I see we've been acquainted with an old friend this evening, Habe Bawskez -- the Middle Eastern Gas Station attendant. Good at accounting and inventory, bad at pitching.

I think Snell threw one strike that inning.

Good one! I was just going to go with: What the heck s the matter with Vazquez?

Any chance Javy can not allow a run to the top of their order?

It would appear that maybe the Vaz doersn't have it this evening. But, my fear is Ozzie will leave him in there anyway for 7 innings just cause he thinks he needs to

I've never seen a catcher set up as far outside as AJP is doing. I don't understand why you'd do that, it's just going to add to the nibbling.

Seriously, is Hawk making any sense right now about this plan B s***? I am trying to follow, but am just lost.

Ozzie needs to get Javy out of there. I would definitely not let him face Laroche this inning.

I vote for plan N, Hawk is spouting nonsense.

On the bright side, we did get to see his wife on tv tonight.

HAHA, I was thinking the same thing. He's needlessly complicating a simple concept-- when you don't have your best stuff, you'll have to change your approach.

 

I believe he knew it was bulls***, but since his "friend" called him out on it he took the commercial break to come up with something. No one will call him out on it anyway. DJ was just silent, trying to add to the discussion but couldn't do anything.

Boone and Thorty will be huge this series will the Pirates real good lefties.

I missed that.

More Alexei this inning. He is such a welcome addition because he is just a smart player and it seems like we don't have too many "smart" players and I am talking baseball smart.

Toby, get loose!

What has Snell shown Hawk, exactly? That he can still pitch after giving up 5 runs?

 

He hasn't shown me anything except the inordinate amount of foul balls that have shot straight backwards. They're just missing off this scrub.

Hopefully the Rays are about to blow their game wide open.

Wow, Jeff Cox got lucky as hell on that one. And Flash, I couldn't agree with you more. Snell's performance tonight is the worst we've seen all season.

ATTA BOY JOE!

Why would you make the opponent have to make a perfect relay when there's no outs?

Man, Alexei is fantastic!

How much we paying Alexei? Why is Uribe on this team?

Now we have two everyday players hitting over .300 (as long as Alexei remains an everyday player).

A great inning so far.

This guy pitching looks like an idiot.
