I wouldn't call upton's a bleeder

Curve ball inside corner. Miggy wanted the heater so bad...!

[Aggies7]

I wonder how many more times in my life I'm going to see sano swing and miss at an outside breaking ball

[PDX Twin]

TV graphic says Eddie's OBP > .400 over last 49 games. That's an impressive improvement.

This is a growing concern.  Pitchers are learning not to throw him fastballs.  If he can't adjust he could have a serious regression. The K's are piling up.

Baserunning boner

[twinssouth]

Just saw replay of Buxton's catch. Un-friggen-believable. I mean, there are highlight catches and then, this catch, which is amazing, impossible for 99.9% except for Buck. WOW!!!!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

Tying run up yet again

[notoriousgod71]

This staff is so terrible.

[Aggies7]

WOW,

[PDX Twin]

 

This staff is so terrible.

 

They weren't last night...

[GardyParty]

atta Kepler!

[notoriousgod71]

Kepler!!!

 

And what a stupid base running play.

[amjgt]

That was super tremendous

Baserunning boner

Repaid.

[Aggies7]

Defense carrying us tonight.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

This name "John Hicks" sounds familiar...

[h2oface]

Good things can happen when you hit the cut off man! How about that Kepler!!!

[Aggies7]

Repaid.

Yeah that was a pretty terrible 9-4-5 DP

[PDX Twin]

Between Buxton's catch and that one by Kepler, all that's missing is Eddie going over the wall to rob the homerun. (Maybe he'll get another chance in the 9th.)

Also, 93 pitches for Gibson and couldn't get past 4.2 innings. yet,we're in playoff hunt with patched up pitching staff of Santana, Berrios, the big Sexy and see what sticks. Pretty amazing.

Of course. Sir John Hicks was one of the most influential English economists of the mid-20th century!

and now Mauer will either look to draw a walk. Hit a soft sac liner to left or and more than likely GIDP

Or drive in two with a line drive hit.
