Covering my eyes and plugging my ears for the next hour or so

Probably a wise move, based on recent history. 

So our "closer" Lopez...you know, the "closer" that we supposedly don't have...gets the 9th. Start praying now. 

Duran at only 20 pitches.  In an alternate universe, he comes out again to pitch the 9th.

Not sure there’s a better reliever in the game right now.

He's been really inconsistent, since his last outing was a dud, let's hope today he gets a 1,2,3 inning. 

Pagan for the 9th?

Agree, but I can't see Rocco doing that.

I hate it when I dread the "closer" pitching.

I wouldn't do that.

Palacios, our new closer with the 27.00 K/9, gets the call.

We just need a 3 run rally to give Lopez some room.

I would like to see them add another 2 runs here to make it less stressful in the 9th ?

The guy says he'd like to start.  Give him something to live for.

Probably not good, but this most recent in the 8th wasn't a sac fly situation. 1st and 2nd.

I was talking about the previous inning where they had two of them.  Both failed.

I see that Hamilton got his projected batting average on the back of his jersey.

So...why did we pinch run again?

"Hamilton?"

You have to be kidding me.

And of course Hamilton slips and doesn't score

...and he needs a little help figuring how to round third!

Lol unreal.  Now they’ll get nothing.

To make sure the runner got to third if somebody doubled.

Glad Hamilton thinks that is funny. Shame to waste a clutch hit by Correra. That doesn't happen often.

Yup. Probably another out at home on a contact play that has 0 chance of scoring

We have dumb players.  Now  another SF to blow.  Then dumb Lopez for the loss.

"In play, run(s)", please.

You laugh. Have you seen Urshela go 1st to 3rd?

On Hamilton, in discussing whether or not there’s a length limitation on the oven mitt he wears, Steve Stone suggests he switch to a foam finger.
