Jax’s father was an NFL player?  I didn’t know that.

[CRF]

Well...my solo shot theory looks pretty weak right about now. 

[Aggies7]

You think that hair comes off with jankowski’s helmet?

[Jocko87]

May get bailed out by being to stubborn to bunt.  Dunno what they were thinking there.

Oops. Nevermind.

Being beaten by current twins isn’t much better 

[USAFChief]

Jax. sigh.

Gets the clutch K, then promptly hits a batter and walks in a run.

But it was a CLUTCH walk.

Sorry.

[Aggies7]

Absolutely brutal outing, to hit the 7 hitter and walk the 8 and 9 hitters with bases loaded. Brutal

[RpR]

What is the record for the greatest number of runs scored by walks in a row?

Is there a WRA walks run average?

[MABB1959]

What possible statistic has Gallo playing over MAT

[insagt1]

Jax is a trainwreck. Can't figure out Rocco's thinking about choices of pitchers. But even so, when your guy has to throw strikes and he can't, you deserve what you get. I could see Jax getting a new assignment across the river. He really isn't very good.

[Aggies7]

I’d love the know our record when the starter doesn’t reach the 6th. I understand why that happened today but the record has to be terrible. Can’t hide all of those bad bullpen arms when you need to get 12 outs
