I ended a game with 9 straight strikes and then started the next game with 3 in a row. That counts, right?

Let's keep this thing going. Rays might be one of the only teams I haven't seen played this year. Curious to see how good they are

That was my decision." jon greenberg added, jon greenberg ‏@jon_greenberg 20m20 minutes ago Does anyone really care about this? Agreed 1000%. I can't believe this is even a big deal to some people. I am not a fan of Robin but I have no problem with him taking 3 days off to travel cross country to see a once in a lifetime event for his daughter.

Who the hell cares lol

I haven't commented on this because who cares? Let him go and be with his family on an important day. He shouldn't be worried about catching a flight to go all the way across country to make a game against Tampa

Sale's comments on Flowers a few days ago will cause Flowers to be here forever

Time to sweep the Rays

3 in a row!

Junior. Cough cough

Jose bomb!!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:58 PM) Carlos! All it took was a 70 MPH cookie over the plate lol

Please get another run

Putnam!!

Defense is so comical. How are we winning

Soto bomb!!!!

Got hit hard there but he gets out of it. Good outing Q

Nice catch!

That is 1! can we get 2 more?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:11 PM) What shows you he's a good base stealer? He has consistently failed to steal bases at a satisfactory level from AA up. I don't think he is great but I think he can be average. He is still learning the game and he will learn base running. I think he has the speed to steal bases, he just needs to learn the technique

Quintana battling like usual. Feel bad for him

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:06 PM) He was probably safe today by an inch, which is not enough when you have to steal bases 70+% of the time for it to be worth it. He's 9 for 20 on his career now. Soto is a flyball hitter who is striking out 34% of the time. The chance of a strikeout is higher than a ground ball. That is on Robin for sending him. But it wasn't because Avi isn't a base stealer why he was out at 2nd. I think Avi has the tools to steal 15 bags a year

Oh great, it's up to Emilio who for some reason is hitting 2nd tonight

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:00 PM) I 100% agree. Errors of such a careless nature can't be tolerated. Not to mention, the game is close, and with guys like Sanchez and Alexei on the bench, you can't afford any further plays like the two we've already seen tonight. If that was his 1st throwing error today, maybe I let it slide but that was his 2nd in 5 innings

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:00 PM) It still demonstrates he is simply not fast enough/a good enough baserunner. I'd rather risk the double play than risk the strike 'em out (with a guy who strikes out a lot) and throw 'em out (with a guy who gets thrown out a lot). Not really. He was safe last night and a lot of people say he was safe today. Running to steal and running to stay out of a DP or running for a hit and run are 2 different things

If I was Robin I would take him out after that s***. Put Sanchez in
