I stopped reading after the 1st sentence. I could only think that any understanding I gained from reading this could leave me permanently scarred . . . for-ev-er.
Eddie "Big Game" Rosario. That pitch he hit in the 10th to score Cave was a foot outside but he slapped it into CF. This is what an RBI guy does; recognize a pitch he can do something with . . . and do it. Then steals 2B. Wow, we actually manufactured a run. That was a tough error on Sano. You could see that he was stretched out and his weight was carrying him backwards making it hard to squeeze the mitt on Duffy's poor throw. We're half a game back boys.
Entertaining manager, entertaining person. We had a great run with Gardy at the helm, just wish we could of had a little more post season success. Our battles with Ozzie Guillen's White Sox were epic. Thank you Mr. Gardenhire, and God bless you.
Hopefully we can add some Garv sauce to the batting stew. C'mon buddy, burn that lot of no-hit bats somebody snuck in on ya and find some sweet swingin' lumber this last week.
All true, but do you trust Rogers for the rest of the year being able to close out close games? Something is off with him this year and I have to believe his confidence is a bit shaken. I'd give May a shot. I guess if we draw the Yankees in the playoffs its all moot anyways based on past performance (or lack of).
Trevor May - nice 9th inning 1-2-3, K-K-K. That last pitch to Abreu was at 99 mph. He was throwin' gas. I think I roll with May as the closer to finish the year. Clippard and Duffy are just too good in the middle of the game. Serge is good at dishin' slop, but May has been groomin' for the closer roll for a few years now. Let him loose.
Count me in as a Wade Jr. fan. One thing I'm impressed with is how well prepared the rookies have looked when called up. Really a bummer about Rooker breaking his forearm; he just didn't get out of the way of the pitch enough.
