Thanks, Cruz!!!!

[Aggies7]

Trade value baby 

[Brock Beauchamp]

My good luck charm, a sick toddler. She crawls up to watch and next pitch is Cruz parking the ball.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got Billy Hamilton out.

 

Wipl wonders never cease?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we score.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The shift is so boring. Ban it already. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Larnach on the warning track, nothing but glove.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good job by Kirilloff.

[Nine of twelve]

Kirilloff had the ball in his glove and his foot on the base at the same time. Plus it looked like he tagged the batter-runner on the ankle just in case. Out.

And for my next trick, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!

[Nine of twelve]

A foul pop-up on a 3-0 count after there were already two walks in the inning. Sometimes the opposition makes ill-advised decisions too.

Sure!

 

Tuned in right at the end of the Top of the 4th, and I see that what I missed is exactly the same as what War's good for...

 

Absolutely nothing.

 

You're welcome!

Good god, y'all.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Arraez!

And we gotta be greedy.

 

Nicely done Cellestino!

[Aggies7]

If we don’t score here,

 

I won’t be surprised 

[RickOShea]

Larnach has just been schooled.

Routine ground balls to second are so boring.  Ban them already.

I can remember when looked a lot younger when ignoring his players using rhoids.

[Nine of twelve]

Where exactly was Hamilton trying to throw that?

[Nine of twelve]

Clearly safe.

[ashbury]

Skillful slide by Arraez!

I don’t know but it was a heck of a lot closer than I thought it would be 

[Nine of twelve]

The ump was in excellent position to call that.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a fine baseball play all around.

Unless you're Keith Richards.

I was referring to Cruz' sac fly.

Amen....

[Cap'n Piranha]

Ok, let's put in our closer to finish this one off!

 

Oh, wait...

2021 being 2021, what fresh hell awaits us in the bottom of the 8th?
