Yes. He threw a pitch, pointed to his left shoulder, and Terry and the trainer got him out of the game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We'll see him next May.

damn

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Well, Duda doesn't catch that one.

[smg58]

Young put his speed to good use there.

[smg58]

And suddenly, the ball is carrying in our favor.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

A big Brown stain on the scorebook!

[Zvon]

BROWN GOES DOWNTOWN!

I just came in from mowing the lawn. Three runs on 10 hits through four? How have we contained the damage that much? Triple plays?

[Zvon]

Wright with a line single in the 5th. He's seeing the ball well tonight.

BJ Upton has been up a lot with men on.

[Zvon]

Hawkins on to pitch. This could become a fringe event. Prepare the amber.

What else is new..

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Simmons hit one that sounded like he was swinging a mop handle and it went to the track in left-center. The ball is definitely carrying tonight.

I want so bad for Wright to have his first 3 HR game. Sooooooo, since I want that and I said that, it won't happen.

With the current parameters he's scheduled for ~ infinity more AB, so I have faith he'll get it.

BIG K LaTroy!

You know, it's actually a little insulting how pissed Freeman was after he struck out. It's not like that was a huge opportunity--two outs, runner on first. It's like he thought Hawkins had no business striking out the mighty Freddie Freeman. A little pissed I'd understand, but he broke his damn bat over his knee.

He's a douch of Harvinian proportions.

[Frayed Knot]

Q almost has a Ruben Tejada AB.
He fought back from 0-2, fouling a bunch of pitches off, until getting to a full count. The only thing he did wrong was hit a double when it was all over instead of popping out.

[Frayed Knot]

Breathe deep, the gathering doom Mike Minor.
(see what I did there?)

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Great point, DJ. A little Paul O'Neill in him.

Meanwhile, back-to-back opposite field doubles by Q and The Man With Bill Berry's Eyebrows. 4-3 Metsies.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Crappy AB for Young there.

[Frayed Knot]

We're advancing runners in the wrong direction.

[Zvon]

Baseball 101 Satin.

Small sample so far but Young bunts 100% of the time when I don't want him to, and doesn't bunt in 100% of all situations where he shoulda.

If they got Satin to 3rd he might have scored on that soft grounder.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We need the Lyon to roar here.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And he fucking walks the first fucker he fucking faces.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Looks like Teufel has taught Murphy how to cheat around second on the DP turn.
