It’s me writing you a letter on July 31st. Can the pigeon make another flight back here without dying?

So how do you make it a strongly worded letter on that thing?

Adams striking out the side wasn't on my bingo card.

Batting practice for the Rangers, now?

Wow. All-star votes. Must be responding to all that pressure, tonight.

It's a Snapper Mow 'Em Down inning for Travis Adams! Congratulations Phil from Plymouth!

[Patzky]

Aww don't make Fedko get his first hit off a catcher..

[thelanges5]

No one wins when the position players are pitching. Can’t stand this part of the game.

Out of our choices to put into the game that needed the work.  For me, Adams was the best one.  Otherwise, it was either Laweryson or Lawrence.  Adams potentially has a future with the team.  The others don't.

Official scorers are just to generous for my taste in todays game ...

Clemens double was definitely an error ...

I'll take the hit but still , defense made an error  ...

Amen  it was in his glove , which he turned the wrong way  ,  alot of agents will argue to front offices at contract time ,  -crazy

[MMMordabito]

Yes, Trevor, it is embarrassing for baseball.

[thelanges5]

Saints have scored 21 runs now. Yikes

The only thing I will say is that it’s nice that it’s not us sending one out this time.

Bet they still have a real pitcher going against them…

[lecroy24fan]

Trevor is correct that he is the greatest hitter vs position players. His walkoff off of Kike Hernandez was great.

None, not even one little letter??

Shelton should never had let this Fedko at bat happen. Classless of him.

Caserta, please stop saying RBI as rib-y…

Has been for a decade if not more. Since the day group think decided position players aren’t allowed to throw anything but lob balls.

After the strikeout swinging and the strikeout looking, I was hoping for something more exotic like dropped third strike and putout by the first baseman.

[Blyleven2011]

Rbi's do matter to a player when it's his first rbi in the majors

He was put in before the inning though.

No, but the RBI is a consolation prize.

What was your move instead?  Leave Buxton in to bat again in a blowout?

It was Genesis Cabrera in the 7th. 8th yet to be determined.

Is it better that he couldn’t even get a hit off a catcher? No win situation to be in. Thank Shelton. 

[thelanges5]

Gray 0-5, only starter without a hit tonight.

He was already out of the game anyways.

Pinch hit for him. He had already replaced Buxton.

He came in the bottom of the 8th as a defensive replacement.  Would you expect Shelton to pinch hit for him knowing there is still a bottom of the 9th?

[thelanges5]

Jenkins with another homer for Cedar Rapids. That’s pretty neat.
