Meh.  It was the 7th inning, not the 9th.  Plus I like to think Duran made a great play and you want to take it away from him.  

Fred has tunnel vision.

How is that possible with today's technology?  

He was allegedly reading the grip from Neris in his glove because Neris does a bad job of covering his grip, at least according to Middlebrooks

Duran made a perfect throw. But down three runs you don’t chance it

He could see how Neris was holding the ball

Looks like Whitlock is in good company--almost the same as Crochet and Chapman.  

Do you simply disregard ERA's?  That's what those three have in common--good ERA's.  

No, why ask?

The topic was hard balls hits off pitchers.

I'm a huge Whitlock fan.

[Jasonbay44]

Hicks is another guy who sucks 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hicks is another Buehler.

[Jasonbay44]

Lucky to get out of that.

Hicks and Buehler supply more drama than Netflix.

Not a bad idea, as Narvaez needs some rest.

Agree.  Plus let's not forget Wong is scorching hot right now--3/7 in his last two games.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela has two doubles today. Crickets from Fred.

I’ve made several comments about Rafaela today

All negative, as usual.

[FredLynn]

Alcala won’t be able to finish this game 

[vegasbob]

Toro made the wrong decision going to the bag first, then making a bad throw

 

Duran made a timely , great throw.

Whitlock remains an enigma to me. Lots of junk, gets hit hard

You said “crickets”.

You needed to be corrected again

I have faith in Mr Cala.

[Deja Doh]

What is the fascination with Alcala and Hicks.  They both stink. And the teams they were just on know it too.

[vegasbob]

Al  Cala is a truly awful thrower.

Complete dog

Crickets when he does something good.

Actually, he commented on Rafaela's swing at a bad pitch.

The kid is at .752 in August with no signs of declining. GG defense and plus baserunning.

Well, I no longer have faith.

Woulda been nice to save Chapman for tomorrow.
