98.3 on the hands with your 85th pitch to get out of a jam in the bottom of the 6th.

I’m glass-half-full on Bradley. Just keep running him out there.

It's nice to see. He isn't always dominant but the tools are there. 

[Patzky]

Junior is having a worse day behind the plate than Jen did.

Well maybe not.

[Patzky]

Langeliers and Kurtz both hit their 3Oth HR today for Oaklamento

Buck has no one to challenge him lol.

Really makes me angry. Without her we would have only lost by 7 or 8 runs.

It's not fair.

If you understand the game, you know that once the team finds itself behind by 2.48 runs, batters and pitchers alike start pressing and all of a sudden you drop another 7.52 runs and lose the game by a hair.

Well....he deserves to be considered in the mix for the spring if he pitches his remaining games like today.....

[Patzky]

Whew! Well done Sands

Well momentum doesn't work quite like that. But it is a lot.

I'd be scratching my head trying to get back the 0.52 runs to even the score again

[Patzky]

Didn't Detmers use to be a starter?

Why is McCusker even on the roster even if you aren't going to play him.  Perfect opportunity to pinch hit for Outman and he sits.  And no I am not worried about the defensive alignment.  And as I write this, Outman gets a double but I still stand by my take.

Hmm maybe that is why he's no longer a starter. Tough luck there.

I always hate when Rocco pulls the guy who is having a good game at the plate for a PH. He did it to Pereda in KC too

[Blyleven2011]

Duck on the pond and new pitcher coming in to pitch to buxton , he going to throw a fastball to get ahead , buxton better be ready to send it downtown  ....

[Patzky]

Robert William Stephenson should be writing poetry not throwing HR balls to Buxton.

[ashbury]

Teodosio's defensive stylings in CF just now remind me of a comment on one of the backfields at Ft Myers I was privileged to overhear* one spring training a decade or so ago.  Tom Kelly gave Darin Mastroianni the following pep talk when the latter returned to the dugout bench: "let's try and keep the 360s to a minimum out there."

 

* and retell once or twice a season, LOL

That's his off season job.

I get that but Outman is hitting .157, what has he done to earn the confidence from the manager to hit in that situation other than that Falvey traded for him.  How many times over the last couple of years were Wallner and Larnach yanked in the exact same situation.

Is McCusker even going to see the field, why bring him up.

Can they shift Buck to OF if they do that? Because they could have Ph for Martin too. But then your defense is shot for the rest of the game.

He got an AB last night.

I wasn't clearly awake when I predicted buxton hitting , the angels manager out managed me to walk buxton  , damn ..

[Parfigliano]

Highlight D by Outman.  Can't hit can't field.  

[ashbury]

LOL, Outman returns the favor with an attempt that was perhaps even more difficult but definitely its equal in comedy.

[Patzky]

Welp the missed chances will cost us.

[Peter]

The 2 out runs by other teams need to stop!!! This needs to be fixed next year!!!

[Patzky]

Trout does what needs to be done. Exactly that. Why he's one of the best.
