I think a 3 run lead is the absolute perfect time.

This is the game thread, where people ring their hands and worry over 9-run leads, let alone 3-run leads.

That felt nice. 

[eddie83]

Good inning.

I have no confidence in that.

Great reverse spell there.

Take your time getting to first, Vladdy. No rush.

[Roy Firestone]

Good job for Cano...has to help his confidence...it sure helped mine...

[Dibbs31]

Vlad Jr. is the worst hustler in the league. What a bum

[Billy F-Face3]

Nice quick clean 1,2,3, inning. Cano is in and out with only 11 pitches. Gotta like that. 

[eddie83]

We score we get Baumann instead of Felix.

Coulombe-Cano-Bautista should be the standard 789.

and, I'm here to say...I'm the biggest whiner on this board...though there's some good competition...

[Aristotelian]

Big inning for Cano. Nice changeup in the mix today.

I don't believe in fat non-pitcher baseball players. I know, there have been a few good ones, some even great. To me that is the exception that confirms the rule.

[G54377]

I have a nice payout if Bautista leads the league in saves so these top of the 9ths are always win-win.

[Billy F-Face3]

Cowser has a 0.98 batting average. Ouch.
