That was strike 3 to McCutcheon there. Umps seem to be drinking the MLB public relations kool-aid in regards to the Phillies here.

Wish they’d show the K-zone. It did look like Pineda was getting squeezed.

Cron should be on 3rd base with a tag there.

CJ base running blunder. Hope it doesn't hurt us.

Tuned in just in time for Hoskins's home run.

 

Tuning out, to save our pitching staff.

 

First time Penada batted. looked like a slimmed down Sano, Big Man

Twins sure seem to be tagging the ball in PHI. Only 7 runs so far in 14 innings despite a lot of barreling up.

Nice start from Pineda.

Mejia in?  Uh, OK.

 

Eeek.

When Berrios doesn't want to come out of the game, he's competitive. When the gynormous Pineda doesn't want to come out, he's terrifying...

 

... is sort of what I got out of the FSN commentary, anyway.

This is working out just marvelously.

Set them up for a triple play.

No worries. Baldelli wisely maneuvering Falvine into a position where they'll be forced to go out and find another reliever before the ASB.

Wow!! Great play by Buxton and Tortuga!!

Love the Tortuga Roll on that double play!!!

Some would say it would just be a hail mary for Buxton to throw a speedy runner like Harper out at the plate.

 

Love the Tortuga Roll on that double play!!!

He came right out of his shell!

Another inherited runner scored. That's not how you spell relief.

Hildy took care of business.

Now let’s see some Tortuga Power!!

Note to Baldelli: If you want to keep getting that from Hildy, don't burn him out. He shouldn't be available tomorrow.

And, as a bonus, he did not see his shadow, so no Tax Day blizzard this year.

As much any other one observable thing about Baldelli, reliever usage (and overuse) is pretty close to the top of my list of things I hope he gets right.

I haven't seen a play like Adrianza's, on a slow roller to third, since the days of Miguel Sano! Whatever happened to that guy, anyway?

 

/ yes, I'm back - hope I'm not jinxing anything, in this tight game

Hey, I resemble that remark.

You better don’t!

Geez how many strikes is this ump going to call a ball and swing it in the Phillies' favor?

Hmm ... Ball to Hoskins, but strike to Garver ... Robo-umps please
