Jo Jo Reyes has won 1 game in his last 29 starts (his last start- he tied the major league record for consecutive winless starts (28) before that). I hope our offense can jump all over this guy.

I hope so, too. It would be great if we could do it immediately, but at the very least, I hope that we eventually get to him within 5 or 6 innings like we did last night against Romero.

Yeah, it would be nice to get Guts an early lead and let him do the rest. I'm running out of fingernails.

[Steve I]

Ready for another win! If we can get some early runs for Guts, he will do the rest.

[Steve I]

Jones bails out Guts with a nice running catch in deep center. Hopefully that settles Guts down.

Are they still called "rubbers"? Just axing...

No breeze to start the game per Thorney ooooohhhhh AJ!! Good thing!

[Steve I]

Looks like Reimold has been scouted about missing the cutoff and not looking for runners to be going, Bautista just swiped 3rd from 1st on a single to left.

[Steve I]

Not a good inning for Guts, 22 pitches, 3 hits, 1 run

[RevOlution]

Reimold dogged that play. That run is on him. He let the ball two hop instead of going after it. That's not going to please Buck.

[RevOlution]

Atta boy Dino...base hit. :clap3:

[Steve I]

Thorne says "Andino likely not going with Markasis up" My response, Why not, as many DP's as Nicks hits into, start the runner.

[OFFNY]

Come on, offense. Tease them with the 1 run in the top of the first off of Guthrie, and then answer back with 2 or more of our own.

[Steve I]

Nick just missing pitches, if he can get the barrel to the ball...

[OFFNY]

Damnit, that was a good job by Nick of going with that pitrch on the outside corner, it just didn't fall.
