Damn it, Avery. You were already on second base with 2 outs, plus the count was 3-1 on the batter, and the pitches (and the pressure) was piling up on Bard.

Right!

Coaches should control a rookie's running game.

Why have Avery steal 3B on a 3-1 count with 2 outs?

I don't think that is a coaches call, do you?

[Brendan25]

Arrieta seems to be struggling with control today. Hope we tack on some runs early.

[nevadaO]

Way to stay with it but lucky that Ortiz is freakin' slow.

[MarylandAaron]

Oh my gosh. Super play by Flaherty. Kid's a ballplayer.

[AgentOrange]

Wow, Davis with a very poor stretch on that throw. At least we got him. And another poor stretch. COME ON CHRIS!!!!!

[kyleott]

Doesn't Chris Davis know the proper footwork on the bag? He's supposed to stride towards the throw AFTER the throw has been made, that way he doesn't have to catch the balls away from his body off balance and awkwardly. Good play by Flaherty though.

It should be in the sense he shouldn't be alowed to run without a sign. He's too green to be given a green light.

Ugh, phone is already nearing death.

What you just described isn't really proper, either....

[Murray#1]

Gameday has Arrieta being squeezed big time. Is this accurate? Gameday literally has pitches that catch the middle of the plate being called balls.

[Goober Noodles]

This is why I don't drink Sam Adams.

[El Gordo]

I swear Flaherty reminds me of Belanger physically, in the field

[nevadaO]

Any yet another walk.
