WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

CLEAR THOSE BASES!!

[snotboogie]

Carnival Cruz!

 

[Darius]

And the grown man Cruz steps up and takes care of business. What a clutch hit.

[operation mindcrime]

PAGAN:

 

People

Against

Goodness

And

Normalcy

Just the facts ma'am!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Thank you, Nelly

[Token Twin]

Can you look up what the Twins are with the bases loaded this season to either confirm or defuse my bias that they SUCK with them loaded?

This comment aged well.

[yarnivek1972]

Need about 4-5 more runs to make it through with the pen.

[Darius]

And that was an 0-2 pitch. Unforgivable for Pagan

Unforgivable for Pagan, agreed. But it was extreme luck for the Rays up to that point.

 

If Schoop gets the bunt down it’s a tie game, at minimum, on Arraez’s single. Then, somehow, Polanco can’t get a run across with the bases juiced and one down. There might not be a hitter in the World this side of Trout i’d rather have at the plate in that situation.

 

You only have so much Karma.

HaHaHaHaaaaaaaaa...!!!

 

He tried to slip that Pagan slider past Cruz!

 

Nothin' doin'! 

HaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....!!!

 

[MVP Nick Punto]

Nice that we were able to take care of business before getting to Sano. If we could just switch him out specifically when he'd bat with 2 outs then put him back in...

Like fine whine.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

[MVP Nick Punto]

Did we win yet?

Yes, 51 times so far.

Women’s college softball has some bizarre substitution rules, specifically there’s a “designated player” which only plays defense. Perhaps miguel could do that if he improves his defense

[Blake]

And a depleted lineup finds a way to get a lead.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

15 K's in 70 PAs with RISP this year (.773 OPS)

 

You can look this stuff up.

Regarding with RISP though ... he is hitting .188, with an OPS of ..773

I read that fast and thought you were talking about me and friends in high school

18th in OPS loaded. 4th in OPS with RISP

[Jham]

Can we talk about how the Perkins guy can order a burger and a slice of pie at 10am and have the waitress bring the pie first, but not specify either the type of burger or pie he wants? Like just bring whatever burger and pie you think will best help me land wife number 3.

Is that the one where they talk about it being spring time?

[snotboogie]

Ugh. I have another early wake up tomorrow, and I need to get to bed. I was planning to go to the game tomorrow, but Belinda on teevee's Channel 11 tells me that there will be a front rolling through with severe weather right at game time. So if you see this tomorrow

That is me.

First World problems.

What a bullpen, pleez make a couple deals

They'd never find a uniform that fits.

Or the summer bbq after he gets trespassed from Perkins and can only dream about shrimp omelets. Shrimp omelets. Bubba couldn't even come up with that in Forrest gump.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Wow, interesting substitutions...

I assume everyone watching on FSNorth sees the same commercials I do on mlb extra innings. It’s a loop of the same 5 or 6 commercials

You don't happen to live anywhere near Castle Greyskull, do you?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yes, 51 times so far.

Not enough...

 

Moar wins pleaz.

[USAFChief]

A half dozen runs here would be welcome.
