One pitch one out, though Austin had to really battle the sun to catch the routine fly ball.

[SteveA]

Nice quick first for Lowther.

Eddie was having an interesting story about how he came back here. I wish he would have continued 

[Moose Milligan]

"There were certain things you just didn't do to me."

Eddie Murray is a pimp.

[SteveA]

I don't want to hear Philip complaining.   Eddie never spoke to the media very much his entire career, so getting to hear him for a half inning telling stories to Ben and Kevin is a RARE TREAT.

Where was he complaining?

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Wynns with a 3 mph exit velocity there.

He almost always comes on here and  complains when they interview someone during the inning.   He would prefer they concentrate on the game.

Nowhere yet.  But he hates interviews during innings.

[SteveA]

I don't know why, but I feel like we are going to score this inning.

Guess not

[SteveA]

Wow.   Well, Hanser always killed lefties.

[HowAboutThat]

Well, I just tuned in to the game at the end of the fourth inning, and I looked at Lowther’s pitch count and said,” He did well, now bring him out of the game,” and of course Hyde did not and of course he should have and of course this happened.

I was working, but Steve is probably correct, I would’ve been complaining. And I would’ve been right too, we’re not tuning in to hear an interview that can play after the game or before the game. We’re here to watch the game. I don’t know why people don’t get that.

But there is a God, because Steve did not have to listen to me complaining… Although, maybe he does now.
