Can Holliday stop throwing lollipops to first?  That was a little too close to comfort.

Wonder if that's a consequence of a long time shortstop playing 2B for the first time.   First base must look so close, it doesn't "feel" right to wing it like you would in a lifetime of playing short.

This game is far from over...

[Hallas]

can't really complain about that hit.  He got him out in front and swinging at his shoetops and still managed to hit a line drive.

They sit low in the zone and he gives up hits. And when it’s close it’s easy to run on him.

I would have been afraid it would have gotten a lot worse than the inherited guys. I think we would all prefer Akin had just done his job.

Hyde is too worried about relievers who give up a few hits. I get it in close games, but up by four? 

[SteveA]

DP.   Nice.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Very nice!

Probably 30 more minutes or so.

[Roy Firestone]

Needed that DP...I think Danny will finish...

[SteveA]

Add a run here so Kimbrel gets a night off.

[Moose Milligan]

Cano with the stretch at 1st!

Hitters just look down the whole time.  I wish he would throw up in the zone occasionally.  I know he is a sinker ball guy but last year he mixed it up a little. 

You may have something here. Looks like that is exactly what happened on Miranda there.

maybe.  He needs to watch Gunnar throw.  he just winged one to Cano there on the DP.  These guys are pros, they can take a zinger.

I think he's more afraid of throwing it away.
