    Great. Santana pinch fails again. I think he struck out with perhaps one pitch actually in the strike zone. Argh. Did Nunez die? Vargas? Make him stop.

    Bert was talking about Rondon being known to walk guys, and that Santana needed to be selective. Sure, that's going to work. I don't mind pinch-hitting for Buxton, but that presumes we actually have a major-league caliber hitter replacing him. You send up someone with a .238 OBP, 5 walks in 267 plate appearances, against a pitcher who throws really hard but has a tendency to walk guys? Molitor's rather sarcastic response aside, saying you need to hit for Buxton is not at all the same thing as saying you need to bring Santana to the plate. If it is, then you need to rethink the situation. Santana this year against RH pitchers? .200 avg, .218 OBP. Buxton's OBP is .284. Nope. I don't get it.

    I saw Santana come to the plate and my thought was "what, we're not even TRYING to win?"

    When I watch Boyer pitch I feel like I'm watching the Flying Wallendas walk between skyscrapers. No confidence at all. Don't we have about 11 rested guys in the pen?

    I lived in the SF Bay area during grad school. The first year it rained a lot, everything was lush, and I thought I had landed in Eden. Then it didn't rain for about 3 years and I felt like I was living in an ashtray.

    Time to knock Simon out of here. This guy's got nothing.
  7. big dog
    That might just be totally beyond something.
  8. big dog
    So Hicks gets what, 7 plate appearances tonight? Hee hee. I love this.
  9. big dog
    You know, I really like close, tight baseball games. But I really like knocking the other team's pitcher out in the second, too. In fact, I like it a lot. Yesterday we let the pitcher make it through the third, but that was Chris Sale so that's understandable.

    Man, I don't know what I want more- one of those Buckaroo suits, or a glitter-finish Telecaster. Getting both just seems like more than I can even dream about. Now I'm a-gonna go listen to "Streets of Bakersfield".

    I went to a Twins game about 3-4 years ago and went into the store at Target Field. Was thinking I'd get my daughter a t-shirt with the name of her favorite player on it. Went up to a clerk and asked if this was all the shirts- he said "who are you looking for?" I said Alexi Casilla. He looked at me like I was nuts. He said something like "we only carry shirts for the popular players". I went with the Mauer shirt. My daughter assured me she thought Alexi was cute, but she would much rather wear a Mauer shirt to a game. So that worked out.

    I would absolutely call him up. Don't understand why the Twins haven't.

    Nice shot by the Doze. Meanwhile, if the ball doesn't bounce when Keuchel pitches it, it's a strike. If it does bounce, odds are the ump will say the batter swung. Or maybe I'm biased. But I doubt it.
  14. big dog
    That was some hellacious outfield play last night. Looking forward to seeing it continue.
  15. big dog
    I think it's fair to have concern about every single newly-drafted pitcher in every organization making it as a starter, or as a major leaguer. Why pick on him?
  16. big dog
    OK, restarting the heart now. Big win.
  17. big dog
    Well, he seems resigned to the Sox losing another one, especially with fielding errors in the 8th.
  18. big dog
    Wow, then Bux scores on what was practically an infield popup. I live in Chicago and am forced to watch on TV. Hawk and Stone are drooling over Buxton.
  19. big dog
    Not to complain, but how did Buxton not score on a deep single to right center? I expected him to cross the plate about two feet behind Suzuki.
  20. big dog
    Here's the telecast: {Crack}...crowd roars...silence..."dadgummit"...sound of shuffling papers, door closing. Fade to commercial.
  21. big dog
    I'm having a hard time working through my picks for September adds. The whole idea that we are actually trying to make the playoffs is throwing me off. What a nice change.
  22. big dog
    Geez. I'll take it. But geez.
  23. big dog
    OK, even May isn't bulletproof. I blame O'Rourke. Send him to Rochester, just on the principle of the thing. Now. Lift the curse.
  24. big dog
    Ryan O'Rourke, please see Mr. Molitor before you leave the clubhouse. Or Hey Ryan, Skip wants to talk to you. One or the other, please.
  25. big dog
    Let's go, Ervin, let's just finish this inning off. -- really nicely done. Must feel good to get a standing O walking off the field after his last month of baseball.
