Robinson I wanted, but I'll take it!
