Nunez limping a little now, too.

[Riverbrian]

 

Thank you Mr. Profar.

 

He played that ball just like a 2nd baseman should. 

[Riverbrian]

 

I am at work and did not see the play, but it seems to me that every ballpark should be required to have extreme padding on every wall that a player might crash into.

 

Airbags that deploy when you step on the warning track. 

[SwainZag]

 

I've read opinions saying that Vargas was a potential 40 man cut to make room for other stuff. 

 

Not me

 

He hits the ball too damn hard to let some other team have for free. 

 

I really think he could be special. 

 

The thing I like about Kennys is he knows how to work the count.  He strikes out a lot but has always had a nice BB% in the minors.

[Riverbrian]

 

I am at work 

 

It's what... 6PM in California. 

 

Go get some sunshine before it's falls into the ocean.

Shih Tzu's are cute dogs.  Don't know why that just popped into my head...

[SwainZag]

Great inning for Gibby, 3 swinging strike outs?  I think he had outings earlier in the year when he barely registered 3 swinging strikes.

Pitching like an old NL'er who knows he's getting lifted in the 7th of a close game whether pitch count is 90 or 120.

They might have gotten Odor at first had Dozier made the throw.

[USAFChief]

Time for a 4-6-3

[jimbo92107]

Buxton: Bruise on the knee. Fantastic news. Ice packs for everybody. Betcha he's back within a week.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Just a bruise. Okay.

yup!

[S.]

Huge relief on Buxton. The impact itself didnt look that bad, but him not being able to stand had me worried.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Time for a 4-6-3

5-4-3

[spinowner]

Still need 4-6-3.

[HitInAPinch]
