Well darn.

 

[LHG]

I think this inning would be over if Belt were at 1st base, but hard to say.

 

[tzill]

Whelp, 5.1 with two earnies is about as much as we can expect of the non Webb starts, amirite?

 

[tzill]

No lefties left on the bench...Tie-Row or Posey?

 

[tzill]

STOP HITTING OUR PLAYERS WITH THE BASEBALLS.

 

[tzill]

Curt Casali decided he was hit by a pitch and has awarded himself first base.

NEVER gets old:

 

[LHG]

Curt Casali decided he was hit by a pitch and has awarded himself first base.

And now he is out of the game. Hope he and/or Posey are well enough to play in the next few days. Otherwise, the only catcher that is healthy at AAA is Ronnie Freeman.

Wood is really only good for 1 time through the order. His second time is a bit iffy and his third time through is disastrous.

Clockwork.

His perfect role would be as a long reliever / swing man (thing Petit)

 

[tzill]

G-d bless Kap. He's consistent. LWJ out/Slater in.

 

[calsnowskier]

Looked like Casali was grabbing his groin as he stopped at 3rd. Didn’t look good.

Tromp is up.

 

[tzill]

I regret to inform you that we have a runner at 3b with no outs.

 

[calsnowskier]

Tromp is up.

But if both Posey AND Casali are out, we still need another catcher.

 

[calsnowskier]

I regret to inform you that we have a runner at 3b with no outs.

But in late innings, that is typically a good thing.

If this were the 3rd, forget about it.

We need to recognize that both Yaz and Ruf just showed us some outstanding professional hitting to beat the shift

They each very deliberately and successfully poked hits through the wide open spaces on their opposite fields

 

[tzill]

Nice walk! Upon review, that pitch to Alonzo was not bad.

 

[tzill]

Kaps gotta Kap. Tie-Row in; Tommy Stars out.
