On a positve note, nifty little piece of base running there from Buxton. Always make the guy make the throw. and be prepared to take advantage of a poor one.

I mostly remember him serving meatballs to Jason Giambi.

Strike three! He's out, man!

 

Seems like this movie's gonna need some punching up, if it's gonna make Marvel any dough.

I haven't had enough Scotch yet to come up with something clever to go with Giambi!

Or meatballs.  Except for spaghetti or a nice Chianti.

I just had my wife's spaghetti and meatballs with bourbon... trying to Americanize it.

Ober now sits at a 12.79 ERA. Tim Melville in 2017, eat your heart out.

Margot is French for bunts randomly.

In all seriousness, Anthony Hopkins' performance in Silence Of The Lambs is the greatest acting performance I've ever seen.

Second is Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona.

Thanks Rocco,  

[USAFChief]

Yeah, little bit of overmanaging here, Rocco.

And Okert isn't really very good.

You should've seen me getting out of  basketball practice...

[OvertheHill]

Well that blows

Why. Take. Ober. Out.

[OvertheHill]

Handedness be damned, Ober settling into a groove so you yank him for a mediocre reliever at 68 pitches. Vintage Baldelli.

He shows ZERO Confidence in his players,  its all Scripted  and STUPID

On the broadcast they mentioned the "third time through the order" issue. But you don't take a guy out when he's cruising. You have to watch the game that's in front of you. 

[nicksaviking]

Poor move to take Ober out.

But the bullpen has been great this year and they're well rested. This won't be the most egregious move this year. Unfortunately.

[Jocko87]

Nothing hit hard, just tough for Okert. I'd rather give up 3 pias missiles and a run than 3 bloopers and a run against those hitters.

Buck!

Particularly considering they let him face Mookie Betts three times, perhaps the best hitter in the game.

Wanted to make sure his ERA stayed ahead of Tim Melville, circa 2017?

[Twodogs]

I mean yeah why take Ober our with only 68 pitches?  Ober was on fire.

[mrtwinsfan]

Byron, give him a Cape on that play,  Awesome
