Wow that was special

Well that was embarrassing. It's not going to get much easier than that to catch a ball, Polanco.

that is NOT the defense we need to see

Absolute nonsense AL pitchers are still required to hit during interleague

I think it was 25 years ago already when Bob Costas’ “Fair Ball” came out. One of the things he suggested was switching Houston to the AL and always having at least one interleague matchup. Which, of course has happened.

 

The relevance to this post was that he made the somewhat out of LF proposal that they play by visitor rules for interleague. To give the hometown fans a chance to see the “other” league’s way of playing.

Polanco helping that w.h.i.p. stay above 2 ,  Cmon Jorge wtf was that throw there

Polanco can look spectacular, and he can look terrible.

 

Perez couldn't even take care of the pitcher twice. He is certainly living on the edge.

Should Rocco have a pitcher up  ???  i would

Johnson helped with Martín's velocity, right? Does he know anything about helping with control?

Maybe they should hire Morneau to call pitches from the dugout

It’s too bad Perez just “hit”. I don’t think he gets out of the 4th.

Make the pitcher stand out on the bases. It’s an old trick I learned from pitching for three seasons in T-ball

I don't see why, he's at 50+ pitches and has only given up a single unearned run.

You're mostly carbon. Can I have your corpse diamond when you die?

Sorry. I already looked into this, and the best they can promise is cubic zirconia.

Perez has given up two inexcusable walks but has pitched well otherwise.  He's induced three choppers form the likely NL MVP.  

How's Milwaukee's pen? Anderson can't make it into the 6th.

In my need to kill the joke, I must mention that there isn't enough zircon in your body for that.

Better lucky than good. Baldelli better be ready with the hook next inning. Perez has gotten two swinging strikes. Both by Pina. He didn’t even get swings and misses from the opposing pitcher.

 

F-ugly.

I have a hard time calling 8 baserunners in 4 IP with 2 swinging strikes pitching “well”. I call it “living dangerously”.

There's no movement on the fastball, the little bit I've been watching. Unless a pitcher's got a lot else going for him, it's hard to forecast success with that to build on.

Cleveland within a run. Only the 7th

Wont hit again

With the stuff Perez showed in this game, he would not even last an inning against powerful Yankees or Astros in a playoff game.

Setting up Santana time again ??

Just so many walks

Gotta have at least 2 on - perez 

Perez 5 hits- 4 walks =  Rocco we have seen all we need to, Walking the pitcher should be automatic D.Q.

Hope for a rally. If Perez’s spot comes up with runners on, he would likely get pinch hit for.

Can't get a double play unless you allow a runner to get on
