I like how nobody bothered to grab that ball after plouffe didn't field it.

[Aggies7]

I want jack Morris to have a moment where he doesn't care if he ever gets on air again and hear him just go off on this team. You can hear it in his voice he wants to just explode.

[Aggies7]

Santana should start cheating again.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Yep - when teams had 3 AAA clubs and classifications went to D.

What do you mean: "classifications went to D." I'm not familiar with that.

[bird]

Like when a pitcher demonstrates good pitchability, this team is showing good unwatchability.

[Aggies7]

What do you mean: "classifications went to D." I'm not familiar with that.

Different names for classifications, and more towns had pro teams.

My grandson got sent home from kindergarten yesterday, poor little guy.  Apparently the teacher was asking the class some basic questions about breakfast, and he answered poorly.

 

"What comes from the fluffy chicken?"  "Eggs!"

 

"What about the little piggy?   What comes from him?"  "Bacon!!"

 

"And from the fat cow?"  "Homework!!!"

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

We are seeing the reappearance of the strikezoid shaped strike zone

I don't necessarily want him to do that, but I would like to hear what he has to say

[Aggies7]

Utterly, utterly embarrassing.

 

The entire coaching staff can be fired after the last pitch tonight and I simply would not care. Listless, sloppy play for well over a month.

Beneath you.

[Primetime82]

What happened to Park?

[Rigby]

ML teams had multiple MILB teams - Classes AAA.AA,A,B,C,D. Many had several MILB teams in different classifications.

I'll add to that. In the past the minors employed a lot more "former" major leagers who were no longer good enough for the show, but were good ... now the minor leagues are only for those on the way up. Seems like something fun was lost for cities/towns that had/have minor league teams.

[Riverbrian]

Judging by the situation... Kintzler won't be eased in

[Danchat]

Oh goody, let's see how Kintzler does against Abreu with the bases loaded. This can't possibly go wrong!!!

 

What happened to Park?

Hit by pitch, left the game.

[HitInAPinch]

BAD situation for Kintzler

[Aggies7]

Haha swinging at that pitch. Such selfish play.

Good Call

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

I have to say, it kinda worries me how quick Molitor is to go to the bullpen. Sometimes you just have to let the starter keep fighting (particularly when your bullpen is so unimpressive).

[USAFChief]

 

Beneath you.

You could not be more wrong. 

 

 

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Good job by the new guy, though.

[Aggies7]

Kintzler is the greatest pitcher I've ever seen.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Kintzler works out of jam.

 

Still makes no sense.

[Danchat]

Eh, he's left Nolasco in for too long multiple times this season. Kintzler did the job, so I think Molly made the right call.

Santana hadn't pitched in two weeks. He looked pretty gassed.

[Craig Arko]

You could not be more wrong.

 

Touché.

[Mr. Brooks]

There have been a few times I'd agree with that, but not this time.

 

Santana gave up 10 baserunners in 3 innings. It's a miracle we're still in the game.

[Rigby]

You must not be familiar with Jim Ollom.

[Riverbrian]

Everyday Eddie: Brandon... Molitor just pointed to his right arm... You are going in... Bases Loaded and Jose Abreu at the plate. 

 

(Silence) Brandon... Where are you? Brandon

 

(Silence) 

 

Ryan Pressly: Coach... He just sprinted out of here with his luggage... Said he Quit and he was gone just like that.

 

Everyday Eddie: (Grabs Cell Phone) Security... I got another one fleeing... Grab the guy running in the Twins Uniform... Get him back here immediately.
