Then he wouldn't be able to see the strike zone with his good eye.

[Pardon My Dinger]

I. Am. Calling. A. Nunez. Homer.

[Vanimal46]

Forget the bunt. Swing away Danny.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Gonna get a breaker here.

[Vanimal46]

Let Nunez swing the bat. Come on.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Could have held out.

[Don Walcott]

Our best Eduardo has to sacrifice?

[Don Walcott]

Any chance Dozier will have a good situational AB? Nope.

[sftwinsfan]

Poor management call there.  You sacrifice Nunez who's hitting .338 to set up Dozier hitting about .200 and prone to strikeouts.  Like you couldn't see that strikeout coming from a mile away.  Pathetic.

[Don Walcott]

Now Kurkjian sounds like he's on pain killers.

[ashbury]

Arcia looks like he hasn't had many ABs lately. Probably because he hasn't had many ABs lately.

Too many walks, eh?

[Pardon My Dinger]

F***ing sweet play by Alonso.

[jimmer]

darn it!!!!!

[ashbury]

Is anyone else forced to watch it this Llama ad every single commercial break?

I would like to be forced to watch an ad. Games in Oakland are blacked out by MLB.tv when I am in northern Nevada.

 

Poor planning on my part.

[jimmer]

now THAT Airman can sing!!!

Head over to the Cal-Neva and catch this one on ESPN.

[DrNeau]

Too bad Mauer got robbed on that.

[ashbury]

I like to think that my 9 months in Michigan was an experience and I got some stories but it just wouldn't compare to 6 months with the 164th in 1942. 

Exactly. Now if you had spent the time in Wisconsin...

[Don Walcott]

Any sense of the anticipation you're starting to feel over there??

[Don Walcott]

Wilson handled that question pretty well. Great interview.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I will never understand how a box of cereal is able to hit so well.

[Don Walcott]

Wilbon.

[ashbury]

Centeno throws to second base to allow the runner to be declared out! Is there a term for that kind of play? I don't think I've seen the Twins do it.

[twinssporto]

Nice work Mr. Rodgers!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not sure.

 

I will run a google query with the search phrase:

 

"15 year MLB veteran with 300 career stolen bases thrown out by minor league signing"

[ashbury]

I suspect Mr. Valencia (why someone would be named after an orange escapes me.

[Riverbrian]

I've missed most of this game. 

 

Storms rolling through... reports of hail so we decide to move our outside cars to a parking ramp. 

 

Get back and we need hamburger buns so I go get them and then I get back and sit down and it turns out we need something else at the store so back I go.

 

I'm back again and sitting down and I'm hoping to see the last inning but I'm guessing we will have to go pick up the cars soon. 

[twinssporto]

Is Madson available?  I'm sure the A's would trade that guy for a box of rocks or something...Could be a nice fit for our pen.

[ashbury]

The worst baseball stadium in MLB.

I never had a bad experience watching a game there. YMMV.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

"and so when Esco fanned at the plate, and Centeno did the same, a sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game..... For there seemed but little chance of Sano getting to the bat"

 

 

EDIT: I guess my magic incantation didn't work
