We want Gee

 A sad state of affairs when the gallery is calling for Gee.............

[SwainZag]

How can they give a hit and an error?  Even if Joe scoops it Braun looked like he would have been safe.

Yep. Thought the same thing.

[DocBauer]

Comeback time!

[jun]

Duffey usually makes sure all his inherited runners score and more. Polanco continues making errors game after game.

Still like that play by Polanco. Didn't turn out the way you'd want it, but a nice play.

 

Yeah, I don't know why that's an error there. Seems like the wrong call.

[DocBauer]

Hard to type and sip beer with crossed fingers for Mejia.

I believe because the error lets the run score. Batter gets a hit, and the run scores on the error as the runner advances from third.

But the runner at 3rd may not have scored if the ball didn't get past joe

If Joe scoops it the runner doesn't advance, I assume that's where the addition of the error comes into play.

 

 

 

Edit, sniped, and sniped.

Eddie money

[DocBauer]

Rosario! I think the light has started to come on!

[70charger]

ROSIE!!

[snepp]

Home run and a cut-off man in the same game.

 

 

Have yourself a night Eddie!

[Aggies7]

At least this game is moving along quicklyq

[h2oface]

Watching these slighter players club home runs, it still amazes me that someone with all of Mauer's talent and size, and he never made the adjustment to be able to hit home runs. 

[drock2190]

Polanco, our hottest hitter, takes a walk

 

 

 

 

wait wut?

[snepp]

Dozier, anti-unRISPY.

[Aggies7]

So, ok, Brian doesn't always fail with RISP

[ashbury]

Too bad Dozier can't hit with RISP.

[h2oface]

.... and Dozier says  "Bite Me!"

[snepp]

MAXIMILIAN!

[spinowner]

An oppo grand slam by Dozier. Been there, done that. As of now, anyway.

[PDX Twin]

He Dozied that one pretty well!

[ashbury]

Das Wunderkind!

[Aggies7]

[stringer bell]

Dozier's first granny. I think he's hit about every kind of homer.

[DocBauer]

That was...whats the word? AWESOME!

[PDX Twin]

Don't you wish we still had Garza???

[DocBauer]

Then AWESOME again!
