Nice rip, Kep.

[bighat]

Attaboy Max.

 

Let's keep the line moving! Polanco's due....

[Mill1634]

MAX!

[Danchat]

Yeah Max, there we go! Let's keep stringing together some hits.

[Aggies7]

Too bad Avila is amongst the slowest humans alive

[Diesel]

MAX!

[USAFChief]

 

Singer grabs at the batted ball with his throwing hand...

I remember being at a concert many years ago. I think it was Leo Kottke. The performer said that when he realized he was becoming a professional musician he taught himself not to grab at stuff as a reflex.

WOW, Leo Kottke.

 

How old ARE you anyway?

[bighat]

Productive out Polanco, attaboy.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

WOW, Leo Kottke.

 

How old ARE you anyway?

Come for the baseball, stay for the history.

[70charger]

Brand new ballgame.

[ashbury]

Too bad Avila is amongst the slowest humans alive

How many runs ahead would we be if he were faster?

 

[Nine of twelve]

 

WOW, Leo Kottke.

 

How old ARE you anyway?

Put it this way, that concert was probably in about 1979.

[ashbury]

Brand new ballgame.

Not when you're the visiting team, exactly.

 

[bighat]

Ok Berrios, let's see what you got here against the top of the lineup. Let's shut em down buddy.

That depends on how fast Kepler is...would that have been a triple?

[70charger]

Nitpicker!

[Twodogs]

Lead off walks suck

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s really hard to watch Berrios pitch

[ashbury]

Ok Berrios, let's see what you got here against the top of the lineup. Let's shut em down buddy.

Four pitch walk to start the inning. I don't care how the inning comes out, this is a bad response to the run support he just received.

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not when you're the visiting team, exactly.

 

So it's a brand new 6.5 inning game, where you are the home team loosing out on the half inning.

 

They don't come newer than that, unless you play calvin ball.

[USAFChief]

Way to buckle down once the offense ties the game, Jose.

[Aggies7]

Oh Jose

[twins1095]

Berrios is the king of doing **** like that 4 pitch walk just after the having a chance to stabilize.

[USAFChief]

Terrible slider there from Berrios, got lucky that wasn't hit to Omaha.

[MNT1996]

Berrios just doesn't look confident out there

[Aggies7]

The lack of a put away pitch is concerning

[Don Walcott]

If he keeps throwing to first, maybe Soler will just go away.

[USAFChief]

LOL.

Terrible slider there from Berrios, got lucky that wasn't hit to Omaha.

That's OK, Omaha is in foul territory.

[Aggies7]

About done with Jose.
