That's a darn fine debut for young Aaron Slegers. I doff my nylon toupee to the rookie!

[ashbury]

Heck of a debut by Aaron Sliders.

[yarnivek1972]

Standing O for the rookie.

What was the response when Gibson exited game one? Bronx cheer?

[Aggies7]

Standing, but also running to the bathroom to vomit.

[yarnivek1972]

OMFG

[Aggies7]

Figures.

[DocBauer]

Just got home, saw ONE pitch and Slegers pulled. ARG! Box score reads great! How did he look?

[BoofBonser]

Such a Twinsy game... 

[ashbury]

Son of a gun!

[yarnivek1972]

How is that NOT an error?

[BoofBonser]

He looks like he should be getting Gibson's starts and Gibson should be getting his

[jimbo92107]

I don't remember seeing Kepler lose his footing before. I assume the grass was soaked in that corner. 

[Aggies7]

I feel physically ill for slegers

[DocBauer]

Damn shame, Kepler slipping like that. Puts a damper on Slegers debut

[yarnivek1972]

That has got to be an error and an unearned run. No way does he get sent if Kepler doesn't trip over his feet.

[jimbo92107]

I bet Hildenberger and Kepler both apologized to Slegers after that. 

[DocBauer]

I'd say wet, looked like a long divit and mud

[DocBauer]

I may have to watch some of the replay of this game just to watch Slegers

[DocBauer]

What's the name of Clevinger's band?

[yarnivek1972]

I'd say wet, looked like a long divit and mud

It shouldn't be too wet. It didn't rain today, did it?

 

Guess Grossman will be DL'd. Broken thumb. I'd assume Granite.

[jimbo92107]

Grossman's thumb is busted. Dang, that sucks. I wonder if they'll bring Granite up again...

[BoofBonser]

That's how you make up for it Kep!!!

[BoofBonser]

 

What's the name of Clevinger's band?

Mikey and the Dipmasters

[DocBauer]

Did Slegers get added to the 40 man? I think we had two open slots. I would say that in light of today's performances, the correct move after today would be to send Gibson to AAA and keep Slegers in the rotation. that may not be necessary with Enns on the 10 day DL. I would like to see Slegers get another start.

Agreed! You can't pitch in AAA that well, perform that well in your debut and not stick around for more.

[yarnivek1972]

Is there a re-entry rule in MLB? Bribg in Slegers for one pitch.

 

 

[ashbury]

Kepler, you are forgiven.

[jimbo92107]

Kepler with a nice drive, should lay up well in front of the green on the Par 4. 

[DocBauer]

Maximus!

[Mill1634]

Well that is a way to make up for it, Max!!!

 

In other news, Molitor still insists on having someone fake a bunt every damn inning. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Needed that!
