Gonna need 5 innings from him. 

They need 7.  Hope they get 5.

Another should have been BB to Correa. Umps…

I always wonder what the ump is thinking in a 3-0 count, where the pitcher wasn't close at all on any of the pitches, and the guy gets closer, but still outside by a couple inches --- "well alright. that's better. close enough I guess" or something? I think he just gets tired of calling balls or something. It's a pisser, though.

Miranda just assumed he was going to do it again, too!

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

cycle watch?

[RickOShea]

what determines a tape measure  homerun versus a ruler, or yardstick homerun?

[h2oface]

Miranda didn't look like he would make it home after he came around third. Gassed already.

I was responding to the comment on the last Correa at bat.

[USAFChief]

Speaking of nicknames, there's been some great sports ones.

Some of my favorites:

Charles Barkely..."The Round Mound of Rebound"

Bartolo Colon: "Big Sexy"

Charlie "Piano Legs" Hickman

Pablo Sandoval "Kung Fu Panda."

Is it me, or does it seem Miranda just doesn't have much finishing speed going from home to first?

What I was going to say. His face when they cut to him was pretty funny.

Right, Miranda paused on his 3-0 walk because he thought the ump was going to call a very similar strike, but thankfully he didn't this time.

The fishing jacket. And “the bomba squad”. Giving yourself a nickname never works. Ask Constanza

I wasn't sure he'd make it

There's that Julienne defensive improvement someone commented on, earlier.

That sliding backhand play is about the only real weakness left in his game. He should have let Carlos field the other ball. 

[UpstateNewYorker]

Perfect bunt. It's a lost art.

[Schmoeman5]

Funderburk hatless. Looked like Vlad the Impaler. Or professor Snape.

Nelson Cruz's regal robe was fine! I don't think they gave themselves Bomba Squad. I can't remember which player called a homer a bomba, but the press started it after they heard the clip or something. I liked the Bomba Squad. The fishing jacket and rod and reel was tired from the get go. Thankfully it is over.

When did we add Jennifer Connelly to our bullpen?

Now I’d pay to see that

4 inches off the plate for Paddack. Strike. I hate bad calls no matter who they go to.

[Schmoeman5]

Kiriloff saved Eddie there

[Aggies7]

What a defensive play all around
