Is this our first time this season coming to bat trailing?

 

And surely the last.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Cave!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LaBombo]

 

He said Orlando, not Oswaldo.

 

If Oswaldo had suddenly played his way back into MLB, it would serve me right for giving up on following his career when the Diablos traded him to the Guerreros for a freshly overhauled engine for their team bus.

Stashak is lot looking today today. I'm be warming somebody up...

One thing I find frustrating about Baldelli is how he doesn't pull pitchers in the middle of an inning. If you bring one guy in & he clearly doesn't have it like Stashak today, why the heck do you leave him out there to give up runs instead of bringing in a new reliever?!? He's only required to face 3 batters, not finish the inning. I wonder if Rocco thinks the rule is 3 batters AND finish an inning instead of face 3 batters OR finish an inning...

STOP MELLOWING MY HARSH!!1!

Sorry.

 

May i offer a fluffernutter by way of making it right?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, right. It’s good to be reminded the Tigers are playing.

[USAFChief]

Terrible AB from Sano. Takes two called strikes just begging to be hit, ends up K'ing on a pitch nowhere near.

You gave up?!? Then you missed his .412 OBP in the Venezuelan Winter League this past season!

 

Astudillo played with him, I can only assume in the capacity as a Twins liaison to lure him back to Minnesota.

[operation mindcrime]

Let's go Jeffers!!!!!!!

[LaBombo]

 

I’m coming to suspect that Cody has no idea where the ball is going today.

Does he get penalized for being online during a game?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We have a Thielbar on the mound.

Not by MLB, I hope. But Rocco will probably take away his phone on the charter flight, forcing him to play tic tac toe on the seatback entertainment system.

The only winning move is not to play.

Yeah, i was recalling Molitor had some sor of rule like that...

I keep checking the Delta inflight game catalog for Theaterwide Biotoxic and Chemical Warfare, but no go so far...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That halves the lead...

[USAFChief]

Cyborg.

[LaBombo]

Cruz goes yard again, but at his age I'm still concerned about his diminishing speed on the home run trot...

 

But you still have to admire the stealthy power he generates that causes greater carry than you'd anticipate when it leaves his bat, thus robbing Bremer of his semi-hysterical calls.

[wsnydes]

Cruz...dare I say, en fuego!

[wsnydes]

At least he can pace himself on a home run trot.

[Danchat]

Gameday is telling me Kepler has taken 5 balls and is still up to hit, I'm definitely doubting that...

You wouldn't happen to know if the remake was any good?

 

I never bothered to watch it...

Reasonable take.

He swung at ball 5.

[wsnydes]

CB as consistently inconsistent on those calls as the radio crew makes it sound?

[wsnydes]

 

He swung at ball 5.

[stringer bell]

 

Wasn't necessary to barehand that, Willians.

I agree especially considering a right handed hitting catcher was at the plate.
