Up four. Who in the ninth? Floro? Balazovic? 

EDIT: Never mind — he’s on first.

It's hard to tell on Gameday, but I think Wallner might've fouled a ball off his body?

For a split or a sweep?

Pitch hit him on the hand. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sigh.

 

Another hit batsman.

Dropping like flies...hit to shallow right field.

As he swung through it, so he didn't even get awarded the base.

[Aggies7]

LETS GO GET IT TOGETHER HERE

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And another one bites the dust.

[Aggies7]

[Twinning Blue]

Damn, this pitchers a danger out there

Speaking of, I saw nasty video of a Cardinals hitter last night who hit a foul ball straight down. Let’s just say that Lars got hit in the Nootbaar.

[stringer bell]

One thing that has bugged me all year is the usage of long relievers in the bullpen. Sands/Headrick/Winder aren’t even considered in a four-run game. Sands has been on the roster almost all season and I don’t think he has thrown a high-leverage inning. 
 

To add to my thought, maybe it’s okay for Duran to pitch a medium stress inning considering his struggles lately, but either Winder or Sands should be the second guy getting ready.

Yeah that wouldn’t have been humerus at all

Agree on DQ, but are you kidding? Have you never had a Snickers Blizzard? 

Blizzards are the best! Oreo is my jam. I grew up by an old school DQ grill and chill that hand dipped Dilly bars and made peanut buster parfaits with love! 

[David HK]

Hi gang!  Been a while.  Got a chance to sit down and watch the Twinks for a change! 

Tell you what, though, 3 HPB is too much for my old-school a**.  I'm taking steps toward that tall fella on that mound right about now.
