contreras sure as hell didn't repeat his watching party on a catch at the wall in this game...he was half way to 2nd when it was snagged and hauling ass.

wow.  runs...and a multiple-run lead.

baez #32

also, ARZ is still very much cubs territory.  this might as well be a home game if you only focus on the fans.

Dan Vogel-bomb! Grand slam for M’s in a 4-1 win. 2nd HR in two nights. He’s only had 72 at bats this season though. Still glad to see some success for him.

len gets one of his music picks in coming back from the break...plays some meat puppets...

JD totally called that KB was going to homer - very good stuff!

IIRC, I believe that was KB's first homer to right field this year. 

JD’s had a good night. Earlier, when Len mentioned that Yelich had hit for the cycle and he had also hit for the cycle against the Reds about a month ago...JD says, “the bi-cycle.” I love their broadcast because of stuff like that.

In reply to by crunch

Len and Bob were clearly good friends and had great chemistry -- but I thought Brenley's analysis was pretty Joe Morgan-esque, and I never thought he was he really funny, he was just old-school baseball funny. "When I played, they said I ran like I was angry at the ground HAHAHAHA!"  I find JD to be a much more insightful analyst and a truly funny guy.  But, tastes differ.

    steele MRI on friday.  counsell expects an IL stint.

    no current plans for his rotation replacement.

    I would say also in the bright side column is Busch looked pretty good overall at the plate. Alzolay…man, that hurts but most of the time he’s not giving up a homer to that guy. To me the worst was almonte hanging that pitch to Garcia. He hung another one to the next hitter too and got away with it on an 0-1.

    amaya blocked like 6-8 of smyly's pitches in the dirt very cleanly...not even an exaggeration, smyly threw a ton of pitches bouncing in tonight.

    neris looking like his old self was a relief (no pun), too.

    In looking for bright spots the defense was outstanding tonight. The “stars” are going to need to shine quite a bit brighter than they did tonight offensively though for this to be a successful season.

    Good baseball game. Hopefully Steele is pitching again in April (but I’m not counting on it).

    boo.

    smyly to face the 2/3/4 hitters with a man on 2nd in extras.

    this doesn't seem like a 8 million dollar managerial decision.

    i 100% agree with you, but i dunno how jed wants to run things.  the default is delay.  i would choose brown.

    like hellfrozeover says, could be smyly since he's technically fresh and stretched.

    anyway, on a pure talent basis....brown is the best option.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Use pitchers when you believe they're good. Don't plan their clock.

    I'm sorry. I'm simply anti-clock/contract management. Play guys when they show real MLB potential talent.

    If Brown hadn't been hurt with the Lat Strain he would've gotten the call, and not Wick.

    Give him a chance. 

    But Wesneski probably gets it
