Jake

Chips are falling for Gordon.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 03:35 PM) When has he been "off track"? Had a wild start last time out, he did finish well though. Nice to see him come out and just pound the strike zone today

That was a fantastic at bat

Time for Nate to get back on track.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 03:32 PM) Ha, who would have ever thought those words would be written about Rios?

Rios needs to stop losing his mind over every out...he's on fire right now for christ's sake

I really don't think Gavin lacks toughness. He's just very inconsistent.

That should be it for Gavin

Hawk with a loose definition of "contagion"

I've never seen anything like this

Tough play. Can't tell if McEwing didn't stop him in time.

Good job Gavin. This could be a good outing yet

Great call by Paulie, T-Flow had no idea where that was

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) Anyone see the clubhouse interview with PK and his kids yesterday? Pretty awesome, you don't usually get to see that side of him. Is it online someplace?

NEVER FORGET

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) PITCH FROM THE WIND-UP! Taboo when you are trying for a DP

WOOHOO GAVIN

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Brantley just kills us with grounders in that same spot. Don't hit the batter and Gordon is aligned to field it

f*** me with the soft hits

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:31 PM) Neither did I. I thought you could only slide when you are within reach of the bag. No? this rule applies to how far you are sideways to the bag, ie. defining the baseline

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) I didn't know you're allowed to slide 15 feet in front of the bag. You can slide at that time as long as you don't leave the baseline. It improves everyone's safety that way.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:10 PM) Hell, maybe it motivated Gavin last inning. I know Gavin rocks that kind of "Jay Cutler" demeanor, but I really don't think there's a motivation issue. He's just inconsistent

QUOTE (fathom @ May 27, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) Well, time for Stewart to get up again. I know you have to, but it stinks because he hasn't pitched that poorly this inning

That's the trouble with relying on your curve to get lefties out. When you miss by a few inches, it hits his back foot.

Cue the "bench O-Dog" thread
