August 8, 20179 yr Pressly with a one run lead... I know he's had some good outings, but I just can't trust him to hold this lead. Crossing my fingers...
August 8, 20179 yr It's just too bad that happened in the 7th rather than the 9th. I don't remember ever seeing a "balk-off" win!Not the Twins, but the Padres had one last season: https://youtu.be/KLwtPDdOTwg?t=36
August 8, 20179 yr I thought he was going to try and steal home for sure. He could have gotten a 40 foot leadoff.More like a 60-foot leadoff.
August 8, 20179 yr Geez, they battle back, get a lead, then Molly waves the white flag with Pressly in the 8th. What th.....? Looks like another game we'll have to try to win in spite of the Mgr. Edit: Whewwwwww.... it worked out anyway, thanks to a couple of at-em balls.
August 8, 20179 yr More like a 60-foot leadoff. I'm pretty sure he was rooting around in the catcher's pockets and giving the home plate ump a hotfoot while waiting on the pitch.
August 8, 20179 yr Haha that's pretty great with the pitcher checking the nonexistent runners on base
August 8, 20179 yr Ha, was about to say Rosario should steal home. Then he fakes it and pitcher balks. I've watched the replay about a dozen times. The 3B ump, the HP ump, Rosario and Glynn all point to Drake and Smalley says BALK at the exact same time. Everybody including Drake knew it. What a great play by Rosario!

August 8, 20179 yr You know, it was kinda funny seeing the pitcher trying to hold the phantom runners. But with the three errors tonight, I'm not sure we should make too much fun of fundamentals.
August 8, 20179 yr At Bat wasn't working earlier, and them I was on the phone for some time so I missed a ton. I come back, and the team is leading and Pressly does a great job after a BB. I hate to be accused or rose colored glasses...but...i really like this team! Even with the holes this team has, even with the poor west coast trip they had, they still aren't quitting. Unless my memory is just GONE...and it's possible...they were in most games. Despite reality staring them in the face, despite the trades that were unpopular with the team, despite holes that have to be addressed and young kids who need to keep improving, I still see a team with potential that refuses to quit. I like that. I like this team and it's potential. Now come on Belisle!

Everybody including Drake knew it. What a great play by Rosario!LOVE Rosario's potential and instincts. If he can just reign it all in a bit.....
August 8, 20179 yr Take it easy Roy I kind of like the fact that he's clearly not checked out of the game. I pretty often feel like Bert is, although to be fair, he might be less so in the ninth inning with a lead.
August 8, 20179 yr Know it doesn't matter an ounce for performance sake...but am I the only one who loves guys like Belisle who wear their pants in traditional manner and show the hose?
August 8, 20179 yr That was a super weird sound by Smalley there. If I said what it sounded like, I think I might catch a ban though.
August 8, 20179 yr Roy with the audible "UGGGHHH" seeing that hanging curve halfway to home plate. Edited August 8, 20179 yr by Taildragger8791
August 8, 20179 yr That was a super weird sound by Smalley there. If I said what it sounded like, I think I might catch a ban though.He almost "came out of his shoes". His words, not mine.
August 8, 20179 yr Know it doesn't matter an ounce for performance sake...but am I the only one who loves guys like Belisle who wear their pants in traditional manner and show the hose? Nope. If it were me, I'd 100% rock the stirrups.
August 8, 20179 yr That was a super weird sound by Smalley there. If I said what it sounded like, I think I might catch a ban though. Thats exactly what it sounds like.
August 8, 20179 yr Take it easy RoyAnother hanging curve, another near heart attack. Roy and me both.
