At least he kept us out of the DP to give Dunn a shot.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 03:39 PM) I think you may be right, given that he didn't wait an instant to get out of the box I think he probably went too far regardless, but he wasn't going to risk it being called in his favor once he saw the ball go by so when he took off he finished the swing a bit to make it more certain.

Rios didn't have much for that heater.

WOW Alexei. He was going to pull back but finished his swing when he knew he could get the base. Very smart and yes I'm giving him credit for that.

Nice that they can't get De Aza and Dunn with the same reliever anymore.

Damn was that close! Even Gordon thought it was gone

Great job, one more guy Matt

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 03:08 PM) How horrible has defense been this season? 7E in 6 games. Very odd, not something you like seeing out of the gate since you don't normally think of defense as something that goes in fits and starts like hitting and pitching.

Good piece of woodwork by Morales. Get us a DP ball here Lindstrom and you'll be my hero.

Rare goof by Gordon. T Flow almost made a real heads up play with Lindstrom

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) I will agree Rios has become one of the better hitters in the league. He has become very consistent. He looks so comfortable at the plate. Beautiful HR. And to think I despised him at one time. Let's win this game. We're playing a lot of close games again this year. Let's win 3/4s of the one-run games. I think you were right to despise him way back when. He was making a lot of guaranteed money and had one of the worst seasons ever. On top of it, it seemed to have gotten into his head so much that his effort/focus weren't there while it was going on. He has totally changed ALL of that.

Paulie from the Keppinger school of hitting and the Manny school of hustle

Tough break for Dunn. To my eye, he looks a lot better this year. I expect fewer walks based on his current approach, so here's hoping he gets some more hits to make up for it.

HIS NAME IS RIOS

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) Big bats coming up, let's take the lead here. QS for Chris, should be it for him? I think so, he's dodged enough bullets for today IMO

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 02:52 PM) Yep, velocity has been fine. I do miss those days when he'd throw an odd 100 mph pitch here and there. I guess I'll settle for an ace, though

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 7, 2013 -> 02:50 PM) sale not that sharp, and his FB is topping out at like 91, dead arm? I've seen him hit 93 several times and 94 at least once. This is his normal speed.

Hot damn TANK!

Always thought these unis would look better with blue undersleeves.
