"Oh he looks like a rocker."

[snepp]

Bullet dodged.

[Darius]

Phil reaches back and hits 89 to get out of the inning.

 

Seriously though, I've been waiting for Phil to implode, and it's just not happening. Maybe I'm not giving the guy enough credit.

[Squirrel]

I'm curious why Kepler gets the CF call before Rosario? I always thought Rosario was better out there, or maybe not?

[yarnivek1972]

Last hitter for Hughes.

Not necesarily. He's only at 85 pitches. Bottom of order is due up. I'd send him back out. He's no more likely to fail than Rogers, Belisle or Pressly IMO.

[stringer bell]

Nice job Hughes!

[twinssporto]

Way to go Max!!

si.

No forgiveness for the loss of the GH - you arrogant prick!

It's a great question.  Would love to be a fly on the wall when the coaches discuss this.

Morris on color makes me appreciate Bert more.

Guessing it might have something to do with where Grossman plays.

Someone want to parrot the company line on why Castro started tonight with a lefty on the mound and a day game tomorrow?

Framing.

[USAFChief]

 

Rapido?

Arriba Macintire.

[Deduno Abides]

Nothing says, "My bullpen sucks," like a manager sending Hughes out for the seventh.

[yarnivek1972]

Not sure I want to risk Hughes vs Pedroia for a 4th time.

[twinssporto]

Sano does have an arm.  I wonder how well he pitches?

[yarnivek1972]

Don't go there again

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nice outing by Phil. Let's get the job done now, Taylor/Matt/Brandon.

"When I go to Starbucks, I get a double latte."

 

 

He pitches like a pro.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I liked how Hughes got Bradley Jr to chase on 3-2, .... Pedroia cooked him though

[USAFChief]

Professional outing by Mr Phil Hughes-zee.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

One more curve .......

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Didn't bite

[USAFChief]

Alright...in play, run(s) please.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Fourth curve to Benintendi, easy fly to right. Inning over. Gorgeous pitching.

[ashbury]

I'm reminded today of my good friend Jose, who I play a lot of golf with.  I asked him one day if I could have his sand wedge and he gave me a ham and cheese.

I'm surprised you didn't mention he has a twin brother. JosB.

[Blake]

 

I thought it was a good Nishioka impersonation, though.


Glad Dozier is ok!

Yeah, for now. In the morning? Mr. Dozier might not be a very happy camper.
