Aaand Foley gets his gascan ass a DP

[gehringer_2]

Schoop at least earned his meal money for the night there.

I get why he they don't want to give up on him - it's a big arm and he has a pretty good slider to go with the FB, but it's like the light just doesn't come on all the time.

I’d want to give him some chances if he were 24 instead of 34.

[Dtrain72]

Aaaand Foley goes full gascan...

[Jim Cowan]

And then a couple of ground ball singles

[chasfh]

Giving Foley slack in the leash the get out of this.

so how dumb was it that for all those years in the AL you could only have one IF on the mound in a conference?

[Tigermojo]

Living on the edge

[chasfh]

That ground rule double actually saved a run. That’s it for Foley.

Thankfully it bounced over the fence.

[Motor City Sonics]

Luckiest Double ever. 

[Jim Cowan]

Not Lange?

True enough, but OTOH, if you look at relievers as year to year propositions anyway, I suppose age matters less than whether he's can still bring 97.

[gehringer_2]

Tonight the BP is going to be mortal.

[chasfh]

This kid was never higher than high A until this year. Look what’s he’s being entrusted with now. A.J.’s gonna see if the boy can handle it.

[Tigermojo]

No pressure 23 year old kid

Hard to say on an individual basis. Body can be expected to be degrading at 34. Body is still building at 24.

[Jim Cowan]

Should have used Lange.

[Motor City Sonics]

This is intense. 

[Jim Cowan]

Bring in Lange

[chasfh]

What a gutsy battle Englert engaged in there. Mad respect. 

[gehringer_2]

I have a bad feeling about this.....

[Dtrain72]

Uhhh why AJ...?

[Tigermojo]

Yay
