These runs courtesy of the all important win stat....well, that and for some reason they didn't bring in their best RP with the bases loaded.

 

Not a fan of Molly this inning....

Who would you have gone with?

[James]

 

I am going to predict that all 3 of those inherited base runners score.

I'm not going to bet against you on this one.

BINGO!

[twinsnorth49]

Anyone else's heart stop?

 

Just me?

[TFRazor]

It's my fault y'all. I stepped away and we put up the 8-spot. Came back and now Houston put up 4. I'm leaving now.

too much healthy poutine?

[gocgo]

i could see this being tied very soon.

[Blake]

Wow.

 

Survived.

 

With a lead.

[Doubles]

 

BINGO!

Whoa whoa whoa.  

 

That is not a term we throw around here haphazardly today.

Thanks, it worked

[Mike Sixel]

reed. Their only truly reliable RP.

I thought it was Buxton almost obliterating himself into Rosario, but perhaps you're onto something. 

[gocgo]

 

Whoa whoa whoa.

I thought someone had already won!

[ashbury]

I am in favor of some insurance runs.

[TFRazor]

I see Hildenberger getting sent down soon

[wsnydes]

Why don't more guys do that more often?  

[jud6312]

Is that 7 for 7 on inherited runners scoring off of Hildy this year? Wowza.

[Craig Arko]

 

I see Hildenberger getting sent down soon

Probably Friday, when Hughes is activated.

[jud6312]

 

Probably Friday, when Hughes is activated.

At that point is it even worth it? A+ did work on Phil, can't imagine it'll be better in the the bigs.

[ashbury]

Probably Friday, when Hughes is activated.

Not Mejia?

[TFRazor]

 

Not Mejia?

I would definitely be more of a fan of trotting mejia out instead of phil. Too bad they're choosing starters by contract.

[gocgo]

Yes it is...IRS % of 100 with IR stranded of 0.

[FunnyPenguin]

Mauer...swinging out of the zone again

[jud6312]

JT who now? Didn't need him.

[TFRazor]

 

Mauer...swinging out of the zone again

I mean he's super human but not inhuman. Everybody chases at some point.

[Doubles]

 

reed. Their only truly reliable RP.

Can't speak to today, but Reed was reportedly out yesterday with strep throat.

 

Now that I think of it, Gibby kinda pitched the 5th like he had something constricting his neck today, as well.

[jud6312]

I wish we could get him to chase one of those first-pitch, belt-high fastballs from time to time.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Whoa whoa whoa.

I thought the game was Dabgo...

[USAFChief]

Joe "Mr RBI" Mauer.
