We have a ballgame already here in the first
Babe Pelfrey
I just gotr home from work. What have I missed?
Legitimately good game for Pelfrey.
Are we getting Pressly'd here?
Oh Aaron, Aaron, Aaron...
Outs please.
Huh. Two bunt attempts by Mauer. The fielders must not have moved after the first attempt.
I think I am ok with a Robinson-Hicks-Hunter outfield.
McCutchen smoked that ball.
He's strong
Crudly.
How do you even score that double play?
K / CS - INT.*
* Interference was called, as Marte drunkenly wandered into the batters box.
Graham is doing well here.
...and getting a lot of in-game PFP.
Molly stole three innings there, but still - why no Perk in tie game on the road with day off tomorrow?
Hopefully next inning, whether or not the save is in effect?
I mean, hopefully, the save is in effect...
Duensing? Beyond idiotic. Even if this continues to work out, the process is unbelievably wrong and won't lead to good things down the road. If Molly is concerned about overworking Perkins, why is Boyer pitching constantly?
Yeah, I can't defend bringing Duensing in here.
Duensing? ugh
Next, they'll bring in Bernier to pitch.
Perkins can probably go one inning, two if the first one is short. Do that now. Then ride Duensing for as long as you can; the guy used to start. Otherwise, when do you decide to bring in Perkins now? After 3 Duensing innings? 4?
Well, I mean, Perkins used to start, too, but I agree with your reasoning.
The offense needs to get a run to save Molitor from his own bullpen tendencies. I don't expect that Duensing will hold up 3 innings like Graham did.
BINGO!
It's games like these that make you wonder how just 25 years ago teams were able to make it through entire seasons with just six relievers.
PAUER!!!!
MAUER¡!!!!!!!!!!!!
Against a lefty!
I like that Mauer guy.
When I went to a game in PNC, I sat a few rows in front of the pressbox. It was a great seat (despite Dick's complaints about being in the nosebleed section).
Holy crap, guys. Baby Jeebus saves
Perk's 1st walk of the year
Easy peasy
sweeeeeeep
Duensing is 2-0!
Puppies!
