vs. YANKEES, 6/29

Also, very interesting observations on the crowd from Ken - interesting that he didn't make the logical connection between the "wine and cheese" crowd disappearing and the Gnats moving to DC. I will grant that correlation is not causation, but in that case I think there's something to it.

Flaherty is very good at gathering himself and setting his feet before making the throw to 1B.

It's funny how at 28 home runs no one really cared, but uh oh an even THIRTY homers. LOL, humans are funny like that.

Also, Davis has always been this player, clearly. He wasn't speed Bonds type.

No, they did. I've heard since the first series in TB. Where Davis hit one every game

[scOtt]

Jurrjens K! EOI!

[Woody Held]

Anyone knows mph Jurrigens is throwing

Swing hard,just in case you hit something

[eddie83]

I think that ball hit the ground, nice pick by Matt though.

[anrynike]

Good inning Jair.

[weams]

That will look a lot better than it was. Rays are losing.

[Can_of_corn]

I can't imagine Jair starting anymore games this year, but he's alright in relief.

As long as there is at least a five run disparity in score.

Maybe it is worse tonight because the Yanks fans are jealous.

[allquixotic]

Jurrjens, right there, proved that he is about as lucky as Jake Arrieta was in 2011. Anyone remember those innings where Jake would give up singles then walk the bases loaded and get out of it without giving up a run? Jurrjens' inning wasn't quite THAT superlative, but he has recorded 4 outs without surrendering a run. By all counts he should have given up 4 or 5 runs judging by how he's pitching. Incredible that he ends the inning with a K. The Yankees really look bad.

Yup. MLB always gets singled out too. If a NFLer had a hot start or season no one even thinks it.

Doesn't Jake still do that

[UMDTerrapins]

Excited to think what Chen, Reimold and Roberts could add if they play up to their abilities. Hate to see Flaherty lose playing time though.....he's been terrific all around lately.

[eddie83]

Jair for one more inning than Pedro. I just hope fans don't boo him when he comes in, fans should be in a good mood, it accomplishes nothing.
