Who would have imagined that Sheffield would be getting more regular playing time than either Church or Murphy?

"Heh... me."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Flerg. 1-0. (I'm not saying that's because he went 1-0 on 4 of the first 5 hitters, but it may not be unrelated.)

[Zvon]

What was that all about? It didn't look like he stumbled or anything.
He just held on to the ball.

Damn. 2 out rbi single by Molina.

That's a costly balk.

[Zvon]

Take the walk Santos.

[Zvon]

Woot.
Cain walks the bases loaded and there are no outs.
We gotta at least tie it here.

[Zvon]

aww shit. Home to first DP.

Go on, walk Pelf Cain....

[Zvon]

gah

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Flerg.

Opportunity's been knocking on the front, side and back doors, and this lineup is suddenly social-phobic.

Your right but it's early yet.

Joe Morgan is a flerg.

[nymr83]

You thought Joe Morgan was bad? Steve fucking Phillips is in the booth with him.

Tatis has replaced Cora at SS, what happened???

[Zvon]

Cora out?
Tatis at short?

uh oh.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Have we seen Tatis at short before?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Zvon wrote: Cora out? Tatis at short? uh oh.

This disturbs in at least three ways.

And no. No, we have not.

[Zvon]

No word on why yet.

Pelfrey ends the 3rd with some high cheese.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Thumb injury?

(As per Yahoo! box score.)

[Zvon]

Maybe they took him out cause so many people think he sucks.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

BBref says that Tatis has played a total of eight innings at short in his career.

In 1998.

Uh oh is right.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

After the Murphy at-bat, Cain is at 80 pitches exactly.

[Zvon]

Flergiefloog.

[metirish]

Phillips looks like George Hamilton with his bottle tan.....

[Zvon]

Jeeze Joe, where did Johnny Bench bat?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not like we're losing a helluva defensive shortstop anyhow.

How awesome is Tatis, anyway?

Hint: when watching Sunday Night Baseball and not in a bar/restaurant, hit "mute" and put on the music of your choice. Fewer headaches.

The man has logged time at every position this year except center, catcher, and his primary position.

Goodness, does he ever even take a breath? STOP TALKING, JOE!!

The shame is that Jon Miller really is good, and he can't get a word in edgewise.

Then again, his yellow shirt and yellow tie combo is just not working.

And I think he was down in Triple-A for us a whole year without sniffing a call-up.
