Good to see the bat heating up and the defense. He did have trouble digging the ball out of the corner and Jorge had to jump about 6 feet to make that a "cutoff" throw and then threw a seed to the plate for the out at home.

No idea and I probably shouldn't have have bit and answered.

This team is so much better when Cedric is hitting. He does a lot on the bases.

Why does everything have to be perceived as snark? I wasn't being snarky. I believe she's a grown woman and if she didn't want to go to she would be allowed not to. You made it sound like he's forcing her to go.

I'm certain he doesn't command her to show up.

Cano hasn't been particularly effective lately.

The more games the pen blows, the more Elias will be compelled to fix it.

He didn't.

Almost cost him on that one.

Sucks they didn't give Mounty an error for fanning on that ball under his glove.

No internet readers in 1984! For some silly reason IMDB says 1996-97...

Roy, what year did Up Close start?

No doubt.

Kirby has stopped throwing the fastball. Not surprising.

Kirby also added a run to his ERA. I hope he stays in.

There are many studies that suggest batting order has almost no impact on the game. You lead off once a game unless you are being no-hit. You can die on the hill you're standing on, the research is out there and it's up to you to trust it or not. I'm sure @DrungoHazewood would explain it more eloquently than I can.

Rodriguez with all these soft IF hits.

Burnes is pitching a shutout with less pitches if not for Mounty and his poor D on that play.

They don't appear to be related.

Also fair.

He's the younger brother of Cash.

12 Whiffs for Burnes.

If Burnes is getting roughed up, what is Kirby getting?

Burnes at 50P might not get through 5.
