This would be a really nice time for Yoan to snap out of the BS and run into one. 

Won’t happen as long as the pitcher continues to get strikes called on pitches that miss by 4”

Sorry that pitch was low 

Come Yolmer, hit a homer!

He swung though. Nasty pitch, but he's still doing a very poor job of picking up anything offspeed.

Not what I had in mind but that'll do!

The second strike was considerably outside.  This umpiring pattern with Moncada in particular is becoming bizarre.

Looks like Lopez gave up nine hits; how did he pitch? Only 3 runs.

Three called tonight that were out of the zone

He didn't have good stuff. He battled and found a way to keep his team in the game. His velo went to shit late.....I like these type of games to see what a player is made of...how do you handle not having your best stuff.

Interesting. Thanks for the report on Lopez's game tonite.

I'm starting to think Palka may not win a gold glove

Can you say gaping hole in the bullpen?

Minaya in a tie game in the 8th?  Ricky must have got the call to try and lose

Lopez has been pitching kind of, bend but don't break, lately. I think it shows he's learning how to pitch through trouble. As you pointed out he had alot of hits but aside from one inning he was able to pitch out of trouble and without his best stuff tonight.

LOL...he's atrocious with a piece of leather in his hand. 

Retired 13 guys this year, walked 11. No idea why in the world they called him back up.

Damn. Relievers need to throw strikes Minaya.

This wasnt predictable...should have left Rondon out there longer.  it's not 2011 Victor Martinez anymore.

Or let Jace start the inning, regardless of who was up

Omar got away with a very stupid play

Sorry Narvaez but you ain't no Benito Santiago.

Geezus. What a laugh. Tell me again why this scrub Manaya is in this game?  

Ugh bad defense strikes again. Two straight games where Ricky is lucky wins don't matter, as his decision making sucks.

Bad defense is par for the course. Manaya is terrible. Not sure why we see him in a tie game.
