[Nine of twelve]

Oh man, Soria still plays?

 

 

I was thinking that exact thought.

And he goes and 1-2-3's us.

[operation mindcrime]

Pujols is going for 3000 on MLB network! \m/

[Aggies7]

Take longer to throw, joe. Sheesh

[ashbury]

Effective inning for Hildenberger.

 

You're welcome.

[PDX Twin]

Lots better from Hildy tonight.

[Nine of twelve]

Need us a bigger cushion here.

[OTPS300]

No reason to take a risk there. Double play very iffy. 

[mrmpls]

 

Need us a bigger cushion here.

With Rodney- a cushion means 5 runs 

[mrmpls]

Gift double for joe

[Aggies7]

we simply must score joe

[Nine of twelve]

OK, let's take advantage of this break.

[PDX Twin]

Palka has been watching Grossman.

[Danchat]

C'mon, Dozier, you're just a double away from the cycle...!

[jun]

When was last time Joe swing at the first pitch? He needs to be less predictable.

[adorduan]

that was pretty bad.  thanks Palka!

[Aggies7]

We’re not even going to advance joe, are we?

[LaBombo]

 

Need us a bigger cushion here.

 

Just a cushion? You have more confidence than I do. I'm thinking Rodney needs a whole sectional sofa.

Hold on to your hats ladies and germs

[PDX Twin]

Another Blown-Save Opportunity for Rodney.

[mrmpls]

Every team needs a Grossman, Thanks Palka

[LaBombo]

Was just going to say 'strap in', but the hat thing would work too.

 

[Aggies7]

How bad was that last half inning though? A gift double and dozier, Kepler and Escobar couldn’t even advance him. Yikes.

[David HK]

OK, buckle up.....FRE time.

[LaBombo]

 

When was last time Joe swing at the first pitch? He needs to be less predictable.

 

Joe's gone more than a year without swinging at a single 3-0 pitch.

 

Joe doesn't do unpredictable.

[David HK]

Hm.  Wonder if Doze was trying for that cycle, instead of maybe moving the runner....   Oh, well, makes the FRE- coaster more exciting tho...

 

[Nine of twelve]

Glad Joe is 6'5".

[Aggies7]

I am just stunned

[Nine of twelve]

Rodney never in doubt. Good morning, good afternoon, good night!

[Squirrel]

Whew!

 

And I already had my chicken.

[ashbury]

The Fernando Rodney Experience is a positive one tonight.

 

You're welcome.
