Envision that 94 MPH put out pitch in a bullpen role... That could (and should) be his future.

[ashbury]

I'm guessing that's really funny, but I confess I have no idea.

Tried to do his Jake Cave impression there, but lacks the panache to completely whiff and let the ball travel to the wall.

I have confidence with more practice he'll get there.

We used to just play. I had no idea there were actual coaches.

[ashbury]

For the moment, Mauer and Rosario make this game worth watching a while longer.

I have this Irish friend who is opening up a store featuring tables, chairs and such that are meant to be used outdoors here in sunny Arizona.

 

He's calling his place "Patty O'Furniture."

That joke's as old as you are, Chief.

[Squirrel]

 

My dad's neighbor invented the miniskirt. Denise Arshowing.

And that joke's as whatever it is as you, Ash.

[Crackedfungo]

Outfield play sure sucks compared to our regular (when hitting and not injured outfield. It sure can pick up or diminish up a pitchers confidence when you have multiple Delmon Young plays in a game.

[Squirrel]

 

I recently had an unpleasant skin condition in a sensitive spot. Went to see my dermatologist. Jacques Kitsch.

Ish.

[ashbury]

Oh well, easy come easy go. (Referring to the game's status, not the silly names.)

[big dog]

I support letting Stewart pitch to Encarnacion, and I support taking him out after Encarnacion hit the double to put the Indians back in front.  This is exactly what I wanted Molitor to do in Stewart's last start, and I'm glad the kid got a chance to go five and leave with the game tied.  Didn't happen, but he had his shot.

 

And if we lose this game 3-2, it's still ok with me.

I've learned not to be upset by comments like this, thanks to my Meditation coach. Dolly Lama.

I might have let him go one more batter still, but I wasn't paying close attention and maybe he was visibly out of gas?

I like her approach to meditation ...

 

 

I mean, who wouldn't? Mmmmm, waffles ...

Going back to the intro question - since you don’t her well yet you can get your teacher a gift card. Maybe to a local restaurant or Starbucks.

[ashbury]

Rosario played the wall well on that long single by Gomes.

[S.]

Did Smalley just call him Edward Encarnacion?

[Vanimal46]

Hey! A lead!

[ashbury]

Grossman gives us the lead! Who'da thunk?

[Danchat]

I guess he's gotta make up for his defensive gaffes. That makes him the perfect "not good enough to win games but also not bad enough to get DFA'd" guy.

[snepp]

A couple more runs and they'll have surpassed the previous week's worth of output.

I wouldn't have minded him going one more batter, but Molly gave him a chance to leave with the game tied even with a runner on base so at least he got his shot to walk off the mound tied.

[wavedog]

Good to see nice pitching by May and Rogers

[snepp]

Astudillo struck out?

 

 

I demand a recount.

[Halsey Hall]

6 more outs and I will retire.

[Vanimal46]

A pitch right down Broadway isn't a strike? Brutal.

[snepp]

Attaboy Logan, take one for the team.

[snepp]

Ok Sano-sie, time to pony up, you owe us a big fly.

[ashbury]

Time for the THE.

[snepp]

WINNAH!!!
