Even faster than Mullins and McKenna.  Call em the 3M Express.  It's fun to watch him make things happen.  

 I didn't realize how many M's we have - Mountcastle, Mancini...

[Gurgi]

Why was Hays sent back?

Just a little more idiocy on the part of MLB. Buy a ticket and watch us play, or pay to watch at home. When you do, the umpires will do some things that change the game, and nobody will bother to tell you why.

Mullins hitting into a double play... bench him!

[mrbig1]

A 3 run lead means nothing to me.

Santander seems to be moving a little better.  Seems less of a cripple and the huge defensive liability that he was for months.

Was the Rays' triple legit or misjudged?

Hitting a homer is one way to deal with limited mobility!

Jorge Mateo is very very fast. 

His slide home looked like he was on a high-speed magnetic levitator. Just flew over the ground rather than in it. He probably has propellors somewhere.

He might be a nugget....time will tell.  Hoping he isnt going to be another Felix Pie.   Pie had all the tools but could not make it in the bigs.

I think the ultimate problem with Pie was that he was a late-comer to baseball. Didn't he not play ball until he was something like 16 years old? Mateo is probably much more advanced in that regard at least.

Lopez has given us his standard decent four innings, but is only at 61 pitches. Let's see if he can make it through the fifth or even the sixth (like last time against the Ys).

Did Wynns trade in his defense yesterday for some hitting skills? 3 hits, including 2 doubles in his last 3 at bats.

[Gurgi]

Hays has had an rbi hit with two out twice today.  Picking the Orioles up.  

[LA2]

Earl would have called Martin an effin flea, but I think even he would have been amazed by Mateo--would have given him the green light whenever he wanted it.
