Glad Larnach got something out of that. Bad luck drop followed by terrible call.

Is there a good reason for Cave to be playing at this point of a lost season?

Have you seen Celestino play? Definitely needs more time in AAA. Gordon is the utility guy and played yesterday, and Astudillo is a better fit on the bench.

6 bad K's in his last 9 AB's for Sano, somethings gotta give with this guy....

Well, we got a lead, at least.

 

And we marooned a runner at 3rd.

A little good a little disappoint, all part of a balanced breakfast.

Good thing we sent Donaldson on Garver's double. Sano and Cave acting like ...well, Sano and Cave. I would have bet that Sano would strike out but I'm sure no one would take the bet. He's getting hard to watch again.

Yeah, since he put on Cruz's pants, he's been hitting even worse... ?

I watched a kid (when I say kid, I mean 23-24 yrs old) at the game Saturday night make a $5 bet with all his buddies Sano would K, kid won like $50!!

Well, that's the issue ... will he remain a part-time player or not? He certainly has a very high ceiling. But negotiations aren't done.

Has he ever given any indication that he won’t be a part time player

yeah, I get it ... I wasn't suggesting otherwise ... but IF he gets it all put together ... I think he's worth taking the risk for

Players don't generally get healthier as they get older....

I just joined the thread - curious to see where comments are going.  I was concerned that Rooker was going to get another hit by pitch injury.  Happy that did not happen.  But my enthusiasm for the last 60 is waning even though we could still win 100 if we do not lose another game the rest of the year.

Clearly the inspiration for The Ballad of Irving, which was able to track down because it was got included ina Dr. Demento collection.

 

I learn something new every game thread!

I thought it had something to do with sausages.

I am glad Cave is back.

Might you be talking about Dunderbeck?

 

That one is about sausages...

The artist for Big John, rather than either song...

 

Sorry for being slow on the uptake.

ALERT! A 2-out run scoring single from Sano.

I was rolling my eyes at LaTroy so hard... and then Sano doubled.

We have an uptake? Is it solar powered?

oh Sano ... 

Sano the base stealer?!@&!

Sano tries to steal and ends the inning.  I know he surprised them.  But......

Sano was just trying to line up the big bats of Cave and Simmons to start the next inning.

Boy, Sano is no Nelson Cruz (3-0) when it comes to this base stealing thing is he.

“Miggy, go out there and improve your trade value by stealing second again”

He did steal third recently
