If we win today, it's called "two in a row." And if we win again tomorrow, it's called "a winning streak."

[Parfigliano]

I want a "winning streak"

[CRF]

We should've had the "two in a row" already. 

[Craig Arko]

In Bailey we trust. For at least six, anyway.

Maybe they need a hot chick on a cardboard cutout to pull pieces off? Or Joe Mauer?

12 would be just super! can we do that again?? That's probably illegal.

Anyone seen/heard anything on Miranda? He hasn’t played since Saturday.

He is starting at third today.

The pinch hitting streak will not be continued today for Margot, maybe Rocco is trying to let him break the record at home.

While I hope Margot goes 4 -4 tonight, it is disheartening to see him starting against a right handed pitcher, and a good one in Bibee with pretty severe platoon splits at that.  I guess Larnach is so dinged up that playing left field is out of the question, and there simply are no other outfielders left.

On the bright side, Correa is back as well as Miranda.  No Buxton though.

Good we don't need to do a welfare check.

This is where we need Kiersey up here instead of in St. Paul.

[John Kelsey]

I mean, the simple answer is that Buxton should be playing. 

[USAFChief]

Laudner fillibustering on the pregame for leaving Wallner in games instead of yanking him at the first sign of a LH reliever.

Preach!

I guess he doesn't want to come back for television work next year.

[jkcarew]

Personally…I can’t wait to see Emmy and Jenkins platooned.

Rocco’s brilliant. Just think of what Barry Bonds numbers would have been if his managers had had the foresight to platoon him!

[mrmpls]

Craig Kimbrel designated for assignment by O's

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A lead.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Infield hits with runners in scoring position?

 

Is that a thing?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Infield fly rule.

Does that count as a true outcome?

Well…someone that used to be Craig Kimbrel anyway.

He’d cost for a week about what Jax has cost for the season.

[Western SD Fan]

Good things happen when you put the ball in play.

[CRF]

Only getting 1 run here...is a damn shame, but typical. 

[USAFChief]

One run out of that is disappointing. 

 

[exeoud]

Should have gotten more than 1 there. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And Santana needs to stop being so inconsistent. He's either hot or ice cold.
