IGT, 8/10, Wheeling Through the Desert

[Edgy MD]

Maybe this Pennington guy can QB for the Jets.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's quite quite, this Pennington, is he not?

[Zvon]

Tit for tat as Buck lines out to a diving shortstop. That was a nice play by Buck last inning.
Are two runs gonna be enough? Can the pen continue to be as good as they've been? Wheeler up to 93 pitches.

That was one of the worst examples of running it out I ever hope to see, Wheels.

Jeez, what'd I miss?

Wheeler not showing anything flashy but always able to get out of possible jams with relative ease.

Gary gave a shout out to G on the air.

What does that mean? That apropos of nothing, Gary suddenly shouted out Prince's name Lloyd Lindsay Young style?

[Edgy MD]

Wheeler hung that baby.

[Zvon]

Gah. Young jumped into the wall.
2-1

Yes. It was very odd.




No,
lol, he quoted him.

[batmagadanleadoff]

As soon as I start Wheeler's K corner, they go and yank him.

[Zvon]

Need two Rice.

Bunt?

[Edgy MD]

Too much plate again. Harvey's a bad influence on these guys.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe. Still, I'd rather they give up a million potential bleeders than a half-million walks.

[metirish]

Keith is exasperated with the squeeze being put on.

[Edgy MD]

Big whiff of Pennington.

[Zvon]

Man, his own team must think Pennington sucks bad. And look, he does! Rice Ks him (after much work).

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Maybe Pennington's not quite that quite.

In general, I agree.

Oh, here comes a walk.

[Zvon]

Pen don't fail me now.

Bases all slimy for Eaton. Two out.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pitched around Pollock there like he was Fatty Toro.

OE: And I guess it ended up working.

[Zvon]

Well, it worked.
2-1 after seven.

[Edgy MD]

[Zvon]

Ha! Prado who usually doesn't suck vs. us, sucks vs. us.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ol' Laggy just keeps on forcing his way into our hearts, don't he?

(And as I type that, Eaton in center does a Lagares-quality job tracking down Murph's laser to center.)

Heads up by Young to tag.

[Edgy MD]

Heads down by Laggy to not.

Two outs. That's OK, Davis is up.... NOPE, they fear him too much and he gets the free base.

GO WILMER!
