Dammit. We couldn't have hung a 3-spot on Hidden Owie there, just for old-times' sake?

Sure. But without the double switch Turner would simply be PH-ing there and the result would be the same.
So unless Terry is planning on using Pedro to start off the 9th inning (which he isn't) our manager was guilty of premature switch-ulation.

[Zvon]

Hawkins on for the save. Gary calls him a reluctant closer. I like Hawk. Hope he does well.

[Frayed Knot]

Three-run/one-inning saves have been converted in 233 of 239 opportunities this season.
The Rays' Fernando Rodney blew the 6th one of the year last night against the Dodgers (giving up 4 to lose the game on his own error).

IOW, Odds are in LaTroy's favor

[Edgy MD]

EY in his no-triples defense.

He's there in the 1st inning.

GJ Hawkman. Good game!


Hey Phils, how does our ass look?

[Edgy MD]

I'm concerning myself with the Nationals' ass, two steps in front. Help us tomorrow, Phils!

Phils have to be the coldest squad in baseball.

[Edgy MD]

Meanwhile, coming up: Dodgers, Padres, Braves, and Tigers, or the four of the hottest teams in baseball, along with the Royals.

I prefer to take them in pairs, or groups. But that's how I roll, YMMV.

[Centerfield]

What a fantastic win. Wheeler pitching well, getting production from Lagares and Flores. I know it's just one game, but I left went to bed yesterday thinking these guys could be great for us for a long time. Plus Ike is hitting.

Today, I feel like I can beat up Jeff Manship.

Wilmer has more RBI than A-Rod and Jeter combined!

Ike needs to start showing some power if he wants to be Met tendered for 2014..

[Edgy MD]

He wants to keep walking and doubling at this pace the rest of the year, I'm fine with that.

[Zvon]

Qs great DP from last night.
