Well, I'll be duked!

[FunnyPenguin]

Well here come the big three! (sano, mauer, dozier)

Dozier compounding one mistake by making another...

Can Reed come back out for the 9th?   Surely there should be a new rule.

Theoretically, if a pitcher was good enough to play a different defensive position, I would think you could have him pitch the 7th, play right field for example in the 8th, and then pitch the 9th again.

 

I assume that would require you to either have a position player pitch the 8th, or lose the DH.

Am I right in thinking that Rodney has one clean inning the whole year, so far, and that was his very first appearance in Baltimore in which he got a double play?

[slash129]

Of course, Jekyll Betances shows up today.

[Aggies7]

That was ugly.

And it was only 2/3

[Jerr]

Ugly, ugly and ugly 9th inning at bats for the stars, of our team................  

[John Kelsey]

Hard to even fault them, when Betances is on he's basically unhittable. 

[Aggies7]

hold on to your hats ladies and germs.

 

and also have someone ready in the pen

it used to happen with some regularity, usually for 1 batter, with the pitcher standing in the OF. With the money and the DH, much less common.

Win or lose this inning will require you to plug your nose

[FunnyPenguin]

Ladies make sure all seat belts are buckled, seat backs and tray tables are in the upright position, we are about to experience some rough air

[Aggies7]

this team, i'll tell ya

[USAFChief]

FFS

[wsnydes]

Can nothing be easy?

[Danchat]

There's not much Rodney can do about that one.

[FunnyPenguin]

On a positive note, that was a 97 mph fastball from a 41 year old

[Aggies7]

grounds crew rolling out the tarp. too much urine accumulating on the field

[Cap'n Piranha]

So maybe we should have prioritized 3rd base defense from Esco, rather than 1st base defense from LoMo?
