Such awful baseball. A fricken flyball from Gordon or Sanchez is all that's needed. 

 

That would be way too easy, because we seemingly don't believe in doing anything the easy way.

[Tlaker]

Gawd I hate the new rule at the plate. I don’t think any umpires know how to interpret it correctly, but not only that, it just mucks up the game. For over 120 years, the game has been just fine, I know Fosse and Posey, but speaking as an old catcher this was a solution that came about when there wasn’t a problem.

Cave should not have been sent btw

Especially when you should be able to make contact with this RP.  If it's Hader in his prime, then it's always a possibility of stranding the runner or causing the weak groundball.

Even though it's likely not absolutely true, it sure seems that way!

The last one I can remember that went our way was Game 163 in 2009.

Eh, if I'm managing, we put the contact play on almost every time with 1 out.

With Celestino due up, EVERY time.

Mr, stat man Rocco leftys kill Fullmer , dont get it ?

[h2oface]

Fulmer fools nobody. Mahle gets crushed. Lopez is full contact. 

No doubt we needed pitching. 

Identification is very suspect from all angles.

We are getting the overvalued pitchers that other teams are willing to give up.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Fullmer getting tattooed. 

[CRF]

Fulmer's got nothing. They're hitting rockets off him. 

[Beast]

Folding in the late innings again.

[h2oface]

Poor read by Kepler. Plenty of time. Very bad route to the ball. Costly.

[USAFChief]

Heh.

Awful. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Lead likely gone here momentarily. 

Sigh!

[Tlaker]

Someone please put that computer of Roco’s where the sun don’t shine!

Hard to legislate athletic ability or instinct.

Hey, that's his new nickname: The Inkmaster

[rwilfong86]

I said 2-2 after 6, I was probably one inning off. 

[RickOShea]

Kepler choked.  He makes that play 98 out of 100 times.

[tony&rodney]

Mahle, Fulmer, and Lopez ... oh my.

Are they stopping at 2?

[h2oface]

The Sox love to hit against Fulmer. And do. Was a really formulaic choice to pitch, here. Why not Jax for a second inning? 8 itches too many? Not in the plan pre-game? 

[Beast]

Watch them overturn this for blocking the plate.

[RickOShea]

Perkins "Oh, he didn't have it today".  That's the difference between amateurs and professionals.

[rwilfong86]

I wonder if Chicago will challenge the lane violation there?

Makes no sense to pull him there. Or to pull Bundy after 5 in that case.

I know, right?

[RickOShea]

Oh Man, Sanchez completely blocked the plate.  No lane, whatsoever. Sorry, just auto typed on my pc.

[mrtwinsfan]

r.h. are hitting  about. 155 and L.h . 355 against Fullmer,   Rocco pleez explain
