Now it’s up to Tyler Duffey’s ears to get out of the inning.

 

Seriously, though. Those ears. They’re basically a potato famine play in and of themselves.

All the better to hear you with, my dear.

[ashbury]

Gotta find a way to score another run here. This seems like a must win.

Make it two. This isn't Spring Training.

[Don Walcott]

Nice job, Tyler. Now let’s win this!

[FlauerPauer]

 Let's start with one and go from there, lol

Odd thing about Duffey - ever since he got his amped up heater, his curve has become mediocre. 

 

On the other hand, after throwing two hump-back curves down the middle, he strikes a guy out with a good curve down and in. 

 

Odd thing about Duffey...

[bighat]

This team never has a chance if they don't score at least 5 runs. I feel negatively about things since that Kepler homer, I'd like that to change this inning and see some balls fly around the park. Maybe the long half-inning will ice Minor.

[Darius]

Odorizzi would have much more credibility with his “everything will be fine” mantra in the media if he could ever pitch beyond the 5th inning with a lead.

Cron needs to start hitting. Dude has been slumping HARD lately.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good job limiting the damage.

Points for a spurious personal attack!

Cron needs plate discipline.

[FlauerPauer]

Yikes. Second time going down looking.

[ashbury]

I leave you tonight with this thought.

 

[tvagle]

Rocco's roll of the dice has been off lately...hopefully he's learning as we go along and will have a slightly quicker hook moving forward

 

and Cron's is a pain in my bowels

Dead weight offensively, aside from his first game back he's been just invisible. Used to be a huge bat in the 5-spot for this team and he's vanished.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Yeah Mar!

[Danchat]

Marwin's real hot lately, can Schoop follow suite?

[jz7233]

He swung at balls and looked at strike 3 in the middle of the plate.

[Squirrel]

SCHOOOOOOP! And it was clutch, too!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Points for a spurious personal attack!

Oh, lighten up. That’s hardly a personal attack to poke fun of a guy’s ears in a light-hearted manner.

[Don Walcott]

Schoop a doop!!

[FlauerPauer]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Don Walcott]

Schoop a doop!!

[IndianaTwin]

DFA SCHOOP!!!!!!!

 

(Just kidding.)

[Darius]

Schoop got a big hit?

[jz7233]

Schoop finally contributed to a close game! Good job.

[John Kelsey]

Always loved Schoop. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Baseball is a funny game. So it turns out that it only takes about 15 minutes for me to consider crossing "Jonathan Schoop" off my "People I want to kill" list.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not bad for a backup second baseman!

[Squirrel]

Okay, bring in Kelley!
