It’s always good when Urshella comes up to bat

Maybe even in the running for team MVP

I don’t know, I just like the music….

He’s a lot better than I expected

[Parfigliano]

Smeltzer for a 3rd inning

[Tlaker]

Provis said Correa is hitting .125 with two outs and runners in scoring position…… well, less now.

Wasted lead off DB.  Again.

Then 3 straight non-competitive at-bats.

We need better hitters AND apparently better hitting coaches, because this ground ball to 2nd offense is getting more and more difficult to watch with each passing batter.

 

Could of used one to 2nd from Sanchez, Team is the worst at advancing when really needed

Why not, they weren’t going to get the runner at the plate anyway.

The annoucer said if he had left it would have beat the runner to home; stupid move.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Smeltzer for the 9th?

And what did that get us?

A chance. It didn't work out, but a runner on third scores on a WP/PB, base hit, error, balk, etc...

What announcer, no way they get him

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The bounce slows the throw down considerably 

[AussieG]

OK, 3, 4, 5 due up. Let's go?!

While I generally agree, I've watched this team struggle getting runners in from scoring position far to often to watch them fail yet again.

Not being negative here, just a realist.

And it Probably would have bounced twice

[Aggies7]

[LVTwinsfan]

Post game show always starts too early around here

There is virtually no value in moving a runner from 2nd to third while making the second out.

[Aggies7]

That’s a god awful strike call 

[Parfigliano]

Bad call ump

Arraez moved him over with the second out, but you are correct.

I go by what the announcer said, simple as that, dislike for Cave does not change the fact, MIranda had no idea what he was doing.

[LVTwinsfan]

Miranda good shot

[USAFChief]

YOU'VE BEEN MIRANDIZED!!

[RpR]

MIranda is the DH replacing Cruz.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Wow!

[Aggies7]

Wow

[Parfigliano]

Nice rookie

[HokieRif]

In Miranda we trust
