Hendriks has a good enough curve and change that he shouldn't use the slider. The slider is a huge part of his problem with RHB. Today we've already seen RHB swing and miss against the curve. I see this as a good adjustment by Liam.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Another hard-hit ball from Escobar.

[JeffReboulet]

I am developing a mancrush on Escobar.

Well, when you're Jeff Reboulet, I imagine it's pretty easy to crush on middle infielders with a bit of pop.

Back when Jeff Reboulet played I purchased a fantasy baseball magazine that had write ups on every player. I'll never forget Jeff's write up...Reboulet is a French word meaning "bottom of the barrel".

[Brock Beauchamp]

Doumit doesn't usually get a shift like this, does he?

[JeffReboulet]

Dick REALLY wants Doumit to bunt here, you can tell.

 

Ugh, maybe he should have.

[Ultima Ratio]

I maybe remember seeing it twice last year, maybe... so no.

[chavez]

Are we really not going to score here?

[ashbury]

Oof, there really is something to be said for a pitcher who can strike out a couple of guys in a row.

[chavez]

Atta Boy Parm!

[GCTF]

Effective.

[Ultima Ratio]

Huge!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Chris deserved that after the last two ABs.

[snepp]

I'll take it.

[$tryf4Life]

Nice. I am routing for parmelee to get going. I'll take it.

[chavez]

Yes!!!!

[snepp]

LOLkakis.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Dozier. Strong like bull.

[GCTF]

Maybe they'll play Dozier a tad deeper next time up.

[$tryf4Life]

Sweet, two out hitting!

[Ultima Ratio]

Huger!!

[chavez]

Maybe we should turn this over to the bullpen right now.

[snepp]

Huger!!

 

How all we need is an Escobar homer for the hugerest.

[ashbury]

Good baserunning to Mornie to get to third? I'm just "watching" by the Yahoo play-by-play and he scampered over from first on a single to "shallow center".

 

Of course Dozier makes it moot with his triple...

[JeffReboulet]

HELL YES! Nice to see Parm/Dozier come through here, especially when Doumit and Plouffe could not.

[Ultima Ratio]

Turn the lineup over Escobear

[snepp]

Well, with two outs he was already around 2nd by the time the ball landed.

 

It was also a broken bat looper that hung in the air just long enough to get over the shortstop.

[chavez]

Pedro is effed

Justin tries to motor through the area around second base. Bad memories.

 

Also, Escobar!
