[Aggies7]

Bart looked a little less than interested in that AB

[Danchat]

Colon clearly had no intentions of running to first on that AB...

[DiscGolfer]

I'd like to see him go up there without a bat next time.

[Aggies7]

Pitchers duel. Just the way we drew it up

[Suicide Skweez]

Or lifting the bat off his shoulder. The terrifying thing was that Dozier looked just as bad in his at bat as Colon did! Yikes.

Well, it gets late early. Signing off, with one last thought: I hope Kyle Gibson, to name just one Twins pitcher, is watching Ryu and learning what command of one's pitches can do.

[Aggies7]

The dodgers are 37 games above .500, and the broadcasters have spent half the evening talking about kershaw's back injury.

[Aggies7]

We've just seen two great reasons why the NL needs to have the DH

[spinowner]

Dick: Fly ball to short center.

The ball was caught by Escobar at the back of the infield dirt.

[Suicide Skweez]

Dozier follows up a bad AB with a lackadaisical play in the field. Sure he's good for a HR here and there, but his lack of effort this season has been concerning. He's a piece I'd like to see dealt at some point in the next 12 months.

Bonus, I get home from work, and we're not down yet!

I can get behind this not being down thing...

Dick: Fly ball to short center.

The ball was caught by Escobar at the back of the infield dirt.

Horizontally challanged center, please.

Yet devoid of the Bremergasm of a "deep" flyball caught 20 feet short of the warning track.

[DiscGolfer]

NICE!!

[Mill1634]

So why the hell did they not walk Castro?

[DiscGolfer]

That's pretty close, not sure if that'll get overturned

[Aggies7]

Meh, I understand why you send him there, but I probably wouldn't have. Not the fleetest of foot

[Aggies7]

Not a great challenge

[Puckett34]

Grossman does love walking

[LaBombo]

What's the replay overturn rate in MLB? One percent? Less?

 

Whatever it is, the rate of reversal in favor of poor plays like sending Grossman home has got to be less than half what it is for 'smart' plays.

 

In other words, the replay guys either unconsciously or deliberately despise rewarding fundamentally poor baseball no matter what the replay shows.

Oh wow.

[Aggies7]

Surprised it took that long. Someone wake up Bart

[snepp]

Nice try by Robbie Grossie.

[Riverbrian]

What is the point of replay
