So Cody Carroll is the extra player up just for today.  And he's up in the pen.

Cue Can if Corn...

Can if corn sounds like preserving instructions.

Kraut.

Love kraut too. Or Chili. But plain French's and a nasty onion is my fave.

I'm sure that Rangers guy is just delightful.

He is. But you know he’s not the only good guy out there, and you also know that those guys aren’t.

Meanwhile, why didn’t Hyde get someone up sooner? This half-inning is taking forever.

There is some bad luck for sure, by we set ourselves up with the poor defense.  Gotta keep it here though, can't afford to give up anymore runs.

Yeah, we score 5+ runs over 70% of the time so it's not over.  But it's hard to see us not allowing more runs with Carroll getting ready.

Hyde hates Akin.

So do I.

It's just because he isn't a 17 year old Dominican.

I was hoping to see Akin today. Surprised he’s not the first up in a long relief situation. 

Well you don't want to follow a lefty starter with a lefty reliever.  The other team has a lineup set up for a lefty.

But Hyde sure doesn't want to use Akin, it seems.

If he doesn’t get in the game tonight there may be something to that.

No.  He's a pudgy faced applejohn who liked some racist stuff on twitter.  

I'm half kidding, about which half you think I'm kidding about is up to you.  But overall he seems like a middling prospect, the type OH loves to dream on because we don't learn lessons.

Milone really wasn't that bad.  Yeah he gave up a few legitimate hits but the defense really let him down.

I thought there was a 7.8% chance he might "start" the suspended game.

I don't know... I don't see the point in bringing him up but I don't know if he'll pitch at all. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes back down for Means.

I'm not expecting anything from him.

It always comes back to food or music with you!   Nothing wrong with that.

Well....yours is the only opinion that matters around here.

Oh well, it’s like Mr Jones said...”sometimes you suck”

We still win the series.
