What a great play by Rosario there.

 

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA

I love Ruthless Rye.

 

Chill out ... be glad you aren't sitting in it ... it's not Mollie's call and nothing he would/could say would make no difference.

I was actually planning on going to this series down in Baltimore, but saw the weather forecast, so I booked a trip to Minnie for the home opening series instead. (hopefully it's decent weather in Minnie)

1 AB 1 hit for the rook.

He could say it's pouring I don't need to see my players injured.  No excuse for not protecting your players.

I was thinking of doing that ... usually don't have to work on Mondays ... looked ahead at the schedule ... two rehearsals on the 11th! Grrrrr ...

A little rain never hurt anyone. You act like it's hailing softballs out there....

Dude, it's not his call. The ump would either eject him or tell him to get his ass back into the dugout.

nice job Santana! How many pitches will they let him throw today? Hoping he can at least make it to through the 5th.

I'm not going to the Monday game, I am going to the Wed Night Game and Thursday Day game. This play one game, one day off crap is annoying, plus you get a much bigger bang for your buck waiting for "game 2"

decent weather here?  You have been here before, right?

in 2 innings, Earvin has struck out 3 batters.  Tommy Milone had that many or fewer strikeouts in 10 of his 23 starts last year.

 

FWN!

And the game is over, but hey good thing Santana got to chance it for 10 extra pitches in a downpour.

 

No...but I did have a bottle of Jameson's in my office closet for a while.  Unfortunately, I drank it all (over a period of several years and with a couple of colleagues) and have not replaced it.  My bad.

Shameful negligence.

He's on pace to bat 1.000 for his career!  Clear out a wing in Cooperstown!

 

FWN!

They handled this horribly. Embarrassing..

I think I recall calling a rain delay at the end of 2

..aaaaand...we're delayed

Fan Graphs scale or Baseball Reference scale?

0-0 after 2...may the best bullpen win.

 

IF this game resumes, who does Molitor put out there? Tonkin? Eeeeek

There's nobody I trust more for my weather forecasts than Bert Blylevin.

I'll be at that Wednesday night game as well.  Should be fun.

One of these days I'll catch up to you so you can buy me those 5 beers you owe me.

Get ejected the point is Santana wouldn't be throwing pitches and the tarp would come on. They have an open day no excuse for the Ump to let that happen.

 

Renewed my license today ... I had to pay $5 more for the motorcycle endorsement ... why is that? Why should that cost me more?

Half as many wheels.

Kinda glad that Nolasco isn't our long reliever ... 

Depends on how long the delay is, Santana is a veteran pitcher and he only pitched two innings. If it's 60 minutes or so they can maybe bring him back out.
