[Jham]

For instance. .. you can go get him.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Boyer's got 'em set up for a triple play...

 

Sneaky.

 

(also he's gonna keep the infield fly rule in order)

[wavedog]

Angels know how to bunt.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bunt foils my plans...

 

Clever angels.

[jimbo92107]

Boyer seems pretty solid when he comes in with no one on, is well rested, and is yanked as soon as he gets tired.

I'm glad you said that before I could. Someone else's turn to get laughed at...

[howeda7]

This loss is on Dozier. 3 games this week we should have won choked away. Ugh. At least Pelfrey's pitchin tonight...

[Jham]

That's a double play if caught cleanly. Contact play was on.

[ashbury]

Liner hit Escobar in a bad spot.

 

His glove.

 

_{^{/ I'm off the "Escobar is a steady defensive SS" bandwagon again.}}

[Twinfan603]

I know he's been hitting well since taking over at SS, but there's always been something about Escobar that rubs me the wrong way or fails to impress me. I don't know if I'm just being irrational but I don't think he should be here long-term.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Game isn't over 'til we say it's over!

 

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Jham]

Is it always hunter, rosario, Suzuki due up to end the game?

[howeda7]

Why is Tonkin in this game? If Hughes is available he should be in there. Or Achter. Anyone else.

[wavedog]

I would be more confident if we could score a run in extra innings.  How about mixing in a strike Tonkin!

[ashbury]

This loss is on the entire offense.

FTFY. This was a winnable game. Still possible (4-3, top of 12, CBU), but the odds went way down when Escobar dropped a double play liner.

[wavedog]

This does seem to be Groundhog day.  I have seen a loss like this before.

[ashbury]

_{^{/ Forget it. He's rolling.}}

[howeda7]

Yes. And we won't PH Vargas for Suzuki because reasons...

[wavedog]

Alright lets get 2

[ashbury]

Alright lets get 2

Season might be riding on it.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Due to his off-season training.

I think the guy who wrote that forum has been hammered enough ... However, the Babe's training regime was lifting beers and flirting vigorously.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

_{^{/ Forget it. He's rolling.}}

The tough...

 

,,,

 

...

 

get going!

 

That's not a fork... This is a fork!

 

Oh, and Buxton's on first. Well done, Torii!

[Jham]

Interesting call there... i like a steal over a bunt. Both are risks.

[ashbury]

Yes. And we won't PH Vargas for Suzuki because reasons...

Reasons... overridden!

[Ultima Ratio]

Why in the 7th layer of hell are you wasting an out there, esp. with one of your best hitters?

[DaveW]

That bunt decision is so ****ing stupid. Thanks for another loss Molitor

[wavedog]

Yes, I would have let Rosario swing away with hopefully speed keeping us out of a double play.  Need a clutch hit please.

[Jham]

No fastballs from street, and yet no thought of stealing. ..

[ashbury]

The bill of Huston Street's cap is as oily as Joe Nathan's!
