That at bat plate appearance by Buxton looked really good on the radio. A few more of those, please.

Nope, Rocco's right there in the dugout

Bux:  "But Mr falvey, 3 of my 42 RBIs came on bases loaded walks"  Ya know how tough that is todo, with just  43 opportunities?"

We can't keep Gelof the bases.

He pitched last night, gonna guess a 2 inning appearance isn't likely. 

The extra run is huge, but we'll see how this goes. Next question is how willing Rocco will be to use Duran for more than an inning after struggling through 17 pitches last night. 

Let's hope Ortega makes that moot. 

[USAFChief]

Your thrice weekly reminder there are no low leverage relievers. 

[RickOShea]

Castro just flunked his baseball IQ quiz.

[USAFChief]

Duran here, Lopez 9th.

Edit: leaving Ortega in worked, but I still think that was the wrong move.

 

[cHawk]

I see I’ve missed quite a game.

[IndianaTwin]

I hope Ortega remembers that third base is open and keeps up the sliders (down and away). 

[mrtwinsfan]

lOPEZ OR dURAN ?

Yeah Trevor and Justin got into a fight in the booth.  Bremer body slammed both of them and kicked Trevor out.

Reminds me need to go to store tomorrow.

[IndianaTwin]

Did they get rid of the pitch clock during the All-Star Break? This is the second game in a row that's been more than three hours. 

Let's keep the long games on the east coast, please.

I think it will be Duran. I think Rocco is going to be very careful about Lopez in the ninth for a few games. 

Let's get a couple more and go to Sands. 

[wabene]

I miss Trevor May

[Parfigliano]

Jeffers with a bunt.  Another facet of the game Vasquez lacks

Call him up, he may have a room for you to rent.
