Hendriks has a good enough curve and change that he shouldn't use the slider. The slider is a huge part of his problem with RHB. Today we've already seen RHB swing and miss against the curve. I see this as a good adjustment by Liam.

Another hard-hit ball from Escobar.

I am developing a mancrush on Escobar.

Well, when you're Jeff Reboulet, I imagine it's pretty easy to crush on middle infielders with a bit of pop.

Back when Jeff Reboulet played I purchased a fantasy baseball magazine that had write ups on every player. I'll never forget Jeff's write up...Reboulet is a French word meaning "bottom of the barrel".

Doumit doesn't usually get a shift like this, does he?

Dick REALLY wants Doumit to bunt here, you can tell.

 

Ugh, maybe he should have.

I maybe remember seeing it twice last year, maybe... so no.

Are we really not going to score here?

Oof, there really is something to be said for a pitcher who can strike out a couple of guys in a row.

Atta Boy Parm!

Effective.

Huge!

Chris deserved that after the last two ABs.

I'll take it.

Nice. I am routing for parmelee to get going. I'll take it.

Yes!!!!

LOLkakis.

Dozier. Strong like bull.

Maybe they'll play Dozier a tad deeper next time up.

Sweet, two out hitting!

Huger!!

Maybe we should turn this over to the bullpen right now.

Huger!!

 

How all we need is an Escobar homer for the hugerest.

Good baserunning to Mornie to get to third? I'm just "watching" by the Yahoo play-by-play and he scampered over from first on a single to "shallow center".

 

Of course Dozier makes it moot with his triple...

HELL YES! Nice to see Parm/Dozier come through here, especially when Doumit and Plouffe could not.

Turn the lineup over Escobear

Well, with two outs he was already around 2nd by the time the ball landed.

 

It was also a broken bat looper that hung in the air just long enough to get over the shortstop.

Pedro is effed

Justin tries to motor through the area around second base. Bad memories.

 

Also, Escobar!
