[Aggies7]

Ol' Liam put on a few, looks like

[Jerr]

 

me too.

 

9 seconds from home to 3rd.

He could lap me before I get to first!

[USAFChief]

Sano currently:  .325/.456/.711

 

that'll work.

 

 

[ashbury]

He's awesome out there, but so are Inciarte and Kiermaier.

Yeah, but the voters can pronounce and spell 'Buxton' so he'll get it.

Liam Hendricks looks like he spent a couple years pumping iron. Pretty beefy. Also added a few mph to his heater. Looks good.

I think Buxton is going to be okay. He looks eager now, instead of desperate. I hope it's true.

The first one was pretty funny, actually.

[USAFChief]

Nice play, Mauer-zee.

 

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That was a fantastic defensive play by Mauer, and by Santiago for following the play and being at the bag.

[DaveW]

The first one was pretty funny, actually.

I haven't found a horse dead enough where I won't give it another whack or two.

 

Come on chief, you know that!

[Linus]

Not really. This bit has run its course.

I was thinking the same thing. Special vitamins?

[jimbo92107]

I still like Trevor Plouffe. Good guy, pretty good player. Had to make room for Sano...

[Jerr]

From the LeCroy article:

 

 

The Wit and Wisdom of Matt LeCroy

 

…on the designated hitter: “I’m a big fan of the DH. I have five kids at home. If it wasn’t for the DH they may not be eating right now."

 

I always liked the guy and great article!

That K-Mart blue light special looks like it's been overheating for a while now.

I liked him... Then I was at Mad at Him... Then I started to appreciate him... Then I started blaming him. 

[USAFChief]

Come on chief, you know that!

Yes.

 

Yes I do.

[jimbo92107]

One more decent inning from Santiago, and we can all relax.

 

Hahahahahaha!

[AZTwin]

Can someone put together Buxtons stats the last 10 games? I want to say he's hitting .307 but it is too time consuming to do via mobile.

Isn't this motto found at the beginning of  the Game Thread Instruction Manual?

Haven't you gone through that with most of us?

[Aggies7]

Circle me, marney. Literally.

But in the end, who doesn't like a roller coaster? ;-)

[Aggies7]

A little too much inane babble from dick and Bert tonight

Just say it.

 

It's a game thread, it's not like anyone's gonna check.

normal amount.  it's why most of the time, I watch the other team's feed.

[snepp]

A little too much inane babble from dick and Bert tonight

There HAS to be a great punch line to a setup line like this, but I got nothin'.
