Julien gets it done.  Always seems to require holding my breath.  But it wasn't the easiest of plays and he did it.

Nice play Julien.

It was.  Another way of saying my previous comment, I was prepared for this play not to be made, and he exceeded that expectation.  Maybe it's time I raise my expectation.

[Tlaker]

Winner

Major Reisman would be very proud! I think our 12 is a little cleaner. Way to go guys!

winnah!

Hey. Why not Sands? I doubt he'll get too many opportunities like today. And that's a wrap.

Why Sands? Jax only threw nine pitches yesterday.

No worries!

Santana!  Time for a contract extension?

[Danchat]

I had Sands making the team as a long reliever a month and a half ago... and now he is closing a close game in the 9th inning. Crazy turnaround for him!

[Squirrel]

Wooohooo! History made! Double blizzard dinner night!

[Aggies7]

One more and we’ll have a Scott Baker’s dozen

[ashbury]

Dinner is served!

I’m still not trusting of it, though. If he continues to pitch like this through the season, I will say he’s turned a corner for this season

I got the correct spelling drilled into me as a Physics major.

(Two Wien bridges, for you liberal arts majors.)

Well, duh. Donuts are always good, but this would have been a more appropriate picture for today. Two hours until post time.

When the streak reaches 24, supply both.

Is my count off? Or is that a bakers dozen. I like it. And a full day in advance.

Oops. Google let me down (like that's never happened before).

So yeah, let's call it predictive.

I’ll go with predictive, but hope you are working on an anti-jinx charm just in case
