6-6 in the 6th inning now.  I hope there isn't some evil here.

Don't look now, 6-6 in the 6th, number 6 is up.

Mountcastle clutch.

Yeah! Let’s go Mountie!!!

[PHRESH]

Mountcastle! 

[Moose Milligan]

Mountcastle is such a better hitter when he's going to the opposite field.  It's night and day.

Creepy.....

That's what plate discipline does for you. Get in a good count then ambush the FB.

Palmer's disdain for the quality start stat is hysterical.

Mountcastle with a quality at bat hitting the ball the other way for a base hit insstead of pulling the ball for a fly ball out to left field.

Took some time but it feels soooo good to have done this!

That's what makes Mountcastle so frustrating because while he's a decent hitter, you can see he has the ability to be an all star level hitter.

Palmer's disdain is always hysterical. He's does disdain so well.

I think the spot in their lineup was a place for right hander with  5 straight right hand hitters.  He probably wanted Akin in next inning with Alvarez, Bergman, and Tucker so good spot for lefty with 2 lefties they have in lineup.  Most likely wanted Krehbal to work through bottom of order and righties.  Then use Akin in the sixth so he could have Perez for that spot in the 8th if he needed him.  Now he going to have to find another guy to get through the Alvarez Tucker area.  

Makes sense to me..
