I declare this a safe lead

 

[Aggies7]

Rocco doing Perez a big disservice here. No reason he should have been left in this long.

dammit spoke too soon

[DocBauer]

Great start! Just time to bring someone in.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

We just had a pretty scary earthquake here in Los Angeles.

Are those aftershocks?

 

Are you feeling them in LA?

[yarnivek1972]

Wow, when Perez loses it, he REALLY loses it.

[Blake]

Wow, got a good long shaking here in CA.

 

Long, slow, rolling earthquake.

[yarnivek1972]

We just had a pretty scary earthquake here in Los Angeles.

Probably just another after shock.

[IndianaTwin]

Is the audio going up and down for anyone else?

Do you see the buttons with the up arrow and the down arrows?

 

Don’t hit them.

[Blake]

Yeah, I'm north of you in Bakersfield.

 

Initial report I saw was 7.1 same place as the one yesterday.

With runners on 1st and 2nd the double play was still intact and given how many grounders Perez got tonight I don't think it was a terrible decision to leave him out there. Unfortunately the grounder was out of the reach of a infielder that time. 

[Blake]

Not an aftershock. New quake.

 

According to my wife, it was predicted there is a 50% chance of more quakes after the first one.

[Aggies7]

How could a 9-0 lead always feel so uncomfortable?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I was just about to say I was impressed with Harper this year.

 

(Still am, but, timing...)

[MNT1996]

Not much can come easy for this team as of late

[Aggies7]

Holy moly getting close to a save situation here

[howeda7]

Commence meltdown. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Can never have too many runs.

[Aggies7]

This is why you don’t leave a starter in when he’s clearly out of gas.

[DocBauer]

I still really like what Harper has done most of this season. But stil...Grrrr. Perez doesn't deserve what this does to his numbers.

[twinsbaby]

Why our pitchers always can't get swing-and-miss? In this situation, pitcher needs to get a K.

 

Under Wes Johnson, Jose Berrios becomes a contact pitcher.

[Aggies7]

Ridiculous it should never be that difficult

[MVP Nick Punto]

Hey, it's still just a normal, 9 to 5 workday for the twins

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That double play was a nice gift from an old friend (Santana), Perez is throwing very well and now we need insurance runs.

With a 7-0 lead, this plea for insurance runs felt more tongue in cheek than serious.

Perez was great through 6, but the way he pitched in the 7th I think he deserved the 4 runs he's charged with.

It was a 7.1, but far east of L.A.

[DocBauer]

GARVER!!!!

[Squirrel]

Whew' we needed that!

[twinsbaby]

Great? No. He is very lucky through 6. When many balls put in play and not a hit, that's very low BABIP. Don't tell anyone under .200 BABIP is pitching great.

You are what your record says you are. He is who we thought he was. Etc.
