Hopefully not old and fat couples.   Keep them young and trim and maybe its ok.   

Do many young trim guys with young trim partners have much trouble with ED?

[justD]

Adley finally gets one! Was this one any closer, @Sports Guy?

And just as he has all year, DL Hall proves he can strike out AAA hitters.

[Gurgi]

Vespi?   I wanted more heat from DL.  Oh well

If you don’t think having Urias at third and Henderson at second improves the defense, I don’t know what to tell you. 
 

Stowers hit lefties well in the minors and frankly mckenna has hit better then Aguilar this year, if you wanted to pinch hit. You don’t need to pinch hit to make the defensive substitution though. 

That's why I said "it is clear they value Odors defense bigtime".  That has been shown over and over again.  I don't necessarily value it quite as much, but obviously they do.

Good point in McKenna...he is killing lefties this year.  But I think they specifically acquired Aguilar to primarily DH/1B occasionally vs LH starters and cone off the bench to pinch hit vs LH relievers, and that's what they're going to do with him.

Adley looked quite confused after Vespi got that pop up.  He looked concerned.   LOL

He bends down to get dirt on his hand after every pitch, and sometimes multiple times. He’s done that ever since I started watching him. He’s also very cognizant of the pitch clock and moves really quickly from pitch to pitch. 

Good observations!

Well, I mean it might’ve been obvious things but you’d said he looked squirrelly and I was trying to say he was just being his normal self.

[SteveA]

Ten games over .500!

[Gurgi]

We win!!!   Real good game all round.

[SteveA]

Who we giving the W to, Akin?

[Remember The Alomar]

Beyond the dub, it's great to see a few guys break out of their slumps. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

We have 19 more wins than ALL of last year. Un-freaking-real

Yes, it helped me to understand what was going on with him.
