Castro hits here, why exactly?

 

Managin'

Who do you want to hit for him?

I thought LaMarre was the bestest spring training player ever?(!!)

 

Yes they are.

Ugh.  Hanging curveball.  Knew it as soon as it left my fingertips.

 

 

We got this...got those stinkin O's right where we want them.

A real Luke Hughes

 

Caleb Joseph famously went the entire 2016 season without an RBI.

I thought that was Mauer.

I’m only 31, but I remember when ballplayers had moustaches like o’day, and didn’t wear them ironically.

Robbie (OBP) Grossman

O'Day could start a coffee bar in Portland with that stache.

The olé olé olé chant is a soccer thing, and it's even played out there.

But then he'd have to be in Portland.

But NOW we are going to bring in Reed?

 

1 IP, 4 K, 2 R

Many people tomorrow will see that line and think “WTF?”

You don't know that O'Day's mustache is ironic. Maybe he has a side gig as a magician?

They say rbi's don't mean anything so that might not be a bad thing.

Given the lack of offense to this point, I'm willing to give the fans a pass here.

SOMEone needs to ask Molitor why he let a RH hitter get the go ahead hit off Zach Duke.

 

Castro hits here, why exactly?

 

Because the 9th place hitter was due up,Castro's name is written on the 9th line of the lineup card, and Molitor elected not to pinch hit.

 

O'Day's mustache is iconic.

FIFY

SOMEone needs to ask Molitor why he let a RH hitter get the go ahead hit off Zach Duke.

Pictured: Lavelle, Berardino, and Reusse in the locker room post-game.

 

But then he'd have to be in Portland.

I wish he had been.

Reed looks good....hmmm

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they are singing "O'Day, O'Day O'Day O'Day".  It's marginally clever, and much more clever than singing "O...O, O, O, O, O....O" to Seven Nation Army every time a run is scored.

That actually makes way more sense. I stand corrected.

You've got to enjoy a town that is known for being marginally clever. 

Danny thinks it's unfair Duke is on the hook for the lass, since he had 4 k's in his one inning.

 

That's a true fact Danny, as is the fact he had one triple allowed in the inning.

You're not Torii, Dick.

I'm going to really like Reed throughout this season.

As is the fact if Castro blocks strike three to the leadoff guy, there's no triple.

 

But I still don't let either of those last two RH hitters hit off Duke.  You gotta do some managin' once that develops.

 

So it was obvious Duke didn't have it today...so why leave him out there exactly?

 

the bullpen is pretty tired, need to save them....
