Why'd you go all of the way to Virginia to go to the hospital?

Maybe he was IL

[Parfigliano]

Much prefer Jeffers at #3 over leadoff in the lineup 

[USAFChief]

Must have hitch hiked 3X.

All for NM

Gotta go. Granddaughter is starring in a school play. As I understand it, the role of the dancing tree is subtly the key to the entire plot. 

Bring Home #9, ladies and germs. Try the chicken. Remember your wait staff.

[RickOShea]

The way they were carrying on, @ ESPN, you would have thought Trout passed away.

[IndianaTwin]

Like Chief, I had a long drive as well. Got stopped by a cop. After he asked, "Do you know why I stopped you," he kept pestering me to answer. He wouldn't even let me finish my phone call.

[Parfigliano]

Remember when pitchers threw a 2 and 4 seam fastball?  Seems like its all 4 now.  What happened?

[RickOShea]

larnach has a pretty swing, with crappy results.

Is "summer sausage" a regional thing? It makes for great discussion, but it's actually not THAT unhealthy to be handled in the way the team is doing it. As such, I prefer it with cheese and crackers, such as on a charcuterie board. 

"Charcuterie," by the way, is a French word meaning, "Didn't have enough bread for sandwiches." 

I saw someone call a charcuterie board Adult Lunchables the other day and I have retired the word charcuterie from my vocabulary. Mostly.

[Jocko87]

Corey-Michael Soroyka hasn't had a swing and miss since the Clinton administration.

AK-hold my bat.

[stringer bell]

SWR's velo is down a bit. 

[UpstateNewYorker]

Good job by SWR to get out of that jam.

[Aggies7]

That was impressive by SWR

[Aggies7]

Joe Ryan seems to be one of those guys who tries too hard to be quirky

Huh, Larnach DHing, and Kirilloff in LF again.  I had always thought that Larnach was sort of average in the OF.  Not great, not a liability.  Kirilloff I've always considered to be well below average.  Yet this lineup has been the recent trend.  Wondering why...  Is Larnach nursing a minor injury?

Provus mentioned that Larnach is still working through his turf toe injury. One other consideration is that Buxton could run for either Kirilloff or Santana late in the game and then replace him defensively (AK to first if running for Smooth).

[Parfigliano]

Soroyka not having to work at all

Yeah, a lot of bad at bats. 28 pitches by Soroka through three innings.

[Parfigliano]

Bad route Castro

[Schmoeman5]

Castro in CF. 

[Aggies7]

Wow what a relay and tag 

[Linus]

Buck catches that fly ball easily. Defense matters. 

[stringer bell]

Hittable SWR this start.

Prolly easier if he just catches the flyball. Saves the next run. Fantastic play by Correa and Jeffers though.

[CRF]

Great relay throw from CC...as usual, and a helluva tag by Jeffers. A thing of beauty!
