Its nice to hear the Edgar chant going during games again.

 

[Itsmytime]

Wow look at this

 

[johnfree63]

Don't know why you go and get Walker there but hopefully it works. I probably see if he can finish the inning.

 

[Anointed One]

Why did he take Walker out w/ just 95 pitches? Let him finish the inning for pete's sake... He's on fire...

 

[johnfree63]

The Rodney Experience coming in? So much for low leverage situations.

 

[EVille3]

Walker was none too happy about it either...I assume he was feeling pretty good

 

[Itsmytime]

Clearly things were going way to well for LMC's liking

 

[Anointed One]

Well, at least he's not bringing the bartender in...

 

[Itsmytime]

Oh, not going to lie here. But that was shocking

 

[EVille3]

worst bunting team in the league...

 

[Anointed One]

??? 1st pitch from Lowe was a strike... This ump has not been consistent...

 

[Anointed One]

Whew... Just foul...

 

[Anointed One]

Ugh... Blowpen is in session...

 

[johnfree63]

Interesting going to Smith in the 8th. Think they'll let him go 1 1/3?

 

[Anointed One]

Man... It's exhausting watching Zunino strikeout as much as he does...

He has 30 hits and 81 strikeouts this season...

 

[Anointed One]

All in all... 2 straight home games and we've scored over 5 runs... Are things looking up?

I personally need a sample size of at least 10 games before I can say they're turning a corner... Blowers is all in already... LOL...

 

[Anointed One]

Great job by Walker and then C. Smith to close out the game... again...

M's win the series... Another "W" tomorrow would bring us w/in 6.5

 

[NWinAZ]

This is the one time I will say that just winning the series isn't enough. I think the pressure is on us tomorrow because a win means we gained 3 games in 3 days, but a loss means we gained 1 game in 3 days and we already wasted so many games this year we need every one to count from here on out.

 

[Cloud]

Maybe now this team is starting to turn their shit around. This is the type of pitching from the starters we've expected all season. Taking the series from the Astros is huge.
