When have you ever seen a ninth-inning like that? Unbelievable!!! Huge walk by Z.

To be fair...he is generally well thought of.

Me too...I have no bias.

Wow!!! What a great job of pitching with our backs up against the wall.

Congratulations!

Money is as good as in the bank.

Lynn makes me feel like a professional lipreader.

We should frame this and hang it on Tony's wall.

The team voted to visit the Mall of America...just a guess.

I have never understood why so many managers like using a Sunday lineup approach. A team has bench players throughout the season filling in for the regulars as needed. They get playing time in blowouts and game situations like pitch hitting and running along with defensive substitutions. When a regular needs a day or two off...give it to him. These lineups that feature 3 or 4 regulars out at one time are like forfeiting the game.

He is a five-tool player. I love when he is on the field.

Pressure or lack of it is a real thing.

Vaughn belongs in the everyday lineup somewhere. He can be plugged into any one of four positions.

It's the A-team lineup. Looks like TL wants to win this one.

Let's not forget Andrew Vaughn. He's not exactly a walk in the park either.

I agree that Jose should sit more. His age would dictate him needing it more than AV.

Great if Lopez can become something when most felt he was a lost cause. Wouldn't be the first former starter to make it big in relief.

RH has always been good at finding creative ways to come at contract negotiations.

Adequate or OK...some people never use a simple word when a more complex one is available.

The backup players keep getting the job done. Some of the regulars...not so much. I do like the versatility that Vaughn has been developing as it really helps in these NL games.

I was just wondering to myself what Zavala would want for those 3 balls. I'll bet he wouldn't take $10,000. It's his piece of immortality.

I agree. TLR has been wise to not push Vaughn faster with such limited experience ...but now is the time IMO.

He started Gio instead of TBA.

Nice segue.

Better take out the patent before someone steals your idea.
