That hit to center is where we miss Buxton....

Being on the analytic side of the spectrum, this is hard for me to say, but defensive metrics still aren't capable of capturing what Buxton brings to the team. The win differential when he's in the lineup versus out may be a little fluky, but the ripple effect of his play in CF and moving Kep to right holds some magic.

LOL Arraez being Arraez at the plate

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn it, that kid is a straight-up baller.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Holy crap...i have Sling and the stream is at least a minute behind you guys. Lol

Have you seen the triple play yet— spoilers!!

[Don Walcott]

Nice patience, Rook!

[h2oface]

giving CC the outside pitch. damn.

[VATwinsFan]

You have to. Or they'll be out of relievers before game 2 even starts.

True enough.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

giving CC the outside pitch. damn.

After five straight misses. Awesome.

[h2oface]

3-1 is a lot different than 2-2.

Holy crap...i have Sling and the stream is at least a minute behind you guys. Lol

 

I'm trying Hulu +live right now and I'm getting the same delay.  I'm getting the update on my phone before the play happens

[Brock Beauchamp]

Nice dirt sandwich.

[a-wan]

HA! Encarnacion in on the grass protecting for the bunt.

 

All those stupid bunts from Polanco have paid off finally.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That's actually normal, even for broadcast a lot of the time.

[Don Walcott]

How about a bunt here?

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Polanco!!!

[Aggies7]

Our old nemesis, bases loaded, no outs

[Mill1634]

Bases loaded....incoming triple play in 3...2....1... 

 

[Don Walcott]

Pirhanas!!

[h2oface]

No score. How does that happen?

[Mill1634]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

A right-center bloop for each team... with the benefit of hindsight, I’ll take it

[Aggies7]

That first pitch to Cruz was the one.

 

Omg catchers interference hahaha

[Brock Beauchamp]

Bases loaded, no outs, one of the most professional hitters on the team at the plate.

 

This almost guarantees no runs scored.

[DiscGolfer]

C'mon now lets do some damage here

[Don Walcott]

Nice!! Find ways to score, boys!!

[operation mindcrime]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[Tom Froemming]

Well, that's one way to get a run in with the bases juiced.

[DiscGolfer]

is that considered small ball?

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

No score. How does that happen?

Arraez can't get too far from second because the ball was so close in center. Because it was in danger of being caught, he had to hold up a bit.

[Aggies7]

This has to be a 4 run inning, at minimum. Yeah I know
