    Bases loaded no outs. They really had a chance to get Alvarez's pitch count up and failed.

    If he wasn't trying to pull it he could have served it into RF.

    Don't you know that nothing good happens on a K.

    Live in Norfolk. The relative proximity and dynamics of the team attract me. Hopefully made the right choice!

    Because it was a good pitch to hit.

    I'm upset with the execution, not the decision to swing.

    Never been much of a Jones fan. He doesn't have the discipline to be a star.

    It was right down the middle of the plate. It's not Nick standing back near the dugout.

    I'd still take that over a DP. Give Wieters a chance to hit with the bases loaded and one out.

    Tommy, I said that you would pitch well tonight. Don't make me look bad.

    Amazing how we can only score one run with the bases loaded and no outs.

    I guess I should feel lucky that we even scored one.

    Well your other choice for a potential star is Wieters. And that's it. I'll take Adam Jones on my team any day.

    True dat, But he had a problem throwing strikes. If he's wild Adam should at lease take one strike.

    I can just tell Hunter is going to let up HR anytime soon. He is leaving the ball way to far up.
