Marwin Gonzalez takes his revenge for the iffy call from before. Love it.

Marwin is gonna be a G come October.

Honestly, is Adrianza even that much faster than Cruz? He's no slouch on the basepaths.

 

Nice hit, Marwin!

Ok, let’s get a couple more. Who’s warming in the pen?

MARWIN!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll admit I was thinking it was more likely Gonzo would get a hit than Sano, who has been looking lethargic at the plate. 

Contact, Sano.

He tried, i think...

 

Does a foul count?

 

And taking a game tying wild pitch ain't nuttin'.

 

Why would Dick want Cruz pinch run for with two outs when he’ll be running anyway, but not one?

Keep Cruz in the lineup, at this point odds are there’ll be extra innings.

Now you can substitute for Cruz on defense since we have the lead.

that's the joke...

Nice hit, Marwin!

Adrianza seems to get out on the basepaths way more than anyone else I've seen.

Has anyone read the article recently posted here, "Why Miguel Sano's Strikeouts are Not a Problem."

 

Save for a wild pitch, our author might have had some 'splainin' to do...

Again!  Nobody say anything...I'm just getting warmed up.

 

5-5

Thought I was taking credit if we win?

Everyone pray for the BP now...

 

 

Is this what it feels like to root for the Astros or Yankees?

Okay ... what did I miss? Anything good?

Wasn't there an article last year (probably on this site) that ranked runners by speed and Adrianza was barely faster than Mauer?

Hey.... I want part of that.

Adrianza is the best shortstop on the team and Cruz can't even play a position.

 

I'm pretty sure that answers your question.

 

But also, Adrianza is not very fast.

Shame on you.

great. but let’s not forget: they were behind after seven. at home. against the mariners.

I get this one, sorry.  Somebody had to make the call.

They’re not a problem. One AB doesn’t make a problem. Reference his career line compared to Adam Dunns at similar point. And Sano plays much better D. What will be a prob is if he can’t hit pitching in close and late and high leverage situations. I’d like to see some numbers on that. He’s definitely not Big Papi but I wonder if he’s at least ok. He’s also 26 years old.

If the BP holds up I get the win!

Let me check. I still have a soul, so no.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I apologize to any Astros fans, that clearly wasn't meant for you.)

The best baseball teams lose 40% of their games and the worst win 40% of their games.

 

It's just baseball.

Man, if Polanco could ever really learn to play ball we'd really have something huh?

May out for the save.

 

Well, this is fun.

Why May?

I think perhaps you missed the sarcasm.
