yes

Thank you. Geez. Took long enough.

[DocBauer]

Poppen back down after this game for another arm, or no?

Good first appearance by Popped! And only 26 pitches. I think he sticks around a couple of days. Who else would you bring up right now?

[Danchat]

How the heck did Rodriguez end up going 7 innings?

[LaBombo]

 

ASTUDILLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This just in... FDA approves Willians' baserunning for use as alternative to pharmaceutical anti-depressants.

We were knocking Rodriguez around pretty good until Gibson's momentum killing, blow up inning.  

 

Eduardo has retired 9 straight.

 

 

[DocBauer]

Ahhh...slightly surprised he's getting a 3rd inning

[wabene]

Poppen gets quality start in relief, story at ten.

[Vanimal46]

How is Rodriguez still pitching in this game?

Back in your day people used to throw 200 pitches with a 5 pound rock... On a mound... Uphill!

Smeltzer, Krol, Moya, Reed, Stewart, Thorpe, Vasquez are all realistic possibilities.

Can we say that Poppen is the King of Leon?

Not Kep's best read on that carom. I know it's a tough corner and we're spoiled by all of his good plays off the wall, but that cost us a run.

 

On the bright side, it looks like the offense is determined to see that an extra run given up won't matter.

[Linus]

Sean. Thanks for the three innings. Here is your ticket back to Rochester

 

Yours truly

Cave took his sweet time getting there to back up for the carom, was the bigger problem, IMO. That's a tough read for a right fielder. If the ball doesn't quite reach the sandstone, it's catchable.

Um, if the Giants will give me Madison Bumgarner for Luis Arraez, the kid would be on a plane before the conversation was over.

Sean: "Am I at least in the A group on the Southwest flight?"

 

Rocco: "Sorry bud, the rewards points were there... But we need to keep the financial flexibility heading into next year. We got you B 49."

[Aggies7]

Well I’ll guess they’ll just have to get fat on another bad team this weekend.

[Tomj14]

So maybe get Bumgarner, Dyson, and Smith prior to tomorrows game?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good job, Popp-sie. You are done tonight.

I am taking you out of the game because you are one pitch from imploding.

You’re welcome, Rocco. I tried to tell ya...

[Aggies7]

Oof this is getting ugly

[USAFChief]

84 MPH sliders right down the pipe work in Rochester?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think they should have taken out Poppen. Let someone like Magill burn out the last two innings.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

He’s obviously overmatched here in the third inning of his debut.

[Soft Tosser]

Slider doesn't look too great right now

[Richie the Rally Goat]

in a divot, with an arm and a leg amputated

[jimbo92107]

The concept of "balance point" is entirely foreign to Poppin right now....

[USAFChief]

You'll always have those 2 DPs, Sean.

[Aggies7]

Brock holt looks like he should be teaching a high school kid how to make a birdhouse with those glasses on

The problem is Magill probably burned out after his last two innings .

[AlwaysinModeration]

Maybe one more double play?

The bus leaves for Toledo tomorrow night around 7PM
