Well done, Trevor May!! Let’s see some more of that in the 9th.

[D. Hocking]

It seems like these never end up being that "mild".  We can't even have mediocre things at this point.

Robbie Grossman left with a mild right hamstring strain

Will Grossman’s injury lead to a chance for Wade?

He's on the DL...unfortunately

Crap.

[yarnivek1972]

Slam # 2 for the day?

[tvagle]

How about some good old fashioned contact with the sacks full Garvesauce?

 

EDIT: only works for lefties apparently

[mrmpls]

O.M.G. Have a game Garver-Geez

[ashbury]

Was hoping for better than that DP from Garver.

[Aggies7]

Sigh

Tough break for Garver. Tough game for Garver.

[ashbury]

Garver stands so far from the plate, the ball down the middle makes it like he's trying to pull an outside pitch.

[yarnivek1972]

Good time for a “pick me up” Ehire.

Let's make a bold move and slide Rooker up for a look see...has to be better than a GIDP and Bunt

[Aggies7]

Bases loaded no outs, how often do zero runs score?

 

What a play

[yarnivek1972]

Don’t stand, don’t stand so close to me...

[ashbury]

I bet Garver doesn't make the play that we just saw Perez make. Few could.

[tvagle]

Joseph McCarthy with the improbable Houdini

 

EDIT: with a Wily Peralta assist

Here we go....FRE in full effect

 

Richard with the kiss of death "long time since Rodney's had a clean inning"

[Don Walcott]

What was that about a clean inning, Dick?

[bighat]

Garver with an unforgivable day at the plate.

 

[Aggies7]

I really, really, really don’t want Rodney back next year.

[mrmpls]

No replay- off sano glove ?

Great throw, Mitch!
