Is there a problem with that?

None whatsoever, just inquisitive.

Molitor's call for more bunting looking good so far.

[Aggies7]

That's what we need to be doing a night after scoring 14 runs on 21 hits, small ball ourselves out of an inning

[70charger]

 

You think about dudes while in the shower?

 

Apparently only the young and athletic ones.

 

 

Hmmmm....

[Jerr]

Buxton's batting average is disappearing......        

[gocgo]

 

Bundy appears to have added some 'beer weight' since the last time I saw him.

Possibly following the Al Bundy routine of coming home, sitting on the couch in front of the TV with a beer.  Keep a close eye on him between innings.  If he puts his hand down his pants, he's Al Bundy.

Seriously, is there any need to play small ball with Buxton on first, no outs and the top of the order coming up? He can score on many singles. The pitcher has already walked two hitters, so he just may walk Buxton to second. But no, Molitor decides to gamble two outs, even though card counters now know they're bad odds, and loses both gambles.

I swear to f.......

 

 

Never mind

Is that what happens after taking a walk?!

Agree with you, but can not click a "like" on it....    as I don't like the result!!!

Not only that, but dozier was attempting to bunt for a hit. Made less than zero sense

I meant his average w/o factoring in that walk. And to answer your question, no.

Sometimes Molitor seems to forget it's not the 1980's anymore. Interesting note: the broadcast team just mentioned that in bp the ball was jumping out of the park, particularly to left. So of course pull-hitting Dozier should not try to take advantage of that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lol nice call, blue

[rghrbek]

Not sure why we don't steal first, not after the failed bunt attempt.  I know doziers risp stinks but c'mon.

 

Of course buck was caught stealing...

[Cap'n Piranha]

Alternative theory--managers need to justify their multi-million dollar salaries somehow, so they insert themselves into the game for no particular reason.

[70charger]

So the umpire claims that framing has no effect on umpires. Gotcha. 

[Aggies7]

Now there was a sneaky sneaky bunt

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Interesting

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

too sneaky. Cost Jones a strike. We'll take it.

They might credit him with a steal as he overslid the bag and was tagged out then

 

 

 

By why do I keep talking about the game?

[Linus]

I'm getting less impressed with Castro every game.

That's an interesting point I hadn't considered.

 

Well done you.

Yep it's him

 

[Aggies7]

Kepler continues to destroy the ball

[David HK]

Why isn't Vargas bunting here?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Vargas crushed that....unfortunately too high up in the air

[Pardon My Dinger]

Does anybody like Married with Children here? Could you explain it to me? I've seen it some recently and it really doesn't seem to hold up at all.
