That's not a very good use of Rodney?  Id think that would be the perfect time to bring in Pressley or one of those guys.  Bring Rodney in only when you have the lead, to me that is a plain as it gets?

[70charger]

Give him a couple high fastballs now.

I agree but the thought process here is probably to go to the guy who can avoid contact.

[Aggies7]

HUGE. WOW

[Mill1634]

WOW. Thank you 

[PopRiveter]

Good lord.

[AZTwin]

Great D! Love Rodney. He has some deception to his pitching

[Puckett34]

That'll do, Rodney.    That'll do

[Cap'n Piranha]

Well how about that.

[70charger]

No harm, no foul?

[Craig Arko]

Now that’s pitching.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Molitor is King Midas today. I agreed with the Grossman move but the Rodney move had me on edge.

This aged well

So you're saying they should have brought in Buxton?

[BoofBonser]

Incredible!

[diehardtwinsfan]

My game day is frozen, DP?

[Danchat]

Was that Rosario with the double play? As an outfielder-infielder mid 3rd-SS?

[70charger]

 

Now that’s pitching.

 

Or, you know... something.

[KirbyDome89]

 

After the past two seasons, I'm using kid gloves on Buxton until he establishes himself for a week or two and shows he's no longer prone to horrific streaks. We've seen what happens when he gets into his own head early in the season.

 

But if we were talking about Buxton vs Adrianza, I let Buxton hack away. It's a little different when you have the option of going to what is possibly the most professional and selective hitter on the team in a situation where the pitcher is rattled and all you need is a single.

No, I get it. I'm fine with kid gloves that keep him out of the three hole, and I don't disagree that getting him off to a good start would alleviate some nervousness we have about his offense. 

 

I just don't know if I'd extend that safety as far as removing him from late game ABs. IMO that's shielding him a bit too much. 

[70charger]

 

My game day is frozen, DP?

 

Yep, short to home to first.

[Blake]

That was cool to watch.

 

The radar gun had Rodney at 95. I didn't know he still threw that hard.

[PopRiveter]

Molitor is King Midas today. I agreed with the Grossman move but the Rodney move had me on edge.

The Rodney move is always going to have me on edge.

I’m going to need to stock up on more wine.

[Doubles]

Okay, can we put up, like, about a 6-spot here and open this thing up?

[PopRiveter]

It’s Ex-lax time.

We need some runs

[Doubles]

ENOUGH WITH THE BUNTING!!!   

 

HIT DINGERS!!!

[70charger]

 

O Baseball, thou art so good at keeping me on the edge of my seat. 

 

I shall call this, "edging."

 

I'm going to go ahead and ask you not to do that. This is a family site.

[Doubles]

This LaMarre fella is way too pretty to be a ballplayer.

[ashbury]

It’s Ex-lax time.

We need some runs

I clicked Like, but washed my hands afterward.

[ashbury]

Eddie "Warning Track" Rosario!

[David HK]

Golly, what an inning that was.  Rodney dialing it up, and that DP-  whatta gun by Castro there!
