Jesus why the Santana hate and/or Kirk love? Neither make sense

[1992casey]

Today's the 29th anniversary of the end of Paul Molitor's 39-game hit streak.

[adambr2]

The Pirates can stop whining any time. Every one of those calls was right.

[yfinn6]

Oh, didn't see that Bob Davidson was in town. Place your bets on who either balks first or gets thrown out first, both Davidson specialties.

[trwi7]

Bill is really annoying with the "you have to ring him up, you can't reward a hitter for taking that pitch." Except the pitch is a ball in the defined strike zone. Close enough doesn't count.

He is very annoying on close pitches. It's either "how do you reward a hitter" or "how can you lay off that?"

[adambr2]

To Give Away To A Good Home:

 

Matt Garza and Kirk Niewenhuis. Must take together.

[jerichoholicninja]

Garza looks a lot more like a vampire than Victor Santos did.

[stalton]

Whenever I think of Balking Bob, I am reminiscent of the time Macha, Dickerson, Duncan and a fan getting the heave ho and the announcers fearing (hopefully kidding) that they were next.

[jerichoholicninja]

For as much crap as we like to give umpires it's amazing how bad the minor league guys are that they bring up.

[yfinn6]

Have yourself an inning, Villar. Crap.

[markedman5]

Villar has the most errors in the major leagues?

[yfinn6]

Ouch.

[markedman5]

Can't hang a slider on 0-2 with the bases loaded.

 

Garza probably had his best stuff all year but all for naught.

[yfinn6]

Man Arcia teed off on that thing.

[pacopete4]

Arcia's first dinger!

[adambr2]

When you have your best stuff of the year and still end up with 5 runs earned in 5 1/3rd, you know you're done.

[markedman5]

Actually none of the runs were earned.....

It went

 

error

error

double

strikeout

 

So should have been 3 outs without a run scoring so all runs are unearned.

[trwi7]

Yes, Brian, keep bringing up how much Freese owned us in the NLCS. That's not annoying at all.

[adambr2]

Shows how much I know. Just got an alert that he gave up a grand slam and figured they were earned. Paying more attention to the Packers.

 

Still, he's not doing enough to be of any interest to anyone.

[markedman5]

My God is Broxton fast

[young guns]

Im always amused when all the runs in a game are scored in the exact same inning for both teams. I wonder what the record is for that because this has to be at least close.

[hawing]

Man. I'm not typically a knee-jerk fan, but had it been up to me last night, Perez would have entered the game after Villar's second error.
