I've been doing stuff. Has everyone put their no hitter b***** away?

Banter?

yes I’ve put my nohitter banter away

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Jeffers corals the foultip for a strike out!

[Longdistancetwins]

Jeffers.  That was so neat.  Good reason to watch rather than listen on the radio.

[LVTwinsfan]

There’s something you don’t see every day

[Nine of twelve]

As has been said many times, you can have seen 10,000 Major League games and in a given game still see something you've never seen before. Like that play by Jeffers.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Holy ****, Jeffers. That was Mauer-esque in its sheer “did he really just do that?”

Good. Stop talking about it, Chatty Cathy

[adorduan]

So ESPN showed only one line out against Ryan. So not many hard hit outs against him?  Can't see the game so any info would be great...

We actually never took it out ... that's jinx talk when you talk about it until it's all over

I can't believe people think Astudillo is a better catcher ... I mean ... <no words, looks Heavenward>

Yeah, but has Ryan done it yet?

 

Means he still has something to prove...

He still has alot to prove, but not tonight.   Nothing to be gained by extending him.

There was hard contact and the usual stuff but a lot of routine plays too and pitching ahead in the count

There were a couple of deep fly outs, too ... but ... still routine, as you said

Suppose you're right...

 

Rome wasn't built in a day. 

[stringer bell]

What a play by Jeffers!

Not even a Dobnak-type extension? 

?

I think the Dobnak extension ranks as the biggest WTF of the Falvine regime.

Concur.

 

This strikes a chord with me.

[Nine of twelve]

Bob Allison would have caught that.

He ran hard and created another run 

I think he would have beat the throw if no runner on first....

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

also this guy is trying to hit with a light saber?

We are in accord...

Naaaaaasty breaking ball from Duffey.
