They walk Sano here, right?

Probably worth the risk but it does bring the go ahead run to the plate. 

[yarnivek1972]

pray tell, why?

Didn’t they make that “must face three batters” a rule? Or didn’t it go through?

[USAFChief]

ah, I forgot about that.

[twinsnorth49]

 

What should they have done differently? They got a run.

 

Polanco needs to hold there, needs to make a read on Kepler. No need to get eliminated on the base paths in that situation. 

[MNT1996]

Man this ump has been inconsistent 

[twinsnorth49]

Same location he called strike on Cron

[ashbury]

I am shocked Cederstrom didn't take the bat out of Sano's hands with that low outside pitch.

Keep it going.

[yarnivek1972]

Yeah, pitching to Sano was not smart Tito.

[twinsnorth49]

Dude has been full clutch lately. Loving is approach so much. 

[ashbury]

We probably don't want to trade away Sano, do we?

[Aggies7]

ALOHA MR HAND

[Danchat]

I wonder if Indians fans are mad that they didn't acquire any relievers at the deadline...

[Kato87]

the rule next year 

[yarnivek1972]

I would run for Sano if he was the go ahead run. Can’t afford to take his bat out.

[USAFChief]

PH Schoop here?

I mean it seems like umps can get away with murder, but making a hitter bat without a bat sounds like it might be against the rules.

That thread title is not aging well. Although the Superstar part was always inaccurate.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, I have that happen sometimes too, where I accidentally set something on my keyboard and it strings out a whole bunch of the same character. 

 

[MNT1996]

It's amazing. This is exactly who I want at the plate. And he's a 22 year old rookie.

ALOHA MR HAND

Hey bud what's your problem?

[twinssporto]

 

They walk Sano here, right?

 

Why? their pitchers are flawless.

[TwinsCD]

 

PH Schoop here?

Gosh, I hope your normal sarcasm is in play here cuz it's Arraez!!

[tvagle]

 

ALOHA MR HAND

Is this a call?

I wonder if Indians fans are mad that they didn't acquire any relievers at the deadline...

 

Post of the night. 

[nicksaviking]

Walk the lefty?!

[MNT1996]

The little head shake he does after taking a pitch always cracks me up.
