Nice that we're not seeing Greinke, the guy originally scheduled for Sunday.
I think the DBacks manager is fraidy scared of Thor.

Let's get this one (even though it's Sunday) and with the Marlins coming into town, it's time to get on a roll (perhaps a bulky roll!).

Where the hell is Mesoraco?

Backup catchers tend to play in day games after night games.

[Edgy MD]

Good eye, Nimms. Don't listen to that chump.

This is the last team in baseball that can afford to bench a guy that's hitting a homer every other game. And he's crushing those homers, to boot.

When did Clay Buchholz become unhittable?

[Frayed Knot]

With 18 games in the next 17 days, backup catchers are going to play.

When the blue and orange became his opponent.

[Edgy MD]

Seems like we're damn close to getting to this guy. Nido almost went yard.

[Centerfield]

This is a shit lineup.

Especially when you are already starting a minor leaguer at 2B and the backup catcher is also a minor leaguer (and you are playing a plus .500 team today and the Marlins tomorrow).

[Edgy MD]

How can they blow two pickoffs in two games?

Stay on the base, Rosario.

[Frayed Knot]

I think Keith (and, maybe to a slightly lesser degree, Ron) might blame infield shifts as the cause for global warming, poor hygiene, and middle east unrest.

[bmfc1]

I hope that Dave Eiland was pleased with Noah today.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hey! He made it seven! Barely!

[Edgy MD]

Cool, scenes from the 1969 clubhouse!

And he wound up at 102 pitches which is a shade under where you'd like to be thru 7 (7 x 15 = 105).
It's just a shame he wasted all those throws early in the game to where he needed the quick innings just to get back down to average.

[Edgy MD]

Fuck and yes.

Asdrubal = All-Star

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rosie!

[bmfc1]

Just like I've been saying--patience is needed on Rosario.

Edgy MD wrote: Asdrubal = All-Star

Definitely.

[Frayed Knot]

Rosario off de la Rosa - can anything else smell so sweet?

[bmfc1]

Nice job by the SNY cameraman to stay with Mesoraco yesterday and Cabrera today to capture their reactions to their no-doubt home runs.

[Frayed Knot]

At the same time, I like that Rosario didn't take it for granted that his (2nd HR) was gone and instead busted it out of the box with a possible triple in mind if it stayed in the park.

[Edgy MD]

Uh-oh. "Piano Man."

[Edgy MD]

Gsellie pitched swellie on the tellie.
