Kelenic tagged that ball. Good to see!

lulz @ Wank watching strike 3 and acting like he got robbed

Then wanker k's looking.. gotta protect the plate with two stikes.

This is what pisses me off more than anything. Yes the umps suck and have all year, but what happened to protecting the plate when close with 2 strikes? We look for too many walks instead of being aggressive within or near the zone. I don't like it. It is a flaw in the 'control the zone' mentality.

Why not Flexen as long relief?

Kirby has been pure trash today. Of course the skip doesn't give a fuck and leaves him in anyway.

Just enough time left for a phantom injury IL stint plus one more outing before game 163 and beyond.

Nope. With this new playoff system, there ARE no more Game 163s. There's a new tie-breaker system they will use to eliminate the one-and-dones that we've had over the decades.

Those watching the orioles and worried about how close they are, They start a 4 game set against the Astros tonight and still have series against NY and Toronto left.

The team to watch is CWS.

Even then it's hard to see how the M's can fall that far back.

Yeah I know, just a habitual turn of phrase. No worries.

Kelenic could be the move of the month. I like his approach today.

 

[AceKeptic]

Torrens replaces Wanker...and not a moment too soon.

 

[Msfann]

Do the players from california teams all get together and share tips on their girly haircuts?

 

[NWinAZ]

How far Andujar has fallen.

 

[WizardHawk]

Frazier for the lead

 

[AceKeptic]

Bullpen better beware. Our bats got plenty PO'd today for a change, so they better work on keeping our lead.

Though some insurance runs wouldn't hurt, either.

Neat story and a Silva reference all in one.

And to be fair, Silva couldn't walk people because he was getting pummeled early and often. He had a 25/9 HR to Walk ratio that year.
