I ask again....

 

[mnfireman]

Gordon looking like a former top prospect lately....

[RickOShea]

With the issues we have, we need to take a chance.  Gotta try and make the other team make a play.

Gotta advance on that. More bad baseball. 

Especially when you're the #5 batter and you look at what is coming up behind you.  You gamble for every base.

[RickOShea]

Now Urshela.

Buck loading up on the seeds.

Yup.  Good point.

[RickOShea]

Pagan in the ninth?

[USAFChief]

Man.

It's hard to like this team sometimes 

 

[Parfigliano]

Pathetic.

I miss Duffey

[IndyTwinsFan]

No clutch hit yet again.  Pathetic. 

[RickOShea]

2 bits says Baldelli told the offense to tank.  He wants to see Lopez perform in a 'High Leverage' situation.

[Nine of twelve]

OK, Mr. Lopez, show us what you got.

[srjr19]

Hopefully we won't have to repeat that exercise in the 10th

[RickOShea]

Did we trade for Mungo Jerry?

[RickOShea]

Thank God, we had Beckham at first. Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't need input from Rocco on that.  They're plenty good at tanking entirely on their own.

It's the summertime, so, maybe?

Ha! Good one!!

[RickOShea]

The Blue Jays are 'professional hitters".  They adjust by choling up, cutting down on their swings, going with the pitch, etc.

[ashbury]

Let's not throw the knuckle curve, if that's what that was, twice in a row anymore, 'k?

Per Provus, 3rd hit off Lopez' curve all year.

 

Lucky us.

Something we need a lot of lessons on.

So jumping out of your shows attempting to pull everything like a Twin hitter is the wrong approach?
